Cleaning guide bar
Chips and sawdust will build up in the guide bar groove,
clogging it and impairing oil flow. Always clean out the
chips and sawdust when sharpening or replacing the
saw chain.
Storing machine
Clean the machine before storing. Remove any chips and sawdust from the machine after
removing the chain cover. After cleaning the machine, run it under no load. Then remove the
battery cartridge from the machine and lubricate the saw chain and guide bar.

Use Right Tool
Cut wood only. Don't use chain saw for purpose not intended - for example
- Don't use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials.
8.
Dress Properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can get caught in moving parts. Work
gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
9.
Use Safety Glasses
Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields which comply with current national
standards, or when needed, a face shield.
10. Carrying Saw
Carry the chain saw with the saw stopped, finger off the switch, the guide bar and saw
chain to the rear.
11. Maintain Chain Saw With Care
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
12. Disconnect Chain Saw
Disconnect battery cartridge from chain saw when not in use, before servicing, and when
changing accessories and attachments, such as saw chain and guard.
13. Stay Alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate chain saw when you are
tired. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the motor is operating.
Before you start the saw, make sure the saw chain is not in contact with anything.
14. Check Damaged Parts
Before further use of the chain saw, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise
indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by
authorized service center. Do not use chain saw if switch does not turn it on and off.
Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the trigger is released.
15. Guard Against Kickback
WARNING: KICKBACK may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches
an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact
in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up
and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar
may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may
cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious injury to user. The
following precautions should be followed to minimize kickback.
1) Grip saw firmly. Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the motor is running.
(
Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
