Safety Messages
A safety message is to alert you to potential dangers that could hurt

YOU FAIL TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: YOU CAN BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED IF
YOU FAIL TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: YOU CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IF YOU FAIL TO
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.
Each safety message tells you what the hazard is, what can
happen and what you can do to avoid and reduce injury.
There are other important messages preceded with the word
NOTICE
.
NOTICE: MEANS YOUR CHAINSAW OR OTHER PROPERTY
COULD BE DAMAGED IF YOU FAIL TO FOLLOW
INSTRUCTIONS.
The purpose of these messages is to help prevent damage to you,
your chainsaw, other property and the environment.
General Safety Instructions
Even when used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all
residual risk factors. Use with caution.
Keep guards in position
• Always keep guards in position, in good working order, correctly
adjusted and aligned. Never attempt to use a tool without any guard
supplied with it.
Remove adjusting keys
• Always check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning on.
Clean work area
• Accidents occur where benches and work areas are cluttered or
dirty, floors must be kept clear, avoid working where the floor
is slippery.
Dangerous environment
• Provide adequate surrounding work space and keep area well lit.
Do not use tools where there is a risk of explosion or fire from
combustible material, flammable liquids, flammable gases
or dust of an explosive nature.
Children & Pets
• Children and pets should always be kept at a safe distance
from your work. Make your workshop child-proof. Lock tools
away where children can’t get access to them.
Use the correct tool
• Don’t force, or attempt to use a tool for a purpose it was not
designed for. Do not use a small tool to do the job of a heavy duty
tool.
Wear correct clothing and footwear

may get caught in moving parts. Wear non-slip footwear, cover or
tie back long hair. Use safety footwear if necessary.
Protect your head
• Wear safety goggles at all times, every day glasses are not
sufficient for eye protection, as lenses are not impact resistant and
could shatter. Use an approved face or dust mask when operation
creates dust. Ensure dust extraction equipment is functioning
and correctly used. Hearing protection should be used if the sound
intensity level for the operator could exceed 80dB(A). Use a hard
hat where there is a risk of falling objects or striking your head on
low level obstructions.
Protect yourself from vibration.
• Hand held tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause
disease. Gloves to keep the operator warm and dry and therefore
maintain good blood circulation in the fingers may help. This tool
has not been designed for extended or industrial operation.
Secure work

allow you to use both hands to operate your tool.
Keep your balance
• Don’t over reach, keep proper footing at all times to ensure
correct balance.

for best and safest performance. Ensure ventilation holes are kept
clean and unrestricted at all times.
Accessories

mentioned in this manual could result in damage or injury. The use
of improper accessories could be dangerous.
Never stand on your power tool
• Standing on your tool could cause serious injury if the tool is tipped
or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. Do not store materials
above or near the tool so that it is necessary to stand on the tool or
its stand to reach them.
Check for damaged or missing parts.
• Before each use check if any part of the power tool is damaged or
missing, check carefully that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check alignment of moving parts for binding. Any
guard or other part that is damaged should be correctly repaired or
replaced. Do not use if the power switch does not turn the power on
and off. Check any other condition that may affect the safety of the
power tool.
