When usmc
3erated chain saw, basic
safety precau
to reduce risk of fire,
electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 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 saw chain.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces
only,
because the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring or its own
cord. 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 wifl 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 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 fikelihood 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:
