e.
Maintain power tools.
Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g.
Use the power tool, 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 power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

maintained.
CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
•
Keep all parts of the body away from
the saw chain when the chain saw is
operating.
Before you start the chain saw,
make sure the saw chain is not contacting
anything. A moment of inattention
while operating 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.
NOTE:
For chain saws designed with the
chain bar on the left side, the reference to
“right hand” and “left hand” positioning is
reversed.
•
Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only.
The saw chain
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
•
Wear safety glasses and hearing
protection.
Further protective equipment
for head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental 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 injury.
•
Always keep proper footing and 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.
•
When cutting a limb that is under
tension be alert for spring back.
When
the tension in the wood fibres is released
the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the chain saw out of
control.
•
Use extreme caution when cutting
brush and saplings.
The slender material
may catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
•
Carry the chain saw by the front handle
with the chain saw switched off and
away from your body.
When transporting
or storing the chain saw always fit the chain
bar cover. Proper handling of the chain
saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
•
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain
may either break or increase the chance for
kickback.
•
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are
slippery causing loss of control.
• Cut wood only.
DO NOT
use chain saw
for purposes not intended. For example:
DO NOT
use chain saw for cutting plastic,
masonry or non-wood building materials.
Use of the chain saw for operations
different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Causes and Operator Prevention of
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. Tip contact in some
cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction,
