Chain saw safety warnings
1. Keep all parts of the body away from
the saw chain when the chain saw is
operating. Before you start the chain
saw, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chain saws may
cause entanglement of your clothing or body
with the saw chain.
2. Always hold the chain saw with your
right hand on the rear handle and your
left hand on the front handle. Holding the
chain saw with a reversed hand confi guration
increases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain
may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
4. Wear eye protection. Further protective
equipment for hearing, head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate
protective equipment will reduce personal
injury from fl ying debris or accidental contact
with the saw chain.
5. Do not operate a chain saw, 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
fi xed, secure and level surface. Slippery or
unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause
a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
7. When cutting a limb that is under tension
be alert for kickback. When the tension in
the wood fi bers 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 brush
and saplings. The slender material may
catch the saw chain and be whipped toward

EN
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 apply
the guide bar guard. 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 diff erent 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.
13. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree
unless you have been specifi cally trained
to do so. Operation of a chain saw in
a tree without proper training could
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
14. Follow all instructions when clearing
jammed material, storing or servicing the
chain saw. Make sure the switch is off and
the battery pack is removed. Unexpected
actuation of the chain saw while clearing
jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and
back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards
the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw which could result in serious
personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the
safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw
user, you should take several steps to keep your
cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
