-
structions in Important Safety Information
on pages 3 through 5. Improper use of this
chain saw can cause severe injury or death
from fire, electrical shock, body contact
with moving chain, or falling wood.
WARNING: When using an electric
chain saw, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to
persons, including the following:
safety hard hat
ear mufflers or ear plugs
hair covering to contain long hair
face or dust mask (if working in dusty areas)
10. Before cutting, always provide the following:
clear work area
secure footing
planned retreat path from falling tree
11. Inspect tree before cutting down. Make sure there are
no dead limbs or branches that may fall on you.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this saw has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet of
your extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, a polarized extension cord will be
necessary. Do not change the plug in any way.
WHILE OPERATING SAW
1. Stay alert. Use common sense while operating
chain saw.
2. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite
injuries.
3. Be aware of extension cord while operating chain
saw. Be careful not to trip over cord. Keep cord
away from chain and operator at all times.
4. Keep children, animals, and bystanders away
from chain saw and extension cord. Only chain
saw user should be in work area.
5. Do not cut down a tree unless you are trained or
have expert help.
6. If two or more persons perform bucking and fell
-
ing operations at the same time, provide plenty
of distance between operations. Provide distance
of at least twice the height of tree being felled.
7. Secure wood you are cutting by using clamps or
chocks.
8. Grip chain saw firmly with both hands. Never
operate chain saw with one hand. Never use hand
guard as handle.
9. Keep finger off trigger until ready to make cut.

contact with grounded objects such as pipes,
fences, and metal posts.
12. Keep all parts of body away from chain when
saw is running.
13. Do not force chain saw while cutting. Apply light
pressure. It will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was intended.
14. Cut small brush and saplings with extreme care.
Slender material may catch in chain and be
whipped toward you. This could also pull you
off balance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
Continued
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 opera
-
tor. 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.
KICKBACK
15. When cutting limb or tree trunk that is under
tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood
springing back. When wood tension is released,
limb could spring back and strike operator caus
-
ing severe injury or death.
16. Carry chain saw from one place to another
with saw stopped and unplugged
by holding front handle (never use hand guard
as handle)
with finger off trigger
with guide bar and chain to rear
Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced
kickback guide bar. Both items reduce the chance of
kickback. Kickback can still occur with this saw.
Follow assembly instructions on pages 7 and 8. Do
not remove front hand guard. Do not replace front
hand guard with substitute.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running.
Use firm grip. Thumbs and ngers must wrap
around saw handles.
Keep all safety items in place on saw. Make sure
they work properly.
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
Stand slightly to left side of saw. This keeps your
body from being in direct line with chain.
Do not let guide bar nose touch anything when
chain is moving (see Figure 1).
WARNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill
-
ing, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known (to the state
of California) to cause cancer, birth de
-
fects, or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paints
crystalline silica from bricks and ce
-
ment and other masonry products
arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
WARNING: This product contains
chemicals known to the State of Cali
-
fornia to cause cancer or birth defects,
or other reproductive harm.

CUTTING WITH THE CHAIN SAW
1. Connect saw to extension cord. Connect exten-
sion cord to power supply.
2. Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying
on ground. This will keep chain from touching
ground as it cuts through log. Touching ground
with moving chain will dull chain.
3. Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left hand
to grip front handle and right hand to grip rear
handle. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must
wrap around saw handles (see Figure 12).
4. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart.
Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
5. When ready to make a cut, push the lockout
button completely forward with the right thumb
and squeeze the trigger (see Figure 12). This will
turn saw on. Releasing trigger will turn saw off.
Make sure saw is running at full speed before
starting a cut.
6. When starting a cut, place moving chain against
wood. Hold saw rmly in place to avoid possible
bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of saw.
7. Guide saw using light pressure. Do not force
saw. The motor will overload and can burn out.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended.
8. Remove saw from a cut with saw running at full
speed. Stop saw by releasing trigger. Make sure
chain has stopped before setting saw down.
9. Practice until you can maintain a steady, even
cutting rate.

