GENERAL CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
a.
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 saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw
chain.
b.
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.
c.
Hold the chain saw 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 chain saw "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
d.
Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended.
Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury from flying debris or
accidental contact with the saw chain.
e.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable support.
Operation of a chain saw in this manner could result in serious personal injury.
f.
Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain
saw.
g.
Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the chain saw, always fit the guide bar cover.
Proper handling
of the
chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
h.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
i.
Cut concrete, masonry, and similar materials only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended.
For example: do not use chain saw for cutting wood, metal, or plastic materials.
