When using a chain saw for logging purposes, refer to the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1910.226(5); 2.5.1., of American National Standard Safety Requirements for Pulpwood Logging, ANSI 03.1-1978; and relevant state safety codes. These models are classified according to CAN/ CSAZ62.1- 03 as a Class 1C saw. They are intended for infrequent use by homeowners, cottagers, and campers, and for such general applications as clearing, pruning, cutting firewood, etc. They are not intended for prolonged use. If the intended use involves prolonged periods of operation, this may cause circulatory problems in the user’s hands due to vibration. All models covered in this manual employ an antivibration feature for increased comfort and safety. 2-3. GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHAIN SAW USERS 1. Fatigue causes carelessness. Be more cautious before rest periods and towards the end of your shift. 2. Personal protective clothing required by your safety organizations, government regulations, or your employer should be used. At all times when using a chain saw, snug-fitting clothing, protective eye wear, safety footwear, and hand, leg, and hearing protection should be worn. 3. Before refueling, servicing, or transporting your chain saw, switch off the engine. To help prevent fire, restart your chain saw at least 9.1m (30ft) from the fuelling area. 4. When a chain saw is being used, a fire extinguisher should be available. 5. When felling, keep at least 2 tree lengths away from your fellow workers. 6. Plan your work, ensuring an obstacle-free work area and, in the case of felling, at least one escape path from the falling tree. 7. Follow the instructions in your operator’s manual for starting the chain saw and control the chain saw with a firm grip on both handles when it is in operation. Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil. 8. When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate transportation covers, which should be available for the guide bar and saw chain. 9. Never operate a chain saw that is damaged or improperly adjusted or that is not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the power control system trigger is released. Never adjust the guide bar or saw chain when the engine is operating. 10. Beware of carbon monoxide poisoning. Operate the chain saw in well-ventilated areas only. 11. Do not attempt a pruning or limbing operation in a standing tree unless specifically trained to do so. 12. Guard against kickback. Kickback is the upward motion of the guide bar that occurs when the saw chain, at the nose of the guide bar, contacts an object. Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw. 13. A chain saw is intended for two-handed use. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, and/or bystanders can result from one-handed operation. 14. See section 2-5, 2-6 for symbol definitions, page 5. 15. When carrying a chain saw with the engine running, engage the chain brake. 16. Allow your chain saw to cool before refueling, and do not smoke. 17. Keep other persons or animals a safe distance away from a running chain saw or the area where a tree is being felled. 18. Use extreme caution when cutting small brush and saplings because slender material can catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you. 19. When cutting a limb that is under tension or compression, be alert for springback. 20. This gas-powered saw is classified according to CAN/ CSA-Z62.1-03 as a Class 1C saw. It is intended for infrequent use by homeowners, cottagers, and campers, and for such general applications as clearing, pruning, cutting firewood, etc. It is not intended for prolonged use. Prolonged periods of operation can cause circulatory problems in the user’s hands due to vibration. For such use, it may be appropriate to use a saw having an anti-vibration feature. 2-4. MORE ABOUT KICKBACK WARNING DANGER! BEWARE OF KICKBACK! 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.

TOOLS FOR ASSEMBLY (YOUR SAW WAS ASSEMBLED AT THE FACTORY) You will need these tools to assemble your chain saw: 1. Combination wrench-screwdriver (contained in your user’s kit or in lid of carry case). 2. Heavy duty work gloves (user supplied). 3-2.
