1. For safe operation
21. Never operate a saw when you
are fatigued, ill, or upset, or under
the influence of medication that
may make you drowsy, or if you
are under the influence of alcohol
or drugs.
22. Use safety footwear, snug fitting
clothing and eye, hearing and
head protection devices.
23. Always use caution when hand-
ling fuel. Wipe up all spills and
then move the chain saw at least
3m from the fueling point before
starting the engine.
3a. Eliminate all sources of sparks or
flame (i.e. smoking, open flames,
or work that can cause sparks)in
the areas where fuel is mixed,
poured, or stored.
3b. Do not smoke while handling fuel
or while operating the chain saw.
24. Do not allow other persons to be
near the chain saw when starting
or cutting. Keep bystanders sho-
uld be a minimum of 10m away
when you start of operate the
chain saw.
25. Never start cutting until you have
a clear work area, secure footing,
and a planned retreat path from
the falling tree.
26. Always hold the chain saw firmly
with both hands when the engine
is running. Use a firm grip with
thumb and fingers encircling the
chain saw handles.
27. Keep all parts of your body away
from the saw chain when the
engine is running.
28. Before you start the engine,
make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything.
29. Always carry the chain saw with
the engine stopped, the guide
bar and saw chain to the rear,
and the muffler away from your
body.
30. Always inspect the chain saw be-
fore each use for worn, loose, of
damaged parts. Never operate a
chain saw that is damaged, im-
properly adjusted, or is not com-
pletely and securely assembled.
Be sure that the saw chain stops
moving when the throttle control
trigger is released.
31. All chain saw service, other than
the items listed in the Owner's
Manual, should be performed by
competent chain saw service
personnel.(E.g., if improper tools
are used to remove the flywheel,
or if an improper tool is used to
hold the flywheel in order to re-
move the clutch, structural dam-
age to the flywheel in order to re-
move the clutch, structural dam-
age to the flywheel could occur
which could subsequently cause
the flywheel to disintegrate.)
32. Always shut off the engine be-
fore setting it down.
33. Use extreme caution when cut-
ting small size brush and sap-
lings because slender material
may catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you
off balance.
34. When cutting a limb that is un-
der tension, be alert for spring
back so that you will not be
struck when the tension in the
wood fibers is released.
