Cutting with the Saw
THINK SAFETY!
IMPORTANT!
Use full throttle while cutting! Forcing
the saw into the work reduces cutting
performance and also increases
operator fatigue!
Never operate with a loose
cutting chain!
Never operate the saw if
fastenings are loose or
missing!
Never operate the saw if any
component parts are dam-
aged, loose, or missing!
Use full-throttle while
cutting, and apply
only enough bar
pressure to maintain
engine speeds of
7000-8000 rpm.
Always wear gloves
when operating the
saw.
Clear a safe work area
before cutting.
Stop the saw before moving it
from the work area.
Always wear eye
protection such as a face
shield or goggles.
Wear close-fitting
clothing to protect your
legs and arms. Do not
wear clothing or jewelry
that could get caught in
machinery or brush.
Keep a proper footing—do
not overreach!
Wear appropriate
non-skid footwear.
OPERATION
Always wear hearing
protection (ear plugs or ear
muffs) to protect your
hearing
