Safety Precautions for
Chain Saw Users
Warning!
When using cordless electric chain
saws, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and personal injury,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
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 and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
Do not operate 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. Guard Against Electric Shock –
Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces. For example: metal pipes,
wire fences.
