IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: WHEN USING AN ELECTRIC CHAIN SAW, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, AND INJURY TO PERSONS, INCLUDlNG THE FOLLOWING:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS (1)

-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. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless specifically trained to do so. 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. Don't expose chain saw to rain (3). Don’t use chain saw in damp or wet locations. Do not use chain saw in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

-Guard Against Electric Shock

Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: metal pipes, wire fences.

-Keep Children Away

Do not let visitors contact chain saw or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area (4).

-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, use a scabbard or carrying case.

-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, masonry non- wood building materials.

-Dress Properly

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can get caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

-Use Safety Glasses

Also use safety footwear; snug fitting clothing; protective gloves; hearing and head protection (5).

-Carrying Saw

Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the saw stopped, finger off the switch, the guide bar and saw chain, covered with the chain protection, to the rear.

-Maintain Chain Saw With Care

Inspect chain saw cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Keep cord clear of the chain and operator at all times. Never carry
