CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and mainte-
nance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the
depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, se-
cure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling
tree. Cluttered areas invite accidents.
Keep ALL children, bystanders, visitors, and animals out
of the work area while starting or cutting with the chain-
saw. Do not let visitors contact chainsaw or extension
cord.
Do not operate chainsaw in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Chainsaws create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Dress Properly – Wear snug fitting clothing. Always wear
heavy, long pants, long sleeves, overalls, jeans or chaps
made of cut resistant material or ones that contain cut
resistant inserts. Wear non-slip safety footwear. Wear
non-slip heavy duty gloves to improve your grip and to
protect your hands. Do not wear jewelry, short pants,
sandals, or go barefoot. Do not wear loose fitting clothing,
which could be drawn into the motor or catch the chain
or underbrush. Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
Wear hearing and head protection.
Heavy protective clothing may increase operator fatigue,
which could lead to heat stroke. During weather that is
hot and humid, heavy work should be scheduled for early
morning or late afternoon hours when temperatures are
cooler.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 as well as hearing and head
protection when operating this equipment.
Always be aware of what you are doing when using the
chainsaw. Use common sense. Do not operate the chain-
saw when you are tired, ill, upset, or under the influence
of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Do not expose the chainsaw to rain.
Do not use the chainsaw in damp or wet locations.
Stay alert and pay attention to what you are doing. Use
common sense when using this unit.
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when
the unit is running.
Never let anyone use your chainsaw who has not received
adequate instructions in its proper use. This applies to
rentals as well as privately owned saws.
Before you start the unit, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting any object.
Stop the chainsaw before setting it down.
To avoid accidental starting, never carry the unit with your
finger on the switch trigger.
Maintain the unit with care. Keep the cutting edge sharp
and clean for best performance and to reduce the risk
of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
Do not operate a chainsaw with one hand! Use a firm grip
with thumbs and fingers encircling the chainsaw handles.
Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or
any combination of these persons may result from one-
handed operation. A chainsaw is intended for two-handed
use.
Guard against electric shock – Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces such as metal pipes and wire fences.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is grounded.
Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged, improperly
adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled.
Chain should slow to a stop when the switch trigger is
released. If the chain continues to turn after the switch
trigger has been released, have the unit serviced by an
authorized service center.
Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mount-
ing, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service center un-
less otherwise indicated elsewhere in this manual.
All chainsaw service, other than the items listed in the op-
eration and maintenance sections, should be performed
by an authorized service center.
Always maintain a proper stance.
Do not use chainsaw if switch does not turn it on and off.
Have switch replaced by an authorized service center.
Do not adapt your power head to a bow guide or use it
to power any attachments or devices not listed for the
saw.
Disconnect chainsaw from power supply when not in
use, before servicing, and when making adjustments and
changing attachments, such as saw chain and guard.
Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.
Do not force the chainsaw. The job can be performed
better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
Follow all instructions when clearing jammed mate-
rial, storing or servicing the chainsaw. Make sure the
switch is off and the battery pack is removed. Unex-
pected actuation of the chainsaw while clearing jammed
material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
Always use the right product for your application. The
chainsaw should be used for cutting wood only. Never
use the chainsaw to cut plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials.
