FOR ALL DOuBLE-INSuLAtED CHAIN
SAwS
1) Replacement Parts
10
10
When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
2) Polarized Plugs
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
FOR ALL CHAIN SAwS
1) Keep work area clean.
Cluttered areas invite injuries.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear
work area, secure footing, and a planned
retreat path from the falling tree.
2) Consider work area environment.
Use extreme caution when cutting small
size brush and saplings because the
slender material may catch the saw chain
Electric chain saw
and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless
specifically trained to do so.
When cutting a limb that is under tension
be alert for spring back so that you will not
be struck when the tension in the wood
fibers is released.
Don't expose chain saw to rain.
Don't use chain saw in damp or wet
locations.
Do not use chain saw in presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
3) Protect yourself against electric shock
Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces. For example: metal pipes, wire
fences.
4) Keep children away
Do not let visitors contact the chain saw or
extension cord.
All visitors should be kept away from work
area.
5) Store idle chain saw
When not in use, chain saws should be
stored in a dry, and high or locked-up place
– out of the reach of children.
When storing saw, use a scabbard or
carrying case.
6) Don't force chain saw
It will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was intended.
7) Use right tool

Don't use chain saw for purpose not
intended – for example – Don't use chain
saw for cutting plastic, masonry, non-wood
building materials.
8) Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
