15. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting – Make sure 

not press the trigger switch before inserting the battery.

16. Use recommended accessories – 

Consult the owner’s 

manual for recommended accessories. The use of 

improper accessories may cause risk of injury. 

17. Check for damaged parts – Before each use, repair, or 

replace any guard or part that is damaged. In addition, 

check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving 

parts, breakage of parts, and any other conditions that 

may affect the tool's operation.

18. Never leave tool unattended while it is running – Turn 

the power OFF by removing the power cord directly from 

its socket. Do not leave the saw until the cutting bar 

comes to a complete stop.

19. Avoid unintentional starting – Do not carry the cordless 

chain saw with your finger on the switch.

20. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blade or cutting 

edges when picking up or holding the saw – Be sure to 

encase the cutting bar in its protective sheath when not  

in use.

21. Stay alert – 

Watch what you are doing. Use common 

sense. Do not operate the chain saw when you are tired.

22. Store idle tool indoors – When not in use, appliances 

should be stored indoors in a dry and high or locked-up 

place out of the reach of children.

WARNING!

 Some dust and debris created by the 

use of the tool could contain chemicals known to the State 

of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other 

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•  Chemicals in fertilizers
•  Compounds in insecticides, herbicides, and pesticides
•  Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, and 

depends on how often you do this type of work. To reduce 

your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with 

approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are 

specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

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 the chain saw 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.

•  Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. If you are 

using the chain saw every day under normal conditions, 

you can be exposed to a noise level of 85 dB (A) or higher. 

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 the 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 a 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 cautious 

of spring back. When the tension in the wood fibers 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 guide 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. An improperly tensioned or poorly 

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 and can cause loss of 

control.

•  Cut wood only. Do not use the chain saw for any other 

purpose. For example, do not use the chain saw to cut 

plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Using 

the chain saw in these incorrect ways could result in 

serious damage to you and your tool.
