ling fuel. Wipe up all spills and then
move the chain saw at least 3m from

engine. 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. Do not smoke while handling
fuel or while operating the chain saw.

near the chain saw when starting or
cutting. Keep bystanders should be

running. Use a firm grip with thumb
and fingers encircling the chain saw

the engine stopped, the guide bar and
saw chain to the rear, and the muffler
