GENERAL SAFETY RULES
6. Follow the manufacturer ʼs sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
7. Use only replacement bars and chains specified by
the manufacturer or the equivalent.
DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW WITH ONE
■
HAND. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, and/or
bystanders may result from one-handed operation.
A chainsaw is intended for two-handed use.
DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW WHEN YOU ARE
■
FATIGUED. Never operate a chainsaw when you
are tired or under the influence of medication, drugs,
or alcohol.
USE SAFETY FOOTWEAR. Wear snug-fitting
■
clothing, protective gloves, and eye, hearing, and
head protection devices.
DO NOT STAND ON ANY UNSTABLE SURFACE
■
while using your chainsaw: that includes ladders,
scaffolds, trees, etc.
USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING FUEL. Move the
■
chainsaw at least 50 feet (15 m) from the refuelling
point before starting the engine.
DO NOT ALLOW OTHER PERSONS to be near the
■
chainsaw when starting or cutting with the chainsaw.
Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area.
DO NOT START CUTTING until you have a clear
■
work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path
from the falling tree.
KEEP ALL PARTS OF YOUR BODY away from the
■
saw chain when the engine is running.
ALWAYS CARRY THE CHAINSAW WITH THE
■
ENGINE STOPPED AND THE BRAKE ENGAGED,
the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the
silencer away from your body. When transporting the
chainsaw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.
DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW THAT IS
■
DAMAGED, improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops
moving when the throttle control trigger is released.
TURN OFF THE ENGINE before putting the
■
chainsaw down. DO NOT leave the engine running
unattended. As an additional safety precaution,
apply the chain brake before putting down the saw.
USE EXTREME CAUTION when cutting small-size
■
brush and saplings because slender material may
catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or
pull you off balance.
WHEN CUTTING A LIMB UNDER TENSION,
■
be alert for spring-back so that you will not be struck
when the tension in the wood fibres is released.
