CHAIN SAW
SAFETY WARNINGS
• Keep all parts of the body away from
the saw chain when the chain saw is
operating. Before you start the chain
saw, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chain saws may
cause entanglement of your clothing or body
with the saw chain.
• Always hold the chain saw with your
right hand on the rear handle and your
left hand on the front handle (Fig. 2).
Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal
injury and should never be done.
FIG. 2
• Wear safety glasses and hearing
protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs and
feet is recommended. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw
chain.
AD 0213 - F/N 551309
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.
Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree
may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and
operate the chain saw only when
standing on a fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may
cause a loss of balance or control of the chain
saw.
• When cutting a limb that is under
tension, be alert for spring back. When
the tension in the wood fibres is released the
spring loaded limb may strike the operator
and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting
brush and saplings. The slender material
may catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the chain saw by the front handle
with the chain saw switched off and
away from your body. When
transporting or storing the chain saw
always fit the guide bar cover (Fig. 3).
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with the
moving saw chain.
