Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may result
in personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the chain saw.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain
saw out of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
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 fit the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving
saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not
use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the
chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
