Safety Precautions
Overview of Preventive Measures
Operation Manual
Carefully read the operation manual of the saw chain.
Be fully familiar with the operating instructions of
the saw chain, and properly operate the saw chain.
Personal injury may be easily caused if you do not
follow the suggestions in the manual. If you have any
question, please contact SURPASS product distributor.
Physical conditions
Do not operate the chain saw after drinking or
taking narcotic drugs or when you feel tired.
In order to ensure operation safety, be sure that
your mind and body are in good condition. Any
improper judgment or action will result in serious
and even fatal consequences.
If you feel uncomfortable, tense work will further deteriorate
your health condition. Therefore, please examine your physical
conditions before operating the chain saw. Don’t operate the
machine if you are sick or tired or you take drugs or other food that
will seriously affect the eyesight, action sensitivity and judgment.
Safety protection equipment
Wear appropriate goggles to protect your eyes, as wood
chippings, dust, suddenly broken branches or other waste may
be thrown to you in the cutting process. Goggles can also be
used to protect your eyes to the most extent if the chain saw hits
the face in the cutting process. If required, wear the goggles
under the ventilating mask.
SURPASS strongly recommends the operator to wear earmuffs
during operation of the chain saw; otherwise, your hearing will
be affected. You must wear the “helmet” type protective device
or earmuffs approved by the safety organization to protect your
hearing. Any person that operates the chain saw frequently must
receive hearing examination on a regular basis.
Wear the heat during operation of the chain saw. If you work
under a tree or a place where there is a chance that something
may hit you, please wear a qualified safety helmet.
You must wear heavy and non-slip labor protection gloves to
help hold the chain saw, protect you under cold conditions and
reduce vibration.
Wear the complete labor protection shoes or boots
with non-slip soles. Do not wear loose clothes,
jackets without buttons or clothes with sleeves or legs
extended outwards. Do not wear the scarf, lacing, tie,
bracelet, necklace and other kinds of jewelry, which
may be easily hooked by the chain saw or branches.
Wear fitting clothes made of durable materials to prevent clothes
from being hooked or broken. However, the flexible operation
must be guaranteed.
Legs must be tie. Preferably, legs should be inserted into the
labor protection boots or shortened. It is more effective to
wear labor protection clothes, leg protection leather trousers or
special trousers for woodcutters.
If possible, the operator should wear the above labor protection
articles. The chain saw must be operated by more than one
person. At least one person should be appointed to help you
when required.
Fuel
Warning
Danger
• Gasoline and oil are flammable. If gasoline or oil
spills out or if there is a fire source, fire may be easily
caused, resulting in serious burns and huge property
losses. So please be very careful when adding fuel.
• After refueling, tighten the fuel container cover and
check whether fuel leaks. In case of leakage, repair
the fuel container before starting the engine, so as
to prevent fire.
