general safety rules –
personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
operating the chainsaw. Do not use
the chainsaw while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating the chainsaw may result
in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Never wear shorts when operating the
chainsaw. Always wear long pants or
chaps.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Make
sure the trigger switch is in the off
position and the trigger lock-out is not
pressed before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking
up, or carrying the tool. Carrying the
chainsaw with finger on the trigger
switch invites accidents.
• The work piece, bar, and chain can be
hot after cutting. Wear gloves to avoid
burns.
• Remove any adjusting tool before
operating the chainsaw. A tool left
attached to or near a rotating part of
the chainsaw may result in personal
injury.
