GENERAL SAFETY RULES

transporting­ your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.

Never let anyone use your chain saw who has not received adequate instructions in its proper use. This applies to rentals as well as privately owned saws.

Before you start the unit, make sure the saw chain is not contacting any object.

Stop the chain saw before setting it down.

To avoid accidental starting, never carry the unit with your finger on the switch trigger.

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 of oil and grease.

Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. Serious injury to the opera- tor, helpers, bystanders, or any combination of these persons may result from one-handed operation. A chain saw is intended for two- handed use.

Guard against electric shock - Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as metal pipes and wire fences. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly 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 your nearest Homelite service dealer.

Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, break- age of parts, mounting, and any other condi- tions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service dealer unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this manual.

All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the operation and maintenance sections,

should be performed by your nearest Homelite service dealer.

Always maintain a proper stance.

Do not use chain saw if switch does not turn it on and off. Have defective switch replaced by authorized service center.

Do not adapt your powerhead to a bow guide or use it to power any attachments or devices not listed for the saw.

Disconnect chain saw from power supply when not in use, before servicing, and when making adjustments and changing attachments, such as saw chain and guard.

Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.

Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, rooftop, or scaffold; 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.

Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings, because small material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released.

Do not force the chain saw. The job can be performed better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

Always use the right product for your applica- tion. The chain saw should be used for cutting wood only. Never use the chain saw to cut plastic, masonry or non-wood building materi- als.

Do not use the chain saw for purposes not intended.

Store chain saw when not in use. Chain saw should be stored in a dry and high or locked area out of the reach of children. When storing chain saw place the scabbard on the bar and chain and store the chain saw in carrying case.
