14. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.
15. Operate the chainsaw only in well-ventilated areas.
16. DO NOT operate a chainsaw from in a tree unless you have
been specifically trained to do so.
17. All chainsaw servicing, other than the items listed in the
user manual safety and maintenance instructions should be
performed by competent chainsaw service personnel.
18. When transporting your chainsaw, use the appropriate chain
bar scabbard.
19. DO NOT operate your chainsaw near or around flammable
liquids or gases whether in or out of doors. An explosion and/
or fire may result.
20. Do not fill the fuel tank, oil reservoir or lubricate whilst the
engine of the chainsaw is running.
21. USE THE CORRECT TOOL: Cut wood only. Do not use the
chainsaw for purposes for which it was not intended. For
example, do not use the chainsaw for cutting plastic, masonry,
or building materials.
22. The engine will create toxic exhaust fumes as soon as the
engine is started. Never work in enclosed areas or in areas
with poor ventilation.
Note: The chainsaw is designed for occasional use by home
owners, garden owners and campers and is for general work
such as stump grubbing, cutting firewood, etc. It is not designed
for lengthy use. If it is used for a lengthy period, the vibrations it
causes in the hands of the user may result in circulation problems
(white finger syndrome).
Kickback
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the chain bar touches
an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw
chain in the cut. If the bar tip contacts, it may cause a lightning-
fast reverse reaction, kicking the chain bar up and back towards
the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the chain
bar may push the chain bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to loose control of the
saw, which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely
exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a
chainsaw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting
jobs free from accident or injury.
