accidental contact with the saw chain.
5.Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, from a
rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of a chain saw in this
manner could result in serious personal injury.
6.Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only
when standing on fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or
unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
7.When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring
back. When the tension in the wood fibres is released the spring loaded
limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
8.Use extreme caution when cutting bush and saplings. The
slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or
pull you off balance.
9.Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw
switched off and away from your body. When transporting
or storing the chain saw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact
with the moving saw chain.
10.Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and
changing the bar and chain. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain
may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
11.Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not
intended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting
metal, plastic, masonry or non- wood building materials. Use
of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
12. Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an understanding
of the risks and how to avoid them. Serious injury could occur to the
operator or bystanders while felling a tree.
