SPECIAL SAFETY SECTION
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK
Kickbackisa dangerous reactionthat can/eadtosedous
injury. Do not rely only on the safety devices provided
with your saw. As a chain saw user, you must follow
special safetyinstructlonsto helpkeep yourcuttingjobs
free from accident or injury.
_IL KICKBACK WARNING
Kickback can occur when the moving chain contacts
an objectat the upperportion ofthetip ofthe guide bar
orwhen the wood closes inand pinchesthe sawchain
in the cut. Contactattheupperportionofthetipofthe
guidebarcan cause the chainto dig intothe object and
stop the chain for an instanL The result is a lightning
fast, reverse reaction which Idckstheguide barupand
back toward the operator, ff the saw chain is pinched
along the top of the guide bar_the guide bar can be
driven rapldiyback towardthe operator.Either oTthese
reactions can cause loss of saw control which can
result in serious personal injury. ................

REDUCE THE CHANCE OF
KICKBACK
1. Recognize that kickback can happen. With a
basicunderstanding of kickback, you can reduce
the element of surprise which contributes to
accidents.
2. Neverletthemovingchaincontact any objectatthe
tip of the guide bar. Figure1.
3. Keep the working area free from obstructions
such as other trees, branches, rocks, fences,
stumps, etc. Figure 2. Eliminate or avoid any
obstructionthat your saw chain couldhit while you
are cutting through aparticula_ log or branch.
4. Keep your saw chain sharp and properly ten-
sioned. Followmanufacturer_chainsharpeningand
maintenanceinstru_ons. Check tensionat regular
intervalsw_ththeengines_opped,neverwiththeengine
running. Make sure the bar clampnutsare securely
tightenedafter tensioningthe chain. A looseor-dull
chaincanincrease the chanceofkickbackto occur.
5. Begin and continue cutting at full throttle. If the
chain is movingat aslower speed, there is greater
chance for kickback to occur,
6. Cut only one log at a time.
7. Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous
cut.
8. Do not attempt plunge cuts.
g. Watch for shifting logs or other forces that could
.....close a cut and pinch or fall into the chain.
10. Use the Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar and Low-
Kickback Chain specified for .yoursaw.

MAINTAIN CONTROL
1. Keepagoodfirm grip on the saw with both hands
when the engine is running and don't let go.
Figure 3. Afirm grip can neutralize kickback and
help you maintain control of the saw. Keep the
fingers of your left hand encircling and your left
thumb under the front handlebar, Keep your right
hand completely around the rear handle whether
you are righthanded or left handed. Keepyour left
arm straight with the elbow locked.
2. Positionyourlefthandonthefronthandlebarsoit

reverseright and left hand positionsduringany type
ofcutting.
3. Stand with your weight evenly balanced on
both fe_.I.
4. Stand slightly to the left side of the saw, to keep
your body from being in a direct line with the
•Cutting chain. Figure 3.
5. Do not overreach. Youcould be drawn or thrown
off balance and/ose control of the saw.
6. Do not cut above shoulder height. It is difficultto
maintain control of the saw above shoulder height.

AVOID REACTIVE FORCES
Pin0h-Kickback and Pu!!-in occur when the chain is
suddenly stopped by being pinched, caught, or by
contacting a foreign object in the wood. Thisresultsin a
reversalofthe chainforceusedtocutwoodandcausesthesaw
to move in the oppositedirectionof chain rotation.Pinch-
Kickback drives the saw straight back towardthe operator.
Pull-inpullsthe sawaway from the operator. Either reaction
can resultinlossofcontrolandpossiblesedouspersonalinjury.
TO avoid Pinch-Kickback:
1. Be extremely aware of situations or obstructions
that <:ancause matedal to pinch the top of or other-
wise stop the chain.
2. Do not cut more than one log at a time.
3. DO not twist the saw as the bar is withdrawnfrom an
under-cut when bucking.
To avoid Pull-in:
1. Always begin cuffing with the engine at full thmffie
and the saw frame against the wood,
2. Use wedgesmade of plastic or wood, (neverof metal)
toholdthe cutopen.
HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION
I. Eliminate all soumes of sparks or flame in the areas
where fuel is mixed, poured, or stored, There should
be nosmoking, open flames, or workthat couldcause

