CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
placement bars and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
 Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
 Do not start cutting until you have a clear work
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path
from the falling tree. Cluttered areas invite ac-
cidents.
 K eep ALL children, bystanders, visitors, and
animals out of the work area while starting or
cutting with the chain saw. Do not let visitors
contact chain saw or extension cord.
 D o not operate chain saw in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flamma-
ble liquids, gases, or dust. Chain saws create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
 D ress Properly - Wear snug fitting clothing.
Always wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves,
overalls, jeans or chaps made of cut resistant
material or ones that contain cut resistant
inserts. Wear non-slip safety footwear. Wear
non-slip heavy duty gloves to improve your
grip and to protect your hands. Do not wear
jewelry, short pants, sandals, or go barefoot.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, which could
be drawn into the motor or catch the chain or
underbrush. Secure hair so it is above shoulder
level. Wear hearing and head protection.
 Heavy protective clothing may increase oper-
ator fatigue, which could lead to heat stroke.
During weather that is hot and humid, heavy
work should be scheduled for early morning
or late afternoon hours when temperatures are
cooler.
 Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 as well as
head and hearing protection when operating
this equipment.
 Always be aware of what you are doing when
using the chain saw. Use common sense. Do
not operate the chain saw when you are tired,
ill, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or
medication.
 Do not expose the chain saw to rain.
 Do not use the chain saw in damp or wet loca-
tions.
 Stay alert and pay attention to what you are
doing. Use common sense when using this unit.
 Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
chain when the unit is running.
 Never let anyone use your chain saw who has
not received adequate instructions in its proper
use. This applies to rentals as well as privately
owned saws.
 Before you start the unit, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting any object.
 S top the chain saw before setting it down.
 To avoid accidental starting, never carry the
unit with your finger on the switch trigger.
 Maintain the unit with care. Keep the cutting
edge sharp and clean for best performance and
to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
 Do not operate a chain saw with one hand!
Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers en-
circling the chain saw handles. Serious injury
to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any
combination of these persons may result from
one-handed operation. A chain saw is intended
for two-handed use.
 Guard against electric shock - Avoid body
contact with grounded surfaces such as metal
pipes and wire fences. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
 Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Chain should slow to a
stop when the switch trigger is released. If the
chain continues to turn after the switch trigger
has been released, have the unit serviced by
an authorized service center.
 Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, mounting, and any other condi-
tions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in
this manual.
 All chain saw service, other than the items list-
ed in the operation and maintenance sections,
should be performed by an authorized service
center.
