3 READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ■ Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any combination of these persons may result from one-handed operation.
4 KICKBACK See Figures 1 and 2. ■ 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.
5 IMPORT ANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PULL PUSH Fig. 3 ■ Push and Pull - This reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is moving where wood contact is made. Thus, the operator must be ready to control the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar, and PUSH when cutting along the top edge.
