◾
Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw
chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the chain saw"live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For
example: do not use chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or
non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different
than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
◾
Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an understanding of the
risks and how to avoid them. Serious injury could occur to the operator or
bystanders while felling a tree.
