Safety Instructions and Warnings for Chain Saws

• Keep Work Area Clean

Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree.

• Consider Work Area Environment

Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because the slender 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 expose chain saw to rain or snow. Do not use chain saw in damp or wet locations or while it is raining or snowing. Do not use chain saw in the presence of flammable liquids or gases or enclosed concentrations of dust. Cut only when visibility and light are sufficient to see clearly

•Keep Children, Bystanders, Visitors and Animals Away Do not let visitors contact chain saw. All visitors should be kept away from work area.

•Store Idle Chain Saw

When not in use, chain saws should be stored in a dry, and high or locked-up place - out of the reach of children. When storing saw, always remove battery and use a scabbard or carrying case.

•Don't Grasp the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the appliance.

•Don't Force Chain Saw

It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

• Use Right Tool

Cut wood only. Don't use chain saw for purpose not intended - for example - Don't use chain saw for cutting plastic, metal, masonry, non-wood building materials.

• Dress Properly

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents cover moving parts and should be avoided. Protective non-slip gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Always wear heavy, long pants or other protection for your legs.

• Use Safety Glasses

Also use safety footwear; snug fitting clothing; protective gloves; proper hearing, respiratory, and head protection.

• Carrying Saw

Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the saw stopped, finger off the switch, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear. Remove battery and secure latch when transporting saw.

• Maintain Chain Saw With Care

Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

• Disconnect Battery

Disconnect battery from chain saw when not in use, before servicing, when tensioning chain, and when changing accessories and attachments, such as saw chain.

• Stay Alert

Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate chain saw when you are tired, ill, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the motor is operating. Before you start the saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. When cutting through wood, remember the chain saw cuts quickly and will continue its downward or upward path. Stay out of its path.

• Check Damaged Parts

Before further use of the chain saw, any part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
