SAFETY

Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the

rear handle, and the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is

running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the

chainsaw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and

maintain control of the saw. Don't let go.

Make sure that the area in which

you are cutting is free from

obstructions. Do not let the nose

of the guide bar contact a log,

branch, or any other obstruction

which could be hit while you are

operating the saw.

Cut at high engine speeds.

Do not overreach or cut above

shoulder height.

Follow manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the

saw chain.

Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or

the equivalent.
