5. For safe operation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Always inspect the chain saw before each use for worn, loose, or dam-aged parts.
Never operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely
and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle
control trigger is released.
14. All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the Owner's Manual, should
be performed by competent chain saw service personnel.
15. Always shut off the engine before setting it down.
16. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because slender
material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
17. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring- back so that you
will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released.
18. Never cut in high wind, bad weather, when visibility is poor or in very high or low
temperatures. Always check the tree for dead branches which could fall during the
felling operation.
19. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.
20. Operate the chain saw only in well ventilated areas. Never start or run the engine
inside a closed room or building and potentially explosive atmosphere. Exhaust fumes
contain dangerous carbon monoxide.
21. Do not operate the chain saw in a tree unless specially trained to do so.
22. Guard against kickback. Kickback is the upward motion of the guide bar which
occurs when the saw chain at the nose of the guide bar contacts an object. Kickback
can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.
23. When transporting your chain saw, make sure the appropriate guide bar scabbard
is in place.
24. Never touch the cover, guide bar, saw chain or nut with bare hands while
the engine is in operation or immediately after shutting down the engine. Doing so
could result in serious burns because of high temperature.
