WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below, may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Know your tool. Read the operator’s manual
carefully. Learn the saw’s applications and
limitations as well as the specific potential
hazards related to this tool.
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 toward the operator. Pinching
the saw chain along the top of the guide bar
may push the guide bar rapidly back toward the
operator. Either of these reactions may cause
you to lose control of the saw, which could result
in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a
chain saw user, you should take several steps
to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
With abasicunderstanding of kickback,
you can reduce or eliminate the element
of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to
accidents.
• Keepagoodfirmgriponthesawwithboth
hands when the engine is running. Place
your right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle with your
thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw
handles. A firm grip together with a stiff left
arm will help you maintain control of the saw
if kickback occurs.
• 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, fence, or any other obstruction that
could be hit while you are operating the
saw.
Cut at high engine speeds. Always cut
with the engine running at full speed. Fully
squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain a
steady cutting speed.
• Donotoverreachorcutabovechestheight.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Only use replacement bars andchains
specified by the manufacturer or the
equivalent.
Do not operate a chain saw with one
hand. Serious injury to the operator, helpers,
bystanders, or any combination of these
persons may result from one-handed operation.
A chain saw is intended for two-handed use.
Do not operate a chain saw when you are
fatigued. Fatigue causes carelessness. Be more
cautious before rest periods and towards the
end of your shift. Never operate a chain saw
when you are tired or under the influence of
medication, drugs, or alcohol.
Use safety footwear. Wear snug-fitting
clothing, protective gloves, and eye, hearing,
and head protection devices.
Heavy protective clothing may increase
operator fatigue, which could lead to
heat stroke. During weather that is hot and
humid, heavy work should be scheduled for
early morning or late afternoon hours when
temperatures are cooler.
Do not stand on any unstable surface while
using the chain saw, that includes ladders,
scaffolds, trees, etc.
Use caution when handling fuel. Move the
chain saw at least 30 feet from the fueling point
before starting the engine.
Do not allow other persons to be near the
chain saw when starting or cutting with the
chain saw.Keepbystandersandanimalsout
of the work area.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear
work area, secure footing, and a planned
retreat path from the falling tree.
Keep all parts of your body away from the
saw chain when the engine is running.
Always carry the chain saw with the engine
stopped and the chain brake engaged, the
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Page 4 — English
WARNING:
The warnings, labels, and instructions found
in this section of the operator’s manual are for
your safety. Failure to follow all instructions may
result in serious personal injury.
Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush (a
diameter of less than 3 in.).
Muffler surfaces are very hot during and after
operation of the chain saw; keep all body parts
guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the
muffler away from your body. When transporting
the chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar
scabbard.
Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain
stops moving when the throttle control trigger
is released.
Shut off the engine before setting the chain
saw down. Do not leave the engine running
unattended. As an additional safety precaution,
apply the chain brake prior to setting down the
saw.
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.
When cutting a limb that is under tension,
be alert for springback so that you will not be
struck when the tension in the wood fibers is
released.
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or
fuel mixture.
Beware of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated
areas.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless
you have been specifically trained to do so.
Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely
dangerous.
All chain saw service, other than the items listed
in the instruction manual and all maintenance,
should be performed by competent chain saw
service personnel. (For example, if improper
tools are used to remove the flywheel or if an
improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in
order to remove the clutch, structural damage
to the flywheel could occur and subsequently
could cause the flywheel to burst.)
Always have a fire extinguisher available
when using chain saw.
Use only the replacement guide bars and low
kickback chains specified for the saw.
Do not adapt the powerhead to a bow guide
or use it to power any attachments or devices
not listed for the saw.
The gas powered saw (or electrically
powered saw) is classified by CSA as a
Class 1C (or Class 2C) 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.
Save these instructions. Refer to them
frequently and use to instruct other users. If you
loan someone this product, loan them these
instructions also.
away from the muffler. Serious burns may occur
if contact is made with the muffler.
Always hold the chain saw with both hands
when the engine is running. Use a firm grip
with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain
saw handles.
Never let anyone use the chain saw who
has not received adequate instructions in its
proper use. This applies to rentals as well as
privately owned saws.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Page 5 — English
Refer to Adjusting the Carburetor in the
Maintenance section of this manual. If the saw
chain still moves at idle speed after adjustment
has been made, contact an authorized service
center for adjustment and discontinue use until
the repair is made.
REFUELING (DO NOT SMOKE!)
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
Mix and store fuel in a container approved for
gasoline.
Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks
or flames.
Select bare ground, stop the engine, and
allow it to cool before refueling.
Loosen the fuel cap slowly to release pres-
sure and to keep fuel from escaping around the
cap.
Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.
Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 30
feet away from refueling site before starting
engine.
Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under
any circumstances.
KICKBACK
Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can
lead to serious injury. Do not rely only on the
safety devices provided with the saw. As a
chain saw user, you must take special safety
precautions to help keep your cutting jobs free
from accident or injury. See the General Safety
Rules and Operation sections of this manual
for added information on kickback and how to
avoid serious personal injury.
Before you start the engine, make sure the
saw chain is not contacting any object.
Wear snug-fitting clothing. Always wear
heavy, long pants, boots, and gloves. Do not
wear jewelry, short pants, sandals, or go bare-
foot. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, which
could be drawn into the engine or catch the
chain or underbrush. Wear overalls, jeans, or
chaps made of cut-resistant material or ones
that contain cut-resistant inserts. Secure hair
so that it is above shoulder level.
Wear non-slip safety footwear and heavy-
duty gloves to improve your grip and to protect
your hands.
Wear eye protection which is marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1, as well as hearing
and head protection, when operating this
equipment.
Keep bystanders and animals out of the work
area. Do not allow other persons to be nearby
during starting or cutting with the chain saw.
NOTE: The size of the work area depends on the
job being performed as well as the size tree or
workpiece involved. For example, felling a tree
requires a larger work area than making other
cuts (i.e., bucking cuts, etc.).
Keep SAFE-T-TIP
®
anti-kickback nose guard
properly mounted on the guide bar to prevent
rotational kickback.
Follow the sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Never 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 throttle control
trigger is released. If the saw chain moves at
idle speed, the carburetor may need adjusting.

