Additional safety precautions

The following additional safety precautions must be ob-

served by all users of chain saws:

  1.  Do not operate a chain saw when you are fatigued.

  2.  Use safety footwear; snug-fitting clothing; protective 

gloves; and eye, hearing, and head protection devi-

ces.

  3.  Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain saw 

at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling point  before 

starting the engine.

  4.  Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw 

when starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep 

bystanders and animals out of the work area.

  5.  Do  not  start  cutting  until  you  have  a  clear  work  

area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from 

the falling tree.

  6.  Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain 

when the engine is running.

  7.  Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw 

chain is not contacting anything.

  8.  Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the 

guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler 

away from your body.

  9.  Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, is im-

properly adjusted, or is not completely and securely  

assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving 

when the throttle control trigger is released.

10.  Shut off the engine before setting it down.

11.  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.

12.  When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for 

springback so that you will not be struck when the 

tension on the wood fibers is released.

13.  Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel 

mixture.

14.  Operate  the  chain  saw  only  in  well-ventilated  

areas.

15.  Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you have 

been specifically trained to do so.

16.  All chain saw service, other than the items listed  in 

the  Operator’s  Manual  maintenance  instructions, 

should be performed by DOLMAR. (For example, 

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 and could subsequently cause 

the flywheel to burst.)

17.  When  transporting  your  chain  saw,  use  the  chain 

protection cover.

18.  Low kickback bars and low kickback chains are desi-

gned to reduce the risk of kickback injury. Ask  your 

DOLMAR dealer about these devices.

Safety precautions for chain saw operators

While operating the chain saw please observe the follo-

wing rules:

a) 

Contact of the guide bar nose with any object  

 

should be avoided.

b) 

Tip contact may cause the guide bar to move  

 

suddenly upward and backward, which may  

 

cause serious or fatal injury.

c) 

Always operate the chain saw with both hands.

WARNING!

Read and follow all safety precautions in the operator’s 

manual. Failure to follow instructions could result in 

serious injury. It is recommended to lend the chain 

saw only to people who are experienced in working 

with chain saws. Always hand over the Operator’s 

and Safety Manual.

WARNING!

This chain saw is capable of severe kickback that 

could result in serious injury to the operator. Do not 

operate this chain saw unless you have extraordinary 

cutting needs and experience in and special training 

for dealing with kickback. 

Chain saws with significantly reduced kickback po-

tential are available.

WARNING!

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide 

bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in 

and pinches the saw chain in the cut. This contact 

may abruptly stop the 

saw chain 

and in some cases 

may cause a lightning fast reverse 

reaction, 

kicking 

the guide bar up and back towards the user, or push 

the guide bar back towards the operator. 

Kickback 

may  cause  you  to  lose  control  of  the 

saw.

As a chain saw user, you can take several steps to 

reduce the risk of a kickback and potential injury.

A.  With a basic understanding of kickback, you can 

reduce or eliminate the element of  surprise. It is a 

sudden surprise that contributes to accidents.

B.  Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, 

your  right  hand  on  the  rear  grip  and  your  left 

hand on the tubular handle, when the engine is 

running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers 

encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip can 

neutralize kickback and help you maintain control 

of the saw. Don’t let go!

C.  Make sure that the area in which you are cutting  

is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of 

the  guide  bar  contact  the  log,  branch,  or  any 

other  obstructions which could be hit while you 

are operating the saw.

D.  Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

E.  Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and mainten-

ance instructions for the saw chain.

F.   Only use replacement bars and chains specified 

by the manufacturer or the equivalent.
