electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
IMPORTANT
WARNING
When using an cordless chain saw, basic safety precaution should be always followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
• Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path
from the falling tree. Cluttered areas invite accidents.
• Keep all children, bystanders, visitors, and animals out of the work area while starting or cutting
with the chain saw.
• Do not operate chain saw in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Wear snug fitting clothing. Always wear heavy, long pants, overalls, jeans or chaps made of cut
resistant material or ones that contain cut resistant inserts. Wear non-slip safety footwear. Wear
non-slip heavy duty gloves to improve your grip and to protect your hands. Do not wear jewelry,
short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, which could be drawn into
the motor or catch the chain or underbrush. Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