THIS SAW IS 'FOR OCCASIONAL USE ONLY
NOTE: Exposure to vibrationsthrough prolonged useof
chain saws may produce Whitefinger disease
(Raynaud's phenomenon). This phenomenon
reduces the hand's ability to feel and regulate
temperature, produces numbness and burning
sensations andcan cause nerve and circulation
damage and tissue necrosis,
An anti-vibration system designed to reduce
enginevibrationis recommended for those using
chain saws ona regular orsustained basis and is
provided on this saw, An anti-vibration system
doesnotguaranteetheavoidanceofWhitefinger
disease, Continual and regular users must
monitor closely their use of chain saws and

I qt. or 71-36556 -- 1 gal.) or clean SAE 30W oil.
In freezing weather oil will thicken, making
it necessary to thin bar and chain oil with a
small amount of Diesel Fuel #1 or
Kerosene. Bar and chain oil must be free flow-
ing for the oil system to pump enoughoil for ad-
equate lubrication.
1. USE THE FOLLOWING:
30°F or above--Lubricant--undiluted.
•30°F- 0°F --95% Lubricant to
5% Diesel Fuel #1
or Kerosene.
Below OOF _90% Lubricant to
10% Diesel Fuel #1

2. HOW TO FILL THE OIL TANK
a. Turn saw on its side with oil cap up. Figure
13.
b. Loosen cap slowly; wait for pressure in the
tank to be released before removing the
cap.
c. Fill the oil tank.
d. Reptace the oil cap securely.
3. IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
a. Fill the oil tank each time you refill the fuel
tank to ensure there will be sufficient oil for
the chain whenever you start and run the
saw.
b. It is normal for a small amount of oil to ap-
pear under the saw after the engine stops
due to oft draining from the bar and chain,

A, BASIC CUTTING TECHNIQUE
1. IMPORTANT POINTS
a. Cut wood only, Donotcutmeta!,p[_t_cs, masonry,
nonwoodbuildingmaterials,etc.Donotuseyours_v
to pryorshove av_y limbs, rootsorotherobjects.
b. Stopthe sawif the chain strikes aforeignobject.
Inspect the saw and repak or replace parts as
necessary.
Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Evenasmall
amount of dirt wiltquickly dull achain and thus
increasethe possibilityof kickback.
............... _ KICKBA'_' WARN'iNG ''_
Kickback can oacur when the moving chain contacts
an objectatthe upper portion ofthetip of the guidebar
orwhen the wood closes in and pinches the sawchain
inthe cut. Contact at the upperportion of the tip of the
guide bar can cause the chain todig intothe object and
stop the ¢hair_for an ins_rd_ T._eresLdt_safighting
fast, reversereaction which Idcksthe guide bar upand
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 ofthese
reactions can cause loss of control whichcan resuitin
serious personal injur_.
2. UNDERSTAND RF..ACT|VEFORCES
Pinch-Kickback andPull-In occur when the chain
issuddenlystopped bybeing pinched, caught, or
by contacting a foreign object in the wood. This

B. TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES
1. PLAN YOUR SAWING OPERATION CARE-
FULLY IN ADVANCE
a. Clear the work area. Youneeda clear area all
around the tree where you can have secure
footing.
b. Study the natural conditions thatcan cause
the'tree to fall in a particular direction:
1.) The WIND direcfionandspeed.
2.) The LEANofthetree.
3.) WEtGHTED withBRANCHES ononeside.
•4.) ,_urroundingTREES andOBSTACLES.
c. Loolcfordecayandrot. Iftheteankisrotted,itcan
snapand fall towardtheoperator.
.d., Check for broken or dead branches which
couldfall on you whilecutting.
e. Make surethereis enough room for the tree
to fall. Maintain a distance of 2_/_ tree
lengths from the nearest person or other ob-
jects. Engine noise can drown out a warning
Call.
f. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,
staples, and wire from the tree where cuts
are to be made.
g. Plan to stand on the up-hill side when cut-
ting on a slope.
h. Plan a clear retreat path to the rear and

