- When cutting wood sprayed with insecticide, use a NIOSH filter mask for respiratory protection. -Stop the
chainsaw engine immediately should children, animals, bystanders or helpers enter the cutting hazard zone.
- Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands with the thumb firmly locked over the front handle. The chainsaw
must be held with the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle.
- Never cut using one hand.
- While cutting, maintain a firm and balanced footing. Keep your body balanced and never over-reach.
- Keep the muffler and saw chain away from all parts of the body while the engine is running. Keep the bar/chain
below waist level.
- Stand to the side of the saw while cutting, never directly behind it.
- Preplan a safe exit from a falling tree before starting the sawing. -Be alert against a kickback. Never cut with the
nose of the bar.
- Only use cutting attachments as listed in the technical data within these instructions. The use of other
attachments leads to hazards resulting in personal injuries and damage to property.
