SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

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

Wear snug-fitting clothing. Always wear heavy, long pants, boots, and gloves. Do not wear jewelry, short pants, sandals, or go bare- foot. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, which could be drawn into the engine or catch the chain or underbrush. Wear overalls, jeans, or chaps made of cut-resistant material or ones that contain cut-resistant inserts. Secure hair so that it is above shoulder level.

■Wear non-slip safety footwear and heavy- duty gloves to improve your grip and to protect your hands.

■Wear eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, as well as hearing and head protection, when operating this

equipment.

Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area. Do not allow other persons to be nearby during starting or cutting with the chain saw.

NOTE: The size of the work area depends on the job being performed as well as the size tree or workpiece involved. For example, felling a tree requires a larger work area than making other cuts (i.e., bucking cuts, etc.).

Keep SAFE-T-TIP®anti-kickback nose guard properly mounted on the guide bar to prevent rotational kickback.

Follow the sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

Never operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released. If the saw chain moves at

idle speed, the carburetor may need adjusting­ .

Refer to Adjusting the Carburetor in the Maintenance section of this manual. If the saw chain still moves at idle speed after adjustment has been made, contact an authorized service center for adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is made.

REFUELING (DO NOT SMOKE!)

■To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.

■Mix and store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.

■Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or flames.

■Select bare ground, stop the engine, and allow it to cool before refueling.

■Loosen the fuel cap slowly to release pres- sure and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap.

■Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.

■Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 30 feet away from refueling site before starting engine.

Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circumstances.

KICKBACK

Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious injury. Do not rely only on the safety devices provided with the saw. As a chain saw user, you must take special safety precautions to help keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury. See the General Safety Rules and Operation sections of this manual for added information on kickback and how to avoid serious personal injury.
