Both devices reduce the possibility of rota-  
tional kickback which can occur when the  
tip of the bar contacts a solid object. DO  
NOT assume that kickback will not happen  
because of these devices. Contact of the  
guide bar tip with any object should be  
avoided.

oil sight level hole located on the front left  
side of the chain saw.  
4. Wipe off excess oil.  
A properly installed Front Hand Guard can  
help reduce injuries from kickback. Install  
by following the assembly instructions in  
this manual. DO NOT remove or replace it  
with a substitute.  
Note: When cutting in temperatures below  
30°F, use SAE #10 oil. In temperatures

Kickback occurs when a chain cutter going  
around the upper quadrant of the guide bar  
nose is suddenly stopped (See Figure 5).  
This can happen when the cutter contacts a  
solid object or is pinched. The result is a  
sudden reverse action which kicks the saw

Use an extension cord heavy enough to  
carry the current your saw will draw. An  
undersized cord will cause a voltage drop at  
the saw, loss of power and overheating.  
Kickback may also occur when a chain  
cutter is pinched along the length of the bar.  
The result is a sudden linear reverse action  
which kicks the saw straight back at the

ELECTRIC CHAIN SAW  
CUTTING WITH THE CHAIN  
SAW  
OPERATING  
INSTRUCTIONS  
Cutting with your electric chain saw can be  
made easier and safer if you will follow  
these simplified instructions. Before trying  
to cut with the chain saw be sure to:  
Continued  
Examples of Kickback  
With the saw in operation, kickback occurs  
when:  
1. Read all the safety precautions on the  
front cover.  
Figure 9 - Operate With Both Hands  
• The chain at the guide bar nose  
touches any solid object.  
7. When ready to make a cut, push in the  
lockout button and squeeze the trigger  
switch. Start the chain saw above the  
log. Always bring the saw up to speed  
before letting the chain touch the wood.  
2. Support the log to be cut off the ground  
so the saw chain does not touch the  
ground as it cuts through the wood.  
• Incorrectly starting a boring cut.  
• A cutter on guide bar nose strikes the  
bottom of the saw cut while the guide  
bar is being reinserted in the cut (See  
Figure 6).  
3. Keep the nose of the guide bar from  
contacting a log, branch, the ground or  
any other obstruction.  
8. When starting a cut, be alert to possible  
bouncing or skating (sideward  
movement) of the saw.  
• The chain is pinched in the cut.  
4. DO NOT overreach.  
5. Stand with your weight evenly  
distributed on both feet and slightly to  
the left side of the saw. This keeps your  
body from being in a direct line with  
the cutting chain (see figure 7).  
9. Place the saw against the wood and  
guide it using a light pressure.  
10. DO NOT FORCE THE SAW SO  
THAT THE CHAIN SPEED IS  
GREATLY REDUCED. THIS WILL  
OVERLOAD THE MOTOR AND  
CAN CAUSE MOTOR BURN OUT.  
11. Stop the saw by releasing the trigger  
switch. Make sure the chain has come  
to a complete stop before setting the  
saw down.  
Figure 6 - Examples of Kickback  
To Help Reduce the Chance of  
Kickback  
12. If you have never used a chain saw  
before, in addition to reading and  
understanding the operating instructions,  
you should seek informed practical  
instruction from your chain saw dealer  
or other knowledgeable individuals. As  
a minimum, you should practice cutting  
logs on a sawhorse or cradle until you  
are able to maintain a steady even cutting  
rate before attempting to cut limbs from  
a tree.  
1. Hold the chain saw firmly with both  
hands with thumbs and fingers  
encircling the handles.  
2. Always be attentive to what you are  
doing, be alert for shifting of the log or  
other conditions which will cause a pinch.  
3. Always know where the nose of the  
guide bar is. DO NOT let the guide bar  
nose contact any object (See Figure 6).  
Figure 7 - The Correct Stance  
4. Never use a dull or loose chain.Always  
use a correctly sharpened, properly  
tensioned chain.  
TRIMMING A TREE  
5. Use your saw within its capacity. DO  
WARNING:DONOTOPERATE  
your chain saw while IN A TREE,  
ON A LADDER, ON ANY OTHER  
UNSTABLE SURFACE or IN ANY  
AWKWARD POSITION which  
might cause you to loose control  
of the chain saw. DO NOT cut  
limbs higher than your shoulder.  
NOT bury the nose (See Figure 6).  
6. MAINTAIN SAFETY SYSTEM.  
Normal Wear On Saw and its  
Effects On Kickback Safety  
Figure 8 - Do Not Operate With One Hand  
Follow the maintenance instructions in this  
manual on cleaning the saw, proper storage,  
chain and guide bar maintenance. Regular  
inspection and a good maintenance pro-  
gram will increase the service life of your  
saw. Even with proper sharpening, kick-  
back potential can increase with each filing.  
6. DO NOT OPERATE WITH ONE  
HAND (See Figure 8). Use a firm grip  
with thumbs and fingers encircling both  
handles as shown in Figure 9.  
Note: When conditions are encountered  
whicharebeyondyourexperienceorcapac-  
ity seek professional help.