Felling is the process of cutting down a tree. Make
sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide
your weight evenly on both feet. Follow directions
below to fell a tree.
Before Felling a Tree
1. Before felling, inspect tree. Make sure there are
no dead limbs or branches that may fall on you.
Study natural lean of tree, location of larger
branches, and wind direction. This will help you
judge which way tree will fall.
2. Clear work area around tree.
3. Plan and clear a retreat path before felling. Make
retreat path opposite to planned direction of fall
of tree and at 45° angle (see Figure 13).
WARNING:
Avoid kickback. Kickback can result in se
-
vere injury or death. See Kickback, pages
4 and 5, to avoid risk of kickback.
Do not fell a tree without ample skill or
expert help.
Keep children, animals, and bystanders
away from area when felling a tree.
If two or more persons perform buck
-
ing and felling operations at the same
time, provide ample distance between
operations. Provide distance of at least
twice the height of tree being felled.
WARNING: When felling a tree, be
aware of your surroundings. Do not
endanger any person, strike utility lines,
or cause property damage. If tree strikes
utility lines, contact utility company at
once.

WARNING: When cutting limb that
is under tension, use extreme caution.
Be alert for wood springing back. When
wood tension is released, limb could
spring back and strike operator causing
severe injury or death.
Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree.
Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart.
Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Do not
remove larger limbs under tree that support log off
ground. Remove each limb with one cut (see Figure
15). Clear cut limbs from work area often. This will
help maintain a safe work area.
Make sure you start your cut where limb will not
pinch saw during cutting. To avoid pinching, start cut
on freely hanging limbs from above limb. Start cut on
limbs under tension from under limb. If pinch occurs,
turn saw off, lift limb, and remove saw.
LIMBING A TREE
WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kickback
can result in severe injury or death. See
Kickback, pages 4 and 5, to avoid risk
of kickback.
WARNING: Be alert for falling over-
head limbs. Watch your footing while
exiting area.
3. As felling cut nears hinge, tree should begin to fall.
Note: If needed, drive wedges into felling cut to
control direction of fall. If tree settles back and

4. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and
wire from tree where you will make felling cuts.
5. Stay on uphill side when felling tree. Tree could
roll or slide downhill after falling.
Felling Procedure
A) Felling Notch
A properly placed felling notch will determine direc-
tion tree will fall. Place felling notch on side of tree in
direction you want tree to fall (see Figure 14). Follow
directions below to create a felling notch.
1. Make lower notch cut as close to ground as pos
-
sible. Hold saw so guide bar is horizontal. Cut
1/3 the diameter of tree trunk (see Figure 14).
Note: Always make this horizontal lower notch
cut first. If you make this cut second, tree can
pinch chain or guide bar.
2. Start upper notch cut the same distance above
first cut as first cut is deep.
Example: If lower notch cut is eight inches deep,
start upper notch cut eight inches above it. Cut
downward at 45° angle. The upper notch cut should
meet end of lower notch cut (see Figure 14).
3.
Remove tree trunk wedge created by notching cuts.
B) Felling Cut
1. Make felling cut two inches higher than lower
notch cut and on opposite side of tree (see Figure
14). Keep felling cut parallel to lower notch cut.
2. Cut towards notch.
WARNING: Do not cut all the way
through tree. Leave about two inches
of tree diameter uncut directly behind
felling notch (see Figure 14). This uncut
portion acts as a hinge. The hinge helps
keep tree from twisting and falling in
wrong direction.

BUCKING A LOG
WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kickback
can result in severe injury or death. See
Kickback, pages 4 and 5, to avoid risk
of kickback.
WARNING:
If on slope, make sure log will not roll
down hill. Secure log by using wooden
stakes. Drive wooden stakes into
ground on downhill side of log. Stand
on uphill side of log while cutting. Log
may roll after cutting.
Never try cutting through two logs at
same time. This could increase the risk
of kickback.
While cutting log, never hold log with
your hand, leg, or foot.
While cutting log, never allow another
person to hold log.
Turn off and unplug saw before moving
from one place to another.
Bucking a log is cutting a log into sections. Make
sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your
weight evenly on both feet. When possible, raise log
or section off ground. Do this by using limbs, logs,
chocks, etc.
When cutting through log, maintain control by reduc
-
ing cutting pressure near end of cut. Do not relax your
grip on chain saw handles. Do not let moving chain
touch ground. Ground will dull moving chain. After
cutting through log, release trigger to turn saw off
before moving saw.
Follow directions below to buck a log.

