1. The saw is specially designed for tree service, i.e. for
off-ground working in trees, and when being used as
such should only be used by trained operators. One
handed operation of the saw can be dangerous fig.1.
2. Be alert for the phenomena "skating" and "bouncing"and
the risk of kickback. Be cautious not to lose your
balance due to "drop" at the end of a cut.
3. If working off the ground the operator must be trained in
safe climbing techniques and use of all recommended
safety equipment such as harness, loops, strops, ropes
and karabiners for himself and for the saw.
4. When hoisting a chain saw using a rope tied to a lifting
hook for operation on a tree, ensure that the lifting hook
is not strained by excessive force fig.2.

4. FOR YOUR PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly

1. Always wear approved goggles to protect your eyes.
Wood chips, dust, snapping branches and other debris
can be tossed by the cutting chain into the operator's
facial area. Goggles may also offer limited protection
in the event of the cutting chain hitting the operator in
the eye area. If conditions warrant that a ventilated face
shield be worn, goggles must be worn underneath it.
2. ACTIVE recommends wearing hearing protection at all
times. If not followed, hearing loss can occur. You should
reduce the risk of hearing damage by wearing either
"headset" type protectors or ear plugs which are
approved by an authorized organization.
3. All persons who make part of their living using chain
saw should be tested periodically f or hearing
deterioration.
4. Always wear a cap or hat when working with a chain
saw. A safety hard hat is highly recommended when
felling or working under trees, or when objects can fall
on you.
5. Wear heavy duty, non-slip gloves for improved grip, and

also for protection against cold and vibration.
6. Safety tip shoes or boots with non-slip soles should be
worn.
7. Never wear loose clothing, unbuttoned jackets, flared
sleeves and cuffs, scarfs, tie-strings. neckties, cords,
chains, jewelry, etc. which could snag the saw chain
or undergrowth.
8. Clothing should be of sturdy, protective material. It should
be snug-fitting to resist snagging, but roomy enough
for freedom of movement.
