•
Keep all parts of the body away
from the saw chain when the chain

chain saws may cause entanglement
of your clothing or body with the saw
chain.
• Always hold the chain saw with
your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front
handle.
Holding the chain saw with a
reversed hand configuration increases
the risk of personal injury and should
never be done.
•
Wear safety glasses and ear pro-
tection. Other protective equipment
for the head, hands, legs and feet
is compulsory. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury by
flying debris or accidentaI contact with
the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a
tree.
Operation of a chain saw while
up in a tree may result in personal in
jury.

operate the chain saw only when
standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces
such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the chain saw.

der tension be alert for spring back.
When the tension in the wood fibres is
released the spring loaded Iimb may
strike the operator and/or throw the

be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
• Carry the chain saw by the front
handle with the chain saw switched

chain tensioning and changing ac-
cessories. Improperly tensioned or

handles are slippery causing loss of
control.

saw for purposes not intended. For
example: do not use chain saw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-
