General Safety 

m

WARNING!

 

When using electric/cordless yard tools, 

basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce 

the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the 

following:

1. Keep guards in place – Protective guards should be 

checked periodically to ensure they are properly fitted and 

in correct working order.

2. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches – 

Check that 

adjusting wrenches are removed from the saw before 

turning it on.

3. Keep work area clean and well-lit – 

Clear work area of 

branches and limbs after each cutting session. Cluttered 

areas invite accidents.

4.  Do not use in dangerous environments – Do not use 

power tools in damp or wet locations.

5.  Do not use the chain saw in the rain.
6.  Keep bystanders and children away – 
All bystanders, 

including children and pets, should be kept a safe 

distance away from the work area.

7.  Do not force the tool – 

It will do the job effectively and 

safely if it is used at the rate for which it was designed. 

8.  Use the right tool – Do not force the tool or any 

attachment on the tool to do a job for which they were 

 

not designed. 

9. Wear proper apparel – Do not wear loose articles of 

clothing or jewelry since such items may get caught 

in moving parts. Use of heavy-duty rubber gloves, 

substantial non-skid footwear, and close-fitting clothing is 

recommended when working outdoors with power tools.

10. Wear protective hair coverings to contain long hair. 
11. Always wear safety glasses and ear defenders to 

provide eye and ear protection – Everyday eyeglasses 

only have impact resistant lenses and do not provide the 

same protection as safety glasses.

12. Wear face or dust masks – If the cutting operation is 

dusty, the use of a face or dust mask specially designed 

to filter out microscopic particles is recommended.

13. Do not overreach – Keep proper footing and balance  

at all times.

14. Maintain tools with care – Keep tools sharp and clean 

for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for 

lubricating and changing accessories.
