1.
Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not start cutting
until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and
a planned retreat path from the falling tree.
2.
Consider work area environment
Use extreme caution when cutting small sized brush
and sapling, as slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off bal-
ance. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you
are specifically trained to do so. When cutting a limb
that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that
you will not be struck when the tension in the wood
fibers is released. Do not expose the chain saw to
rain. Do not use the chain saw in damp or wet loca-
tions. Do not use the chain saw in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
3.
Store idle chain saw
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high
or locked up place, out of reach of children.
4.
Do not force the chain saw
The chain saw will do a better and safer job when
used at the rate for which it was intended.
5.
Use the right tool
Cut wood only. Do not use the chain saw for purpos-
es for which it was not intended. For example, do not
use the chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or
non-building materials.
6.
Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, as they can get
caught in moving parts. Non-skid footwear is recom-
mended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
7.
Use safety gear
Use safety glasses, safety footwear, snug fitting
clothing, protective gloves, and protective hearing
and head gear.
8.
Carrying the saw
Carry the saw by the front handle with the saw
stopped. Keep your finger off the switch, and make
sure that the guide bar and saw chain are to the rear.
9.
Do not abuse the cord
Never carry the tool by the cord or pull it to discon-
nect it from the socket. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
10.
Secure work
Use clamps or a vice to hold the work.
11.
Do not overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
12.
Maintain the chain saw with care
Inspect the chain saw cords periodically and, if
damaged, have them repaired by an authorized
service facility. Keep the cord clear of the chain and
operator at all times. Never carry the saw by the cord
or pull it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep the cord
from oil and sharp edges. Inspect the extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged. Keep tools
sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
13.
Disconnect the chain saw
Disconnect the chain saw when not in use, before
servicing, and when changing accessories and
attachments such as saw chain and guard.
14.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning it on.
15.
Avoid unintentional starting
Do not carry a plugged-in tool with a finger on the
switch. Ensure switch is off when plugging in.
16.
Use outdoor extension leads
Use only extension cords that are intended for out-
door use and which are so marked.
17.
Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate the chain saw when you are tired. Keep
all parts of your body away from the saw chain when
the motor is operating. Before you start the saw,
make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.
18.
Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to deter-
mine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is dam-
aged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated
in this instruction manual. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service facility. Do not use
the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
