Additional Safety Precautions

NOTE:
These safety precautions are intended
primarily for consumers or occasional
users. When using this chain saw for
logging purposes, refer to: CFR Sec-
tion 1910. 226 (5); 2.5.1 of the Ameri-
can National Safety Standard; Require-
ments for Pulpwood Logging ANSI
03.1-1978; and any applicable state
safety codes.
Never operate this chain saw with
one hand! One-handed operation
could cause you to lose control,
causing serious injury to yourself or
others! A chain saw is intended for
two-handed use.
Wear safety footwear, snug-fitting
clothing, protective gloves, and eye,
hearing, and head-protection devices
while working with this chain saw.
Do not allow other persons to be
near the chain saw when start-
ing or running the chain saw. Keep
bystanders and animals out of the
work area.
Never allow young children or any
person unfamiliar with chain saws to
operate this saw!
Clear the work area before using the
saw. Never start cutting until you are
sure you have a secure footing and
have planned a retreat path from the
falling tree.
When felling, keep at least 2 tree
lengths away from your fellow
workers.
Before starting the saw engine, make
sure nothing is touching the saw
chain.

WARNING!
Keep all parts of your body away
from the saw chain whenever the
engine is running!
Stop the engine before carrying the
saw. Carry the saw with the engine
stopped, the guide bar and saw chain
pointing to the rear, and the engine muf-
fler away from your body.
Stop the engine before setting the
chain saw down.
Install the appropriate guide-bar chain
cover before transporting the saw.
Never operate this chain saw if you
are fatigued or if you are under the
influence of alcohol, drugs, or any
other substance that could affect
your ability or judgement.
Never operate a saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely
and securely assembled.
Do not use this saw if the saw chain
continues to move after the throttle
control trigger is released.
Use only Shindaiwa-recommended
parts when repairing or servicing this
saw.
Use extra care when cutting a limb that
is under tension! A limb under tension
could spring back suddenly, causing you
to lose control of the saw!
Use extreme caution when cutting
smaller brush and saplings! Small-
diameter material may catch in the
chain and be whipped toward you or
pull you off balance, causing you to
lose control of the saw!
Operate the saw only in a well venti-
lated area. Be aware of carbon mon-
oxide poisoning. Exhaust gases and
lubrication oil mist can cause serious
injury or death.
Keep the saw handles dry, clean and
free of oil or fuel mixture.
Never operate any saw while in a
tree unless you have been specifi-
cally trained to do so!
Never perform service or repairs to
this saw unless you are specifically
trained and equipped to do so!
Improper maintenance, use of non-
conforming replacement compo-
nents, or the removal of safety
devices, such as the chain brake or
any of the chain brake components,
could result in serious injury.
Never allow any part of your body
near the clutch cover of an operat-
ing saw.
Never operate a saw with damaged or
missing anti-vibration cushions. Long-
term exposure to vibration can damage
your hands, in particular vascular, bone
or joint, neurological or muscular disor-
ders. For lowest vibration, replace dam-
aged mounts immediately. Mounts hard-
ened due to age or weathering should
also be replaced.
Always maintain a firm footing while
operating this saw! Ladders and other
temporary platforms can shift unexpect-
edly, and are not recommended!
Do not operate this or any other chain
saw with the muffler removed.
All chain saw service, other than
items listed in the owner's mainte-
nance instructions, should be per-
formed by trained Shindaiwa chain
saw service personnel.
Prolonged exposure to excessive
noise is fatiguing and could lead to
impaired hearing. The use of proper
ear protection can reduce this poten-
tial hazard.
