Other Chainsaw Safety Rules
• 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 accidents.
• Keep ALL children, bystanders, visitors, and
animals out of the work area while starting or
cutting with the chainsaw.
• Dress Properly - Wear snug fitting clothing. Al-
ways 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.
• Heavy protective clothing may increase operator
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.
• Wear approved head protection suitable for your
application, such as an ANSI/CSA hard hat or
helmet for impact protection.
• Always be aware of what you are doing when
using the chainsaw. Use common sense. Do not
operate the chainsaw when you are tired, ill, or under
the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
chain when the unit is running.
• Before you start the unit, make sure the saw chain
is not contacting any object.
• Stop the chainsaw before setting it down. Make
sure the tool comes to a complete stop before lay-
ing it down.
• 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.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
• Do not operate a chainsaw with one hand! Use
a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the
chainsaw handles. Serious injury to the operator,
helpers, bystanders, or any combination of these
persons may result from one-handed operation. A
chainsaw is intended for two-handed use.
• Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged, im-
properly 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.
• Always maintain a proper stance.
• Do not adapt your powerhead to a bow guide or
use it to power any attachments or devices not
listed for the saw.
• Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.
• Do not operate a chainsaw on a ladder, rooftop, or
other unstable support; this is extremely dangerous.
NOTE: The size of the work area depends on the
job being performed as well as the size tree or work
piece involved. For example, felling a tree requires
a larger work area than making bucking cuts.
• Do not force the chainsaw. The job can be per-
formed better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
• Always use the right product for your application.
The chainsaw should be used for cutting wood only.
Never use the chainsaw to cut plastic, masonry or
non-wood building materials.
• Store chainsaw when not in use. Chainsaw should
be stored in a dry and high or locked area out of the
reach of children. When storing the chain saw place
the Guide Bar Cover on the bar and chain.
• Battery operated units do not have to be plugged
into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always
in operating condition. Be aware of possible haz-
ards even when unit is not operating.
• Never let anyone use your chainsaw who has
not received adequate instructions in its proper
use. This applies to rentals as well as privately
owned saws.
• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct others who may use this
product. If you loan someone this product, loan them
these instructions also.
• After each use, clean the machine with a soft dry
cloth. Remove any chips, dirt and debris in the
battery bay.
• If using with a lanyard, do not exceed maximum
capacity marked on the lanyard label. Always
determine the weight of the product, with all accesso-
ries, when selecting the appropriate lanyard system.
Exceeding maximum capacity may result in serious
injury.
• Use with energy absorbing lanyards or dynamic
climbing rope only. Other ropes, straps or chains
may break and cause failure. Do not use with lan-
yards at full tension.
• Do not hang tool from guide bar cover loops.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
•
To reduce the risk of injury, when
WARNING
working in dusty situations, wear
appropriate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

Some dust created by power sanding,
WARNING
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
