WARNING:
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have read all of the
instructions, safety information, etc. contained in this manual thoroughly
and understand them completely. Failure to comply may result in accidents
involving fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury.
• Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned
retreat path from the falling tree. Cluttered areas invite accidents.
• Keep all children, bystanders, visitors, and animals out of the work area while
starting or cutting with the chainsaw.
• Do not operate chainsaw in an explosive atmosphere, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust
or fumes.
• WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for outdoor use,
and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Polarized Plugs. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will only fit into a polarized outlet one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire
gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50' (15 m)
or less in length. A cord exceeding 100' (30 m) is not recommended. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
• Inspect extension cords periodically, and if damaged, have repaired by a licensed
electrician. Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock or fire.
• Wear snug fitting clothing. Always wear heavy, long pants, overalls, jeans or chaps
made of cut-resistant material or ones that contain cut-resistant inserts. Wear
non-slip safety footwear. Wear non-slip heavy duty gloves to improve your grip and to
protect your hands. Do not wear jewellery, short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. Do
not wear loose-fitting clothing that could be drawn into the motor or catch the chain or
underbrush. Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
• 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.
• Wear eye protection that is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 as well as hearing and
head protection when operating this equipment. Hearing protection should be worn.
• Always be aware of what you are doing when using the chainsaw. Use common
sense. Do not operate the chainsaw when you are tired, ill, or under the influence of
alcohol, drugs, or medication.
• Do not expose the chainsaw to rain.
• Do not use the chainsaw in damp or wet locations.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• Stay alert and pay attention to what you are doing.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the unit is running.
• Always carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the battery removed and the
guide bar and saw chain positioned to the rear.
• Never let anyone use your chainsaw who has not received adequate instructions in
its proper use. This applies to rentals as well as privately owned saws.
• Before you start the unit, make sure the saw chain is not contacting any object.
• Stop the chain saw before setting it down.
• To avoid accidental starting, never carry the unit with your finger on the trigger
switch .
• Maintain the unit with care. Keep the cutting edge sharp and clean for best
performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and grease.
• Do not operate a chainsaw with one hand! Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chainsaw handles. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders,
or any combination of these persons may result from one-handed operation. A
chainsaw is intended for two-handed use.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as metal pipes and wire fences.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely
and securely assembled. Chain should slow to a stop when the trigger switch is
released. If the chain continues to turn after the trigger switch has been released,
have the unit serviced by your nearest YARDWORKS® service dealer.
• Check for damaged parts, misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts
and mountings, and any other condition that may affect the operation of the tool.
• All chainsaw service, other than the items listed in the operation and maintenance
sections, should be performed by your nearest YARDWORKS® service dealer.
• Always maintain a proper stance.
• Do not use chainsaw if switch does not turn it on and off. Have defective switch
replaced by authorized service centre.
• Do not adapt your chainsaw to a bow guide or use it to power any attachments or
devices not listed for the saw.
• Disconnect chainsaw from power supply when not in use, before servicing, and
when making adjustments and changing attachments, such as saw chain and guard.
• Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.
• Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree, on a ladder, or on scaffolding. Doing so is
extremely dangerous.
NOTE: The size of the work area depends on the job being performed as well as the
size of the tree or workpiece involved. For example, felling a tree requires a larger
work area than making bucking cuts.
• Use extreme caution when cutting small brush and saplings, because small material
may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back, so that you will
not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released.
• Do not force the chainsaw. The job can be performed better if the saw is used at the
rate that it was designed to work at.
• Always use the right product for your application. The chainsaw should be used for
cutting wood only. Never use the chainsaw to cut plastic, masonry or non-wooden
building materials.
• Do not use the chainsaw for purposes other than what it is intended for.
• Store chainsaw when not in use. Chainsaw should be stored in a dry and high or
locked area, out of the reach of children.
• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently, and use them to instruct others
who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions
also.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construc-
tion activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals 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 dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• The following precautions should be followed to minimize kickback:
1. Always grip the saw firmly with both hands. Hold the saw firmly with both hands
when the unit 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 and a stiff left arm will help you maintain control of the saw if kickback
occurs.
2. Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free of 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.
3. Always cut with the unit running. Fully squeeze the trigger switch and maintain
cutting speed.
4. Use only the replacement guide bars and low-kickback chains specified by the
manufacturer for the saw.
• With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of
surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Do not cut above shoulder height or overreach when cutting.
• Follow the sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
WARNING:
Kickback may occur 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 that 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 reactions can cause loss of saw
control, which can result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively on the safety
devices built into the saw. As a chainsaw user, you should take several steps to
keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• Push and Pull - This reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is
moving where contact is made with the wood. 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. (See Figure 3.)
