OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious
injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any
combination of these persons may result from one-
handed operation. A chain saw is intended for two-
handed use.
• Do not operate a chain saw if you are fatigued.
• Use safety footwear; snug-fitted clothing; protective
gloves; and eye, hearing, and head protection devices.
• 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.
• Do not remove, damage or de-activate any of the
safety devices. Never use a damaged, modified, or
improperly repaired or assembled chain saw. Check
their proper operation regularly. Only use bars and
chains of the length indicated in the table herein.
• Never carry out operations or repairs on your own that
are other than routine maintenance. For information,
contact specialized and authorized workshops only.
• If your chain saw is no longer usable, dispose of it
properly without damaging the environment by
handing it in to your local dealer who will arrange for
its correct disposal.
• Use caution when felling a tree. Make sure you have
planned an escape path when felling, and keep all
bystanders away.
• Be alert; stop the machine if anyone enters the cutting
area, which is usually 3 to 4 feet around the operator.
• Use caution when working in a crew to avoid injury to
a fellow worker who may enter the cutting area.
• Only loan your saw to experienced users who are
completely familiar with saw operation and correct
use. Give other users this manual, which they should
read before using the saw. Provide them the operating
instructions.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
• Shut off the motor before setting down the saw. Do
not leave the motor running unattended.
• Store the unit in a dry area, locked up, located up high
and located out of the reach of children to prevent
unauthorized use or damage.
• Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other
liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and free from debris.
Clean after each use.
• Keep these instructions. Refer to them often and use
them to instruct other users. If you loan someone this
unit, also loan them these instructions.
• Do not use the unit in the rain, in a storm or in
inclement weather. Wait until the storm danger has
passed before operation of this product.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNINGS
• Since the tool is double-insulated, a 2-wire extension
cord (an extension cord without a ground) may be
used. A 3-wire extension cord (an extension cord with
a ground) that uses a NEMA type connector (parallel
blade, U ground) is recommended. Extension cords are
available from your local retailer. Use only round-
jacketed extension cords approved for outdoor use.
• This tool is double-insulated. Repair or replace
damaged cords.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this unit has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
unit will fit with a polarized plug in one way only. If the
plug does not fit fully into the unit, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, use a cord with the correct
connection. Do not modify the unit in any way.
To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, use
only SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJOW-A, SJTW-W or SJTOW-A cord types.
