Ensure you use oil-mix fuel. Ensure that you mix 50 parts
unleaded fuel to 1 part 2-stroke oil. If not, the engine will
overheat and cause damage to your chain saw.
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when
engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling
fuel tank.
Kickback safety precautions
Kickback may occur when the tip of the guide bar
touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain.
If the bar tip or point contacts, it can produce a rapid
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back
towards the operator. This is known as rotational
kickback.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the
operator. This is known as pinch kickback.
Either of these reactions can cause loss of control of the
saw, resulting in serious personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into
your saw. Take the following steps to help avoid accident
or injury:
Reduce the element of surprise by understanding what
causes kickback.
Keep a firm grip on the chain saw using both hands, the
right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the
front handle when the motor is running. A firm grip will help
maintain control. Do not let go whilst the motor is running.
Make sure that the area of operation is free of
obstructions. Do not let the point of the guide bar contact
a log, branch or any other object.
Use high speeds when cutting.
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
Carefully follow the sharpening and maintenance
instructions given in this manual.
Use only replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer.
DANGER!
BEWARE OF KICKBACK!
WARNING!
Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control
of the chain saw and result in serious or fatal injury to the
saw operator or to anyone standing close by. Always be
alert. Rotational kickback and pinch kickback are major
chain saw operational dangers and the leading cause of
most accidents.

that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing.