Kickback, pages 4 and 5, to avoid risk
of kickback.
Log Supported On One End
1. Make first cut on underside of log (see Figure
17). Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut
1/3 through diameter of log. This cut will keep
section from splintering when cut.
2. Make second cut directly above first cut. Cut
down to meet first cut. This cut will keep log
from pinching guide bar and chain.
Log Supported On Both Ends
1. Make first cut from above log (see Figure 18).
Cut 1/3 through diameter of log. This cut will
keep section from splintering when cut.
2. Make second cut on underside of log, directly
under first cut. Use top of guide bar to make this
cut. Cut up to meet first cut. This will keep log
from pinching guide bar and chain.

CARE OF GUIDE BAR
Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems.
Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter and depth gauge
settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly,
it widens guide bar groove (see Figure 20). This
causes chain clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not
cut straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.
Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain. A worn or
damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged guide
bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting harder.
CLEANING SAW BODY
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
NOTICE: Below are instructions for ser-
vicing your chain saw. Any servicing not
mentioned below should be done by an
authorized service center.
WARNING: Unplug chain saw from
power source before servicing. Severe injury
or death could occur from electrical shock
or body contact with moving chain.
WARNING: Cutting edges on chain
are sharp. Use protective gloves when
handling chain.
WARNING: When cleaning saw body,
do not submerge saw in any liquids
do not use products that contain am
-
monia, chlorine, or abrasives
do not use chlorinated cleaning sol
-
vents, carbon tetrachloride, kerosene,
or gasoline
Keep saw body clean. Use a soft cloth dampened with a
mild soap and water mixture. Wipe saw body to clean.
Normal Guide Bar Maintenance
1. Remove guide bar from chain saw.
2. Remove sawdust from guide bar groove periodi
-
cally. Use putty knife or wire (see Figure 21).
3. Clean oil slots after each day of use.
4. Remove burrs from sides of guide bar. Use flat
file to make side edges square.
Replace guide bar when
bar is bent or cracked
inside groove of bar is badly worn
Note: When replacing guide bar, see Replacement
Parts and Accessories, page 17, for proper bar.
WARNING: Unplug chain saw from
power source before servicing. Severe injury
or death could occur from electrical shock
or body contact with moving chain.
WARNING: Cutting edges on chain
are sharp. Use protective gloves when
handling chain.
SHARPENING SAW CHAIN
Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more
safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, guide
bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain
into wood and cutting creates only sawdust with few
large chips, chain is dull.

4. Hold file guide level. Make sure 30° mark on
file guide is parallel to center of guide bar (see
Figure 22). This will insure that you file cutters
at 30° angle.
5. File from inside towards outside of cutter until
sharp. Only file in this one direction (see Figure
22). Note: Two or three strokes with file should
sharpen cutter.
6. After each cutter is sharpened, move chain for
-
ward to sharpen next cutter. File all cutters on
one side of chain.
7. Move to other side of chain and repeat process.
Filing Cutter Depth Gauges
The cutter depth gauge clearance is reduced as cutters
are sharpened. After every second or third sharpen
-
ing, reset cutter depth gauges.
1. Place depth gauge tool (.025") firmly across top
of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge enters slot
in depth gauge tool (see Figure 24).
2. Use medium flat file. File depth gauge level with
depth gauge tool.
3. Remove depth gauge tool. With flat file, round
off front corner of cutter depth gauge (see Figure
25).
After several hand filings, have authorized service
center or sharpening service machine sharpen chain.
This will insure even filing.
REPLACING SAW CHAIN
Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or
when chain breaks. Only use replacement chain noted in
this manual. Always include new drive sprocket when
replacing chain. This will maintain proper driving of
chain. Note: For proper chain and drive sprocket, see
Replacement Parts and Accessories
, page 17.
