Safety Precautions
Before Using the Chainsaw
•
Read this manual carefully to understand how to operate this chainsaw properly.
•
You should never use the chainsaw when you are under the influence of alcohol, when suffering from
exhaustion or lack of sleep, when suffering from drowsiness as a result of having taken cold medicine, or at
any other time when a possibility exists that your judgment might be impaired or that you might not be able
to operate the machine properly and in a safe manner.
•
Avoid running the engine indoors. The exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide.
•
Never use the chainsaw under circumstances like those described below:
−
When tile ground is slippery or when other conditions exist which might make it difficult to maintain a
steady posture.
−
At night, at times of heavy fog, or at any other times when your field of vision might be limited and it
would be difficult to gain a clear view of the area.
−
During rain storms, lightning storms, times of strong or gale-force winds, or at any other times when
weather conditions might make it unsafe to use the chainsaw.
•
When using the chainsaw for the first time, before beginning actual work, learn how to properly handle it
from a skilled worker.
•
Lack of sleep, tiredness, or physical exhaustion can result in lower attention spans, and this can lead to
accidents and injuries. Limit the amount of time of using the chainsaw continuously to somewhere around 10
minutes per session, and lake 10 – 20 minutes of rest between work sessions. Also try to keep the total
amount of work performed in a single day under 2 hours or less.
•
Be sure to keep this manual handy so that you may refer to it later whenever any questions arise.
•
Be sure to always include this manual when selling, lending, or transferring the ownership of the chainsaw.
•
Never allow children or anyone unable to fully understand the directions given in this manual to use this
chainsaw.