NOTE: Allow the saw to run in this position
15-30 seconds, depending upon the tempera-
ture.
Depress the trigger release and squeeze and
release the throttle trigger to return the engine
to idle after a total run time of at least 30 sec-
onds.
CAUTION:
Failure to release partial throttle when chain
brake lever is in the brake position will result in
serious damage to the unit. Never squeeze and
hold the throttle trigger while the chain brake is
in the brake position.
To Start a Warm Engine:
Set the ignition switch to the RUN ( I ) position.
Make sure the chain brake is in the run position
by pulling back on the lever/hand guard.
Pull choke lever out to FULL CHOKE position
then push immediately back to RUN position to

STOPPING THE ENGINE
See Figures 12 - 13.
Release the throttle trigger and let the engine return
to idle. To stop the engine, move the ignition switch
to the STOP ( O ) position. Do not put the chain
saw on the ground when the chain is still moving.
For additional safety, set the chain brake when the
saw is not in use.
In the event that the ignition switch will not stop the
saw, pull the choke lever out to the fully extended
position (FULL CHOKE ) and engage chain brake
to stop the engine. If the ignition switch will not
stop the saw when set to the STOP position, have
the ignition switch repaired before using the chain
saw again to prevent unsafe conditions or serious
injury.
NOTE: When you are finished using the saw,
always relieve tank pressure by loosening, then
retightening, the chain oil and fuel caps. Allow the
engine to cool before storing.
ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED
See Figure 14.
If the engine starts, runs, and accelerates,
but will not idle, turn the idle speed screw “T”
clockwise to increase idle speed.
If the chain turns at idle, turn the idle speed
screw “T” counterclockwise to reduce the
idle RPM and stop the chain movement. If the
saw chain still moves at idle speed, contact an
authorized service center for adjustment and
discontinue use until the repair is made.

WARNING:
THE SAW CHAIN SHOULD NEVER TURN AT
IDLE. Turn the idle speed screw “T” counter-
clockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop the
chain, or contact an authorized service center
for adjustment and discontinue use until the
repair is made. Serious personal injury may
result from the saw chain turning at idle.
PULL AND PUSH
See Figure 15.
The reaction force of the saw is always opposite to
the direction the chain is moving. Thus, the operator
must be ready to control the PULL when cutting
on the bottom edge of the bar and the PUSH when
cutting along the top edge.
NOTE: The chain saw has been fully factory
tested. It is normal to find some slight oil residue
on the saw.
WARNING:
KICKBACK occurs when the moving chain
contacts an object at the upper portion of the
tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in
and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact
at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar
can cause the chain to dig into the object and
stop the chain for an instant. The result is a
lightning-fast reverse reaction which kicks the
guide bar up and back toward the operator. If
the saw chain is pinched along the top of the
guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly
back toward the operator. Either of these reac-
tions can cause loss of saw control, which can
result in serious injury.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices
built into the saw. As a chain saw user, you
should take steps to keep your cutting jobs
free from accident or injury. See General Safety
Rules for more details.

KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
See Figures 16 - 17.
Rotational kickback occurs when the moving chain
contactsanobjectattheKickbackDangerZoneof
the guide bar. The result is a lightning-fast reverse
reaction, which kicks the guide bar up and back
towards the operator. This reaction can cause loss
of control, which can result in serious injury.
PREPARING FOR CUTTING
PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES
See Figure 18.
See General Safety Rules for appropriate safety
equipment.
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
protection.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Always
keep your left hand on the front handle and your
right hand on the rear handle so that your body
is to the left of the chain line.
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip or
any stance that would place your body or arm
across the chain line.
Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the
engine is running. The fingers should encircle
the handle and the thumb is wrapped under the
handlebar. This grip is least likely to be broken
by a kickback or other sudden reaction of the
saw. Any grip in which the thumb and fingers
are on the same side of the handle is dangerous
because a slight kick of the saw can cause loss
of control.

WARNING:
Alway use the proper cutting stance described
in this section. Never kneel when using the
chain saw except when felling a tree as shown
infigure24.Kneelingcouldresultinlossofsta-
bility and control of the saw resulting in serious
personal injury.

WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS
See Figure 20.
Cut only wood or materials made from wood;
no sheet metal, no plastics, no masonry, no
non-wood building materials.
Never allow children to operate the saw. Allow
no person to use this chain saw who has
not read this operator’s manual or received
adequate instructions for the safe and proper
use of this chain saw.
Keepeveryone–helpers,bystanders,children,
and animals, a SAFE DISTANCE from the cut-
ting area. During felling operations, the safe
distance should be a least twice the height of the
largest trees in the felling area. During bucking
operations, keep a minimum distance of 15 feet
between workers.
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to
prevent being pulled off balance.
Do not cut above chest height as a saw held
higher is difficult to control against kickback
forces.
Do not fell trees near electrical wires or build-
ings. Leave this operation for professionals.
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate
for you to see clearly.
BASIC OPERATING/CUTTING
PROCEDURES
Practice cutting a few small logs using the following
technique to get the “feel” of using the saw before
you begin a major sawing operation.
Take the proper stance in front of the wood with
the saw idling.
Accelerate the engine to full throttle just before
entering the cut by squeezing the throttle trig-
ger.
Begin cutting with the saw against the log.
Keeptheengineatfullthrottletheentiretime
you are cutting.
Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light
downward pressure. Forcing the cut could result
in damage to the bar, chain, or engine.
Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is
completed allowing the engine to idle. Running

the saw at full throttle without a cutting load can
result in unnecessary wear to the chain, bar, and
engine.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of
the cut.
FELLING TREES
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS
WARNING:
Do not fell trees during periods of high wind or
heavy precipitation. Wait until the hazardous
weather has ended.
When felling a tree, it is important that you heed
the following warnings to prevent possible serious
injury.
Do not cut down trees having an extreme lean
or large trees with rotten limbs, loose bark,
or hollow trunks. Have these trees pushed or
dragged down with heavy equipment, then cut
them up.
Do not cut trees near electrical wires or buildings.
Check the tree for damaged or dead branches
that could fall and hit you during felling.
Periodically glance at the top of the tree during
the backcut to assure the tree is going to fall in
the desired direction.
If the tree starts to fall in the wrong direction,
or if the saw gets caught or hung up during the
fall, leave the saw and save yourself!
PROPER PROCEDURE FOR TREE
FELLING
See Figures 21 - 24.
Pick your escape route (or routes in case the
intended route is blocked). Clear the immediate
area around the tree and make sure there are
no obstructions in your planned path of retreat.
Clear the path of safe retreat approximately 135°
from the planned line of fall.
Consider the force and direction of the wind, the
lean and balance of the tree, and the location of
large limbs. These things influence the direction
in which the tree will fall. Do not try to fell a tree
along a line different from its natural line of fall.
