OPERATION
PREPARING FOR CUTTING
PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES
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.
• Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the motor is running. The fingers should
encircle the handle and the thumb should be 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.
W A R N I N G
DO NOT operate the
switch trigger with your
left hand and hold the
front handle with your
right hand. Never allow
any part of your body
to be in the chain line
while operating a saw.
