instructions taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for

CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

• 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.
• Always hold the chain saw with your
right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle
(Fig. 2). Holding the chain saw with a
reversed hand configuration increases the
risk of personal injury and should never be
done.
FIG. 2

• Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, because saw
chain may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Saw chains contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing
protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Adequate
protective clothing will reduce personal
injury by flying debris or accidental contact
with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.
Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree
may result in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and
operate the chain saw only when
standing on a fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may
cause a loss of balance or control of the
chain saw.
• When cutting a limb that is under
tension, be alert for spring back. When
the tension in the wood fibers is released the
spring loaded limb may strike the operator
and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting
brush and saplings. The slender material
may catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
