Front Loop Handle and Rear Handle:

To avoid serious injury, ALWAYS

maintain a firm grip with one hand on

the Front Loop Handle and the other

hand on the Rear Handle, when the

Chain Saw is running.

Guide Bar: The Guide Bar supports

and guides the Saw Chain.

Saw Chain: The Saw Chain is a loop

of chain with cutting teeth that cut the

wood. It is driven by the Motor. When

replacing, use only ANSI-Certified

low-kickback saw chains.

engages the Saw Chain once the

engine is running.

Throttle Lockout: The Throttle

Lockout helps prevent unintentional

operation of the Throttle Trigger.

Chain Saw suddenly rotates up and

back towards you, your hand holding

against the Chain Brake Lever,

engaging the brake and stopping the

saw chain tension

The Chain Saw is fully assembled,

but may require a minor adjustment

to the Saw Chain tension. Before

using, check the Saw Chain tension.

note: New Saw Chains often need to

be tensioned several times during

first use. Check a new Saw Chain's

tension often when first using.

While wearing heavy duty gloves,

use your index finger and thumb to

carefully grab the Saw Chain in the

middle section under the Guide Bar.

Pull the Saw Chain away from the

Guide Bar. The Saw Chain should

snap back against the Guide Bar. The

Chain should fit snuggly in the groove

of the Chain Bar, yet you should still

be able to slide the chain along the

Chain Bar by hand. There should be

no sagging between the Guide Bar

and Saw Chain on the underside of

the Guide Bar.
