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

2 picking up or holding the appliance.
