BSAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1All operators should read this manual carefully before using this chainsaw.

Wear suitable clothing. This should include snugly-fitting (safety) clothing, sturdy boots, heavy duty gloves, goggles or a face screen and ear plugs or ear mufflers. Wear a helmet if there is risk of falling objects or projections from trees.

2Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands when the engine is running. Always maintain a firm foothold. Ensure you are able to stop the engine quickly if necessary. Do not work up a tree unless you have received suitable training and have the appropriate equipment (belts, ropes, safety hooks etc) for this type of work. We strongly recommend that all first-time chainsaw users obtain practical instruction on safe chainsaw usage before operating the chainsaw. Do not operate this machine when tired or under the influence of any substances, drugs or alcohol which can impair vision, dexterity or judgement.

Prolonged use of chainsaws or other machines exposing the operator to vibration may produce Whitefinger’s Disease (Raynaud’s Phenomenon). This may reduce the hands’ ability to feel and regulate temperature and may produce general numbness. Continual or regular users should therefore monitor closely the condition of their hands or fingers. If any of the symptoms appear, seek immediate medical advice.

3Never carry the chainsaw with the engine running. Whenever carrying a chainsaw, even for short distances, the chain should be covered by the chain guard (scabbard) and the bar should point backwards. When transporting the chainsaw in a vehicle, secure the saw to prevent fuel spillage.

4To avoid kick-back, do not attempt to cut with the nose of the bar. Ensure the engine is running at full throttle before commencing to cut. To avoid kick-back, do not let the nose of the bar come into contact with logs, branches, the ground or any other obstruction. Do not allow any part of the chain to come into contact with rock, nails or wire fence. Ensure the chain is kept sharp and correctly
