KICKBACK SAFETY
This saws chain is covered by a guard
however, kickback can still occur. The
following steps will reduce the risk of kickback
• Usebothhandstogripsawwhilesaw
is running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and
fingers must wrap around saw handles.
• Keepallsafetyitemsinplaceonsaw.
Make sure they work properly.
• Donotoverreach.
• Keepsolidfootingandbalanceatall
times.
• Standslightlytorightsideofsaw.This
keeps your body from being in direct line
with chain.

GENERAL BEHAVIOR
Use the JawSaw only with secure footing.
Hold the JawSaw at the right-hand side of
your body. (See Fig. S)
The chain must be running at full speed
before it makes contact with the wood. Use
the metal jaw teeth to secure the saw onto the
wood before starting to cut. (See Fig. T)
Do not operate the JawSaw with arms fully
extended or attempt to saw areas which are
difficult to reach, or on a ladder. (See Fig. U)
CUTTING WOOD UNDER TENSION (See
Fig. V)
WARNING: When cutting a limb
that is under tension, use extreme
caution. Be alert for wood springing
back. When wood tension is released,
the limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends,
start the cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the
diameter into the log and then finish the cut
(Z) from below, in order to avoid contact of
the JawSaw with the ground. When sawing
logs supported on only one end, start the cut
from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into
the log and finish the cut from above (Z) in
order to avoid log splitting or jamming of the
tool.
LIMBING A TREE (See Fig. W)
Limbing is removing the branches from a
fallen tree. When limbing leave larger lower
limbs to support the log off the ground.
Remove the small limbs in one cut as
illustrated. Branches under tension should be
cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the
JawSaw.
BUCKING A LOG (See Fig. X)
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is
important to make sure your footing is firm
and your weight is evenly distributed on both
feet. Follow the simple directions for easy
cutting.
WARNING:
• Ifonslope,makesurelogwillnotroll
down hill. Secure log by using wooden
stakes. Drive wooden stakes into ground
on downhill side of log. Stand on uphill
side of log while cutting. Log may roll
after cutting. (See Fig. Y)
• Nevertrycuttingthroughtwologsat
same time. This could increase the risk of
kickback.
• Whilecuttinglog,neverholdlogwith
your hand or leg.
• Whilecuttinglog,neverallowanother
person to hold log.
