SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Always be well rested and mentally alert before op- erating the chain saw.

Do not allow bystanders near the chain saw when starting or cutting.

Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area and secure footing.

Keep all parts of the body away from the chain saw during operation, including loose clothing and long hair.

Carry the chain saw with the tool de-energized and the bar and chain to the rear of your body.

Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, im- properly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Make sure the chain stops moving when the control trigger is released.

Keep the handle dry, clean and free of hydraulic fluid.

Do not use the chain saw near energized transmis- sion lines.

Turn off the power source or move the hydraulic control valve to neutral before setting the chain saw down.

Use a guide bar scabbard when transporting the chain saw.

Know the location of buried or covered utilities be- fore starting work.

To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all chain saw repair, maintenance and service must only be performed by authorized and properly trained personnel.

Make sure the chain breaker and rivet spinner are securely mounted on flat, clean work surfaces.

Check the mounting screws/bolts often.

Check all chain breaker and rivet spinner compo- nents regularly for wear and general condition.

Avoid contact with the saw bar rails as they can be- come very sharp during use.

Provide adequate lighting when operating the saw in a darkened area or at night.

Always keep critical tool markings, such as labels and warning stickers legible. Always replace stick- ers and decals that have become worn or damaged.

Be observant of hydraulic and water hoses that lay about the work area, especially in trenches where they can be hidden from view due to liquids that have accumulated within the space.

Keep all parts of the body away from the cleats that are attached to the saw, as these are sharp and can be a puncture hazard.

Improper handling, use, or maintenance can result in an oil leak or burst. Do not contact an oil leak as high pressure oil can cause injection into the body.

Never stand in the path of the discharge, as ejection of material from the work piece can cause personal injury.

Never use the saw in a potentially explosive atmo- sphere.

WARNING: Hydraulic fluid under pressure could cause skin injection injury. If you are injured by hydraulic fluid, get medical attention immedi- ately.
