Pole Chain Saw Safety
Warnings
1. 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 chain saw
may cause entanglement of your
clothing or body with the saw chain.
2. 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.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, because the
saw chain may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Saw chains contacting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric
shock.
4. Wear safety glasses and hearing
protection. 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.
5. Do not operate a chain saw in a
tree. Operation of a chain saw while
up in a tree may result in personal
injury.
6. When cutting a limb that is under
tension be alert for 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.
7. 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.
8. Follow instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning and changing
accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance of kickback.
9. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease. Greasy, oily
handles are slippery causing loss of
control.
10. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw
for purposes not intended. For
