15. Chain saw security warnings
1.
The chain saw is operating, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the chain saw.
2.
Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the chain saw the other way round increases the risk of injury and may not be used.
3.
Hold your electric power tool only by the insulated grip surfaces because the saw chain may contact
hidden electrical wires. Saw chains which touch a live wire make metallic parts of an electric power tool
live and could give the user an electric shock.
4.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs and
feet is recommended. Suitable protective clothing helps reduce the risk of injury from thrown wood
chips and accidental contact with the saw chain.
5.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. There is an increased risk of injury when working in a tree.
6.
Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on a fixed, secure and level
surface. A slippery surface or instable support such as a ladder could cause the operator to lose con-
trol of the chain saw.
7.
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.
8.
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.
9.
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 scabbard. Proper handling of the chain
saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of
control.
12. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. Example: do not use chain saw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different
than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