_during bad weather -- strong wind, snow, rain,
etc.
2. FELLING SMALL TREES -- LESS THAN 6"

a. If youknowthe directionof falh
1.) Make a sing{e felling cut on the side away
from the direction of fall.
2.) Cut _Jfthe waythrough.
3.) Stop the saw, put it down, and get away
quicklyon your planned retreat path.
b. tf you arc notsure which way the tree wil!fall,
use the notch method described for felling
large trees.
FELLING LARGE TREES-- 6" DIAMETER
OR MORE
The notch method is used to cut large trees. A
notch is cut on the side of the tree in the desired
directionof fall. After a felling cut is made onthe
opposite side of the tree, the tree will tendto fall
intothe notch.
NOTE: If the tree has large buttress roots, re-
move before making the notch. Cut into the but-
tresses vertically,then horizontally.Figure24.
a. Make the notchcut.Figure 25.
1:) Cut the bottom of the notch first, through
1/.3ofthe diameter of the tree.
2.) Complete the notch by making the slant
cut.
3.) I_emovethe notchofwood.
b. Makethefellingcutontheoppositesideofthe
notch about 2" higher than the bottom of the
notch.
DON'T PUT YOURSELF IN THESE POSITIONS
Check the lean,
Don'tcut on lean side. Check the balance.
Don't cuton weighted s_de.
c. Leave enough uncut Wood between the felling
cut and thenotchto form ahinge. Figure 26.
NOTE: The hinge helps to keep the tree from
twisting and falling inthe wrongdirection.
d, Use awedge if there is any chance that the
tree wiltnot fall inthe desireddirection.
NOTE: Beforethe felling cut is complete, drive
wedgestoopenup thecutwhennecessarytocon-
•trolthedirectionoffall. Usewoodorpfasticwedges
but never metal, to avoid kickback and chain
damage
e. Be alert for signs that the treeis ready to fall:
t,) cracking sounds
2.) wideningofthefellingcut
3.) movementintheupperbranches,
f. As the tree starts to fall, stop the saw; put it
down, and get away quickly on your planned
retreatpath.
g. Be extremelycautiouswithpartiallyfallen treesthat

C; "BUCKING
Bucking isthe term used for cutting a fallen
tree to the desired log size.
1. IMPORTANTPOINTS
a. Cut only one log at a time,
b. Cut shattered wood very carefully. Sharppieces
of wood could be flung towardthe operator.
c. Use a sawhorse to cut small 10gs.Never allow
•anotherperson to hold the log while cuttingand
never holdthe log with your leg or foot.
d° Give special attention to logs under strain to
prevent the saw from pinching. Make the first
cut on the pressure side to relieve the slress on
the log Figure 27.
Do not cut in an area where logs, limbs and
roots are tangled such as in a blown down
area, Drag the/ogs into aclear area beforecut-
_ingby puUingout exposed and cleared logsfirst.
f. Make the first bucking Cut 113 of the way
through the tog and finish with a 2/3 cut on
the opposite side. As the log is beingcut, it will
tend to bend. The Saw can become pinched or
hung In the log if you make the first cut deeper
than 1/3 of the diameter of the log.

--Overcutling - beginon the top sideof the log
with the bottom of the saw against the log;
exert lightpressuredownward.
Undercutting - begin on the undersideof the
fog withthe topof the saw againstthe log;exert
light pressure upward. During undercutting,
the saw will tend to push back at you. Be pre-
pared for thisreaction and holdthe saw firmly
to maintaincontrol.
A WARNING
If saw becomes pinched or hung in a log, don't try to
force it out. Youcan loose control of the sawresulting
in serious personal injury and/or damage to the saw.
Stop the saw,drive a wedge of plastic or wood intothe
cut until the saw can be removed easily. Figure 29.
Restart the saw and carefully reenter the cut, Toavoid
ldckbackand chain damage, do notusea metalwedge.
