OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious
injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any
combination of these persons may result from one-
handed operation. A chain saw is intended for two-
handed use.
• Do not operate a chain saw if you are fatigued.
• Use safety footwear; snug-fitted clothing; protective
gloves; and eye, hearing, and head protection devices.
• Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw
when starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep
bystanders and animals out of the work area.
• Do not remove, damage or de-activate any of the
safety devices. Never use a damaged, modified, or
improperly repaired or assembled chain saw. Check
their proper operation regularly. Only use bars and
chains of the length indicated in the table herein.
• Never carry out operations or repairs on your own that
are other than routine maintenance. For information,
contact specialized and authorized workshops only.
• If your chain saw is no longer usable, dispose of it
properly without damaging the environment by
handing it in to your local dealer who will arrange for
its correct disposal.
• Use caution when felling a tree. Make sure you have
planned an escape path when felling, and keep all
bystanders away.
• Be alert; stop the machine if anyone enters the cutting
area, which is usually 3 to 4 feet around the operator.
• Use caution when working in a crew to avoid injury to
a fellow worker who may enter the cutting area.
• Only loan your saw to experienced users who are
completely familiar with saw operation and correct
use. Give other users this manual, which they should
read before using the saw. Provide them the operating
instructions.
• Shut off the engine before setting down the saw. Do
not leave the engine running unattended.
• Never store the unit, with fuel in the tank, inside a
building where fumes may reach an open flame or
spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing or transporting
the chain saw over long distances. For example, let
the engine cool before placing the chain saw in an
automobile. Also, be sure to secure the unit while
transporting.
• Store the unit in a dry area, locked up, located up high
and located out of the reach of children to prevent
unauthorized use or damage.
• Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other
liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and free from debris.
Clean after each use.
• Keep these instructions. Refer to them often and use
them to instruct other users. If you loan someone this
unit, also loan them these instructions.
• Do not use the unit in the rain, in a storm or in
inclement weather. Wait until the storm danger has
passed before operation of this product.
FUEL SAFETY
• Store fuel only in containers specifically designed and
approved for the storage of such materials.
• Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel
tank, or add fuel, when the engine is hot. Never
operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure
in the tank.
• Add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor area where
there are no sparks or flames. Slowly remove the fuel
cap only after stopping engine. Do not smoke while
fueling or mixing fuel. Wipe up any spilled fuel from the
unit immediately.
• Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. Do
not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.
• Move the unit at least 30 feet (9.1 m) from the fueling
source and site before starting the engine. Do not
smoke. Keep sparks and open flames away from the
area while adding fuel or operating the unit.
