SAVE T HESE INSTRUCTIONS
General safety precautions for chain saw users
1. Fatigue causes carelessness. Be more
cautious before rest periods and towards
the end of your shift.
2. Personal protective clothing required by
your safety organizations, government
regulations, or your employer should be
used. At all times when using a chain saw,
snug-fitting clothing, protective eyewear,
safety footwear, and hand, leg, and hearing
protection should be worn.
NOTE." personal protective clothing should
meet the requirements of applicable
standards.
3. When felling, keep at least 2 tree lengths
away from your fellow workers.
4. Plan your work, ensuring an obstacle-free
work area and, in the case of felling, at
least one escape path from the falling tree.
5. Follow the instructions in your operator's
manual for starting the chain saw and
control the chain saw with a firm grip on
both handles when it is in operation. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free of oil.
6. When transporting your chain saw, use the
appropriate transportation covers, which
should be available for the guide bar and
saw chain.
7. Do not attempt a pruning or limbing
operation in a standing tree unless
specifically trained to do so.
8. Guard against kickback. Kickback is the
upward motion of the guide bar that occurs
when the saw chain, at the nose of the
guide bar, contacts an object. Kickback can
lead to dangerous loss of control of the
chain saw.
9. A chain saw is intended for two-handed
use. Serious injury to the operator, helpers,
and/or bystanders can result from one-
handed operation.
10.See symbol definitions.
11. Keep other persons or animals a safe
distance away from a running chain saw or
the area where a tree is being felled.
12.Use extreme caution when cutting small
brush and saplings because slender
material can catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward you.
13.When cutting a limb that is under tension
or compression, be alert for springback.

by CSA as a Class 2C saw. It is intended
for infrequent use by homeowners,
