4. Safety Precautions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING - READ BEFORE OPERATION
A chainsaw is a high-speed, fast cutting power tool and as a result special safety precautions must be taken to
reduce the risk of personal injury.
■ SAFETY PRECAUTION
Please read this manual carefully prior to operating the chain saw. It contains important safety, maintenance and
operating instructions. Read these instructions thoroughly even if you are already familiar with chainsaw use.
This product should not be used for any other purpose than described. National regulations can restrict the use of
the product.
■ OPERATOR SAFETY
-Do not operate the chainsaw when you are tired, ill or under the influence of medication, alcohol or drugs. Do
not operate the saw if you are fatigued.
- Always wear a safety face shield or goggles.
- Always wear safety protective equipment such as Angus fitting clothing (jacket, trousers) gloves, boots with steel
toecaps and non-slip soles. Chainsaw chaps add a layer of safety. Do not wear short, loose clothing such as scarves,
jewelry, sandals, or go barefoot. Loose clothing may become tangled in branches or the chainsaw.
- Wear hearing protection. Hearing damage is cumulative.
- Wear non-slip, heavy-duty work gloves to improve your grip on the chainsaw handles. Keep chainsaw handles
free of oil and fuel.
- Never let a minor or inexperienced person operate the chainsaw. Bystanders, especially children and animals
should be kept out of the area where the chainsaw is in use.
- Never start or run the chainsaw in an enclosed area. The exhaust fumes contain Carbon.
- Keep hands away from the chain cutter. Do not grab or hold the chainsaw by the chain.
- When the chainsaw is turned off, make sure the chain has stopped before placing the unit down.
- Take a break if you have used the chainsaw for a prolonged period of time. Long-term exposure to vibration can
result in white-finger disease, a loss of sensation in the hands and the inability to feel and regulate temperature.
- Obey all the local regulations of the cutting area or municipality.
■ UNIT/TOOL SAFETY
- Inspect the chainsaw carefully before each use. Replace any damaged parts before use. Check for fuel leaks and
tighten any loose fasteners.
- Never modify the chainsaw and use only approved replacement parts for repair work.
- Check chain tension before each use and in between fueling breaks. The chain will lengthen with use especially
during the running-in period. A slack chain is dangerous.
- Never let the chain strike anything. If the chain makes contact, stop the chainsaw and inspect for damage.
Replace any damaged parts before use.
- Make sure the automatic oiler is working. Keep the oil tank filled with clean chain bar oil. Never let the chain run
dry on the bar.
- All chainsaw service, other than the items listed in this manual, should be performed by qualified chainsaw
service personnel.
■ CHAINSAW USE SAFETY
- Never transport the chainsaw with the chain moving, even for a few steps. Engage the chain brake. For longer
distances, shut off the engine, cover the chain with the chain guard (scabbard) and carry the saw in a horizontal
position, keeping the hot muffler away from you and the chain facing backwards.
- Do not use the chainsaw to cut any material other than wood or wood objects.
