•
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the
tool "live" and shock the operator.
•
Do not attempt operations beyond your capacity or
experience. Read thoroughly and understand completely all
instructions in this manual.
•
Before you start chain saw, make sure saw chain is not
contacting any object.
•
Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury
to the operator, helpers, or bystanders may result from one
handed operation. A chain saw is intended for two‑handed
use only.
•
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or grease.
•
Do not allow dirt, debris, or sawdust to build up on the motor
or outside air vents.
•
Stop the chain saw before setting it down.
•
Do not cut vines and/or small under brush.
•
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and
saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

Bucking ‑ The process of cross cutting a felled tree or log
into lengths.
Motor Brake (if equipped) ‑ A device used to stop the saw
•
chain when the trigger is released.
Chain Saw Powerhead ‑ A chain saw without the saw chain
•
and guide bar.
Drive Sprocket or Sprocket ‑ The toothed part that drives

the saw chain.
Felling ‑ The process of cutting down a tree.
•
•
Felling Back Cut ‑ The final cut in a tree felling operation made
on the opposite side of the tree from the notching cut.
Front Handle ‑ The support handle located at or toward the
•
front of the chain saw.
Front Hand Guard ‑ A structural barrier between the front
•
handle of a chain saw and the guide bar, typically located
close to the hand position on the front handle.
•
Guide Bar ‑ A solid railed structure that supports and guides
the saw chain.
Scabbard/Guide Bar Cover ‑ Enclosure fitted over guide bar
•
to help prevent tooth contact when saw is not in use.
Kickback ‑ The backward or upward motion, or both of the
•
guide bar occurring when the saw chain near the nose of the
top area of the guide bar contacts any object such as a log or
branch, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain
in the cut.
Kickback, Pinch ‑ The rapid pushback of the saw which can
•
occur when the wood closes in and pinches the moving saw
chain in the cut along the top of the guide bar.
Kickback, Rotational ‑ The rapid upward and backward
•
motion of the saw which can occur when the moving saw
8
chain near the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar
contacts an object, such as a log or branch.
•
Limbing ‑ Removing the branches from a fallen tree.
Low‑Kickback Chain ‑ A chain that complies with the
•
kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1–2012

Normal Cutting Position ‑ Those positions assumed in
•

•
Notching Undercut ‑ A notch cut in a tree that directs the

•
wood,and that is driven by the motor and is supported by the
guide bar.
Ribbed Bumper ‑ The ribs used when felling or bucking to
•

Switch ‑ A device that when operated will complete or
•
interrupt an electrical power circuit to the motor of the
chain saw.
•
Switch Linkage ‑ The mechanism that transmits motion from
a trigger to the switch.
Switch Lockout ‑ A movable stop that prevents the
