Safety Chaps
Pull the starter rope
sharply 5 times with your
right hand.
Push the choke/fast idle
lever in to the HALF
CHOKE position.
Pull the starter rope sharply
with your right hand until
the engine starts.
S Always use approved hearing protection.
Regular users should have hearing
checked regularly as chain saw noise can
damage hearing. Long- -term exposure to
noise can result in permanent hearing im-
pairment.
S Keep all parts of your body away from the
chain when the engine is running.
S Keep children, bystanders, and animals a
minimum of 10 Meters away from the work
area. Do not allow other people or animals
to be near the chain saw when starting or
operating the chain saw.
S Do not handle or operate a chain saw when
you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or if you have
taken alcohol, drugs, or medication. You
must be in good physical condition and men-
tally alert. Chain saw work is strenuous. If
you have any condition that might be aggra-
vated by strenuous work, check with your
doctor before operating a chain saw.
S Carefully plan your sawing operation in ad-
vance. Do not start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and, if you
are felling trees, a planned retreat path.
OPERATE YOUR SAW SAFELY
WARNING
the engine's exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and
dust from sawdust can result in serious per-
sonal injury.
S Do not operate a chain saw with one hand.
Serious injury to the operator, helpers, by-
standers or any combination of these per-
sons may result from one-handed opera-
tion. A chain saw is intended for two-
handed use.
S Operate the chain saw only in a well-venti-
lated outdoor area.
S Do not operate saw from a ladder or in a
tree, unless you are specifically trained to
do so.
