IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5) Store idle chain saw
When not in use, chain saws should be stored in a dry, and high or
locked-up place - out of the reach of children. When storing saw, use a
scabbard or carrying case.
6) Don’t force chain saw
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
7) Use right tool
Cut wood only. Don’t use chain saw for purposes not intended - for
example: Don’t use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry, non-wood
building materials.
8) Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can get caught in moving
parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when
working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9) Use safety glasses
Also use safety footwear; snug fitting clothing; protective gloves;
hearing and head protection.
10) Carrying saw
Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the saw stopped, finger off
the switch, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear.
11) Maintain chain saw with care
Inspect chain saw cord periodically and if damaged, have repaired by an
authorized service facility. Keep cord clear of the chain and operator at
all times. Never carry saw by the cord or pull it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from oil and sharp edges. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged. Keep tools sharp and clean for
better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
12) Disconnect chain saw
Disconnect chain saw when not in use, before servicing, and when
changing accessories and attachments, such as saw chain and guard.
13) Use outdoor extension cords
Use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
14) Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate chain
saw when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
drowsiness-inducing medication. Keep all parts of the body away from
the saw chain when the motor is operating. Before you start the saw,
make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.
Before further use of the chain saw, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this
instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service centre.
Do not use chain saw if switch does not turn it on and off.
Do not 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 trigger is released.
