CHAIN SAW USE AND CARE
Do not force the chainsaw. Use the correct chainsaw for your application. The correct
chainsaw will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the chainsaw if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any chainsaw that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Store idle chainsaws out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the chainsaw or these instructions to operate the chainsaw. Chainsaws are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain chainsaws. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the chainsaw's operation. If damaged,
have the chainsaw repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
chainsaws.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the chainsaw, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
