CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
◾ ◾
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw
is operating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure that the saw
chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating
chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the chain.
◾ ◾
Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed
hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
◾ ◾
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the
saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
◾ ◾
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate
protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.
◾ ◾
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 fibers 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.
