AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT
Do not attempt to load or unload logs until the log saw has stopped. Keep hands out
of the way of all moving parts. Never use a damaged saw blade or chain. Do not
reach around the saw blade with either hand while the cutter is running. Do not
stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Avoid
awkward cutting operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the saw blade. Never pile logs to be split in a manner that
will cause you to reach across the log saw. Only use your hands to operate the
control handle. Never use your foot, knee or any other extension device. Never
attempt to free a stalled saw chain without first turning the log saw off.
•
PROTECT YOUR HANDS
Keep your hands away from splits and cracks which open in the log. They may close
suddenly and crush or amputate your hands. Do not remove jammed logs with your
hands.
•
DON’T FORCE TOOL