OWNER’S MANUAL  
1. The chain saw operator should keep on 4. As the felling cut gets close to the hinge,  
Cutting a Limb  
the uphill side of the terrain as the tree  
is likely to roll or slide downhill after  
it is felled.  
the tree should begin to fall. If there is  
any chance that the tree may not fall in  
the desired direction or it may rock back  
and bind the saw chain, stop cutting  
before the felling back cut is complete  
and use wedges of wood, plastic or  
aluminum to open the cut and drop the  
tree along the desired line of fall.  
1. Makethefirstcutfromtheundersideabout  
1/2 foot from the trunk and 1/3 through  
the diameter of the limb (See Figure 10).  
2. CONSIDER the natural lean of the tree,  
the location of larger branches and the  
wind direction to judge which way the  
tree will fall.  
2. Make the second cut two to four inches  
farther out on the limb from above until  
the limb falls.  
3. Make the third cut 1/3 the diameter of  
the limb stub from underneath as close  
to the trunk as possible.  
3. A RETREAT PATH should be planned  
and cleared as necessary before cuts are  
started. The retreat path should extend  
back and diagonally to the rear of the  
expected line of fall as illustrated in  
Figure 11.  
5. When the tree begins to fall remove the  
chain saw from the cut, stop the motor,  
put the chain saw down, then use the  
retreat path planned. Be alert for overhead  
limbs falling and watch our footing.

Remove the small limbs in one cut as illus-  
trated in Figure 13. Branches under tension  
should be cut from the bottom up to avoid  
binding the chain saw.  
WARNING: Felling a tree  
should not be undertaken unless  
the person has extensive experi-  
ence or obtains professional as-  
sistance.  
FELLING TECHNIQUES  
1. Make the first lower notching cut 1/3  
the diameter of the tree and  
perpendicular to the line of fall. This  
will help to avoid pinching of either the  
saw chain or the guide bar when the  
second notching cut is made (See  
Figure 12).  
CAUTION: When bucking and  
felling operations are being per-  
formed by two or more persons  
at the same time, the felling op-  
erationshouldbeseparatedfrom  
the bucking operation by a dis-  
tance of at least twice the height  
of the tree being felled. Trees  
should not be felled in a manner  
that would endanger any person,  
strikeanyutilitylineorcauseany  
property damage. If the tree does  
makecontactwithanyutilityline,  
theutilitycompanyshouldbeno-  
tified immediately.  
Keepworkoffground.Leavesup-  
port limbs until log is cut.  
2. Make the second upper notching cut at  
an angle to meet the first notching cut  
at 1/3 the diameter of the tree.  
3. Make the felling back cut at least 2  
inches higher than the horizontal  
notching cut as illustrated in Figure 12.  
Keep the felling back cut parallel to the  
horizontal notching cut. Make the  
felling back cut so enough wood is left  
to act as a hinge. The hinge wood keeps  
the tree from twisting and falling in the  
wrong direction. DO NOT cut through  
the hinge.

BUCKING A LOG  
Bucking a log is cutting a log into lengths. It  
is important to make sure your footing is  
firm and your weight is evenly distributed  
on both feet. When possible, the log should  
be raised and supported by the use of limbs,  
logsorchocks. Followthesimpledirections  
for easy cutting.

2nd Cut  
1st Cut  
Figure 16 - Log Supported On Both End  
Figure 15 - Log Supported One End  
When bucking on a slope always stand on  
the uphill side of the log, because the log  
may roll after cut. When “cutting through,”  
to maintain complete control, reduce the  
cutting pressure near the end of the cut  
without relaxing your grip on the chain saw  
handles. Don’t let the chain contact the  
ground. After completing the cut, wait for  
the chain saw to stop before you move the  
chain saw. Always stop the motor before  
moving from tree to tree.

HAND SHARPENING  
PROCEDURE  
1. Disconnect the saw from the power  
source. Wear gloves when handling the  
chain.  
5. File from inside toward the outside of  
the cutter in one direction only. Use a  
light stroke, only one or two strokes are  
MAINTENANCE  
AND STORAGE  
needed. File all cutters the same.  
CLEANING THE CHAIN SAW  
6. Move to the other side of the guide bar  
and file all cutters on the second side.  
Care should be taken to never file into  
the bottom of the top plate or it will  
become dull faster.  
2. Properly tension the saw chain.  
To clean housing of dirt and oil, wipe with a  
damp cloth using a solution of warm water  
and a mild detergent. DO NOT use products  
that contain ammonia, chlorine or abrasives,  
DO NOT use chlorinated cleaning solvents,  
carbon tetrachloride, kerosene or gasoline.  
DO NOT submerge saw in any liquids.  
3. Position the cutter that is to be filed in  
the center of the guide bar. Move the  
chain after each cutter is finished.  
4. Place the round file and guide on the  
cutter so it rests on the top plate and  
the depth gauge. Hold the file level and  
with the guide marks parallel to the  
guide bar.  
CARE OF THE GUIDE BAR  
Most guide bar problems are caused by  
uneven bar wear. Incorrect filing of cutter  
and depth gauge settings are the primary  
cause of uneven bar wear. When the bar  
wears unevenly it widens the bar slot and  
causes chain clatter, rivet popping and diffi-  
culty in making a straight cut.
