4. Use caution when handling fuel.
Move the chainsaw at least 10 feet
(3 m) from the fueling point before
starting the engine.
5. Do not allow other persons to be
near the chainsaw when starting or
cutting with the chainsaw. Keep
bystanders and animals out of the
work area.
6. Do not start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and
a planned retreat path from the
falling tree.
7. Keep all parts of your body away
from the saw chain when the engine
is running.
8. Before you start the engine, make
sure that the saw chain is not
contacting anything.
9. Carry the chainsaw with the engine
stopped, the guide bar and saw
chain to the rear, and the muffler
away from your body.

10. Do not operate a chainsaw that is
damaged, improperly adjusted, or
not completely and securely
assembled. Be sure that the saw
chain stops moving when the
throttle trigger is released.
11. Shut off the engine before setting
the chainsaw down.
12. Use extreme caution when cutting
small size brush and saplings
because slender material may catch
the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
13. When cutting a limb that is under
tension be alert for springback so
that you will not be struck when the
tension in the wood fibers is
released.
14. Keep the handles dry, clean, and
free of oil or fuel mixture.
15. Operate the chainsaw only in well-
ventilated areas.
16. Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree
unless you have been specifically
trained to do so.
17. All chainsaw service, other than the
items listed in the Owner's Manual
maintenance instructions, should be
performed by competent chainsaw
service personnel.(For example, if
improper tools are used to remove
the flywheel or if an improper tool is
used to hold the flywheel in order to
remove the clutch, structural
damage to the flywheel could occur
and could subsequently cause the
flywheel to burst).
18. When transporting your chainsaw,
use the appropriate chain guard
(scabbard).
Other important safety precautions are
contained in the body of the Owner's
Manual, especially in the Safety
Precautions.
Note:
When using a chainsaw for logging
purposes, refer to the Code of Federal
Regulations, Parts 1910 and 1928.
