10. Always inspect the chain saw before each use for worn, Ioose, or changed parts.
Never operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely
and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle
control trigger is released.
11. All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the Operator’s Manual, should be
performed by competent chain saw service personnel. (e.g., if improper tools are
used to remove the flywheel, or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in
order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could occur which
could subsequently cause the flywheel to disintegrate).
12. Always shut off the engine before setting it down.
13. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because slender
material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
14. 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.
15. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.
16. Operate the chain saw only in well ventilated areas. Never start or run the engine
inside a closed room or building. Exhaust fumes contain dangerous carbon monoxide.
17. Guard against kickback. Kickback is the upward motion of the guide bar which occurs
when the saw chain at the nose of the guide bar contacts an object. Kickback can lead
to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.
18. When transporting your chain saw, make sure the appropriate guide bar scabbard is
in place.
