SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
––maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
––Only use replacement bars and chains specified by Stanley Hydraulic Tools. Chains must meet the requirements of ANSI B175.1 for low kick- back performance.
•Always be well rested and mentally alert before op- erating the chain saw.
•Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area.
•Do not starting cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing and a planned escape path from a falling tree.
•Carry the saw with the unit
•Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings. Twigs may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward the operator or pull the operator off balance.
•When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for springback so that you will not be struck when the tension on the limb is released.
•Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil.
•Do not operate a chain saw while in a tree unless you have been specially trained to do so.
•When using tools near energized transmission lines, be sure to use only hoses labeled and certified non- conductive.
•Turn off the power unit or move the hydraulic control valve to neutral before setting the saw down.
•Use a guide bar scabbard when transporting the saw.
•Know the location of buried or covered electrical services before starting work.
•To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all tool repair, maintenance and service must only be performed by authorized and properly trained per- sonnel.
