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.
Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should
never be done.
NOTE For chain saws designed with the guide bar on the left side, the reference to "right hand" and "left
hand" positioning is reversed.
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.
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 fixed, secure and
level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders 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 brushes 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. Proper handling of the chain
saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of
control. Cut woods only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For 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.
Hold the power toot by insulated gripping surface only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord, saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in
and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards
the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the
operator.
