SAFETY RULES
Fuel Handling
WARNING: Gasoline is an extremely flammable
fuel. Use extreme caution when handling gasoline
or fuel mix. Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame
near the fuel or the chainsaw (Fig. 7).
• To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with
care. It is highly flammable.
6
• Mix and store fuel in a container approved for gasoline (Fig. 8).
• Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or flames.
• Select bare ground, stop engine, and allow to cool before
refueling.
• Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel
from escaping around the cap.
• Tighten fuel cap securely after refueling. Unit vibration can
cause an improperly tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off
and spill quantities of fuel.
• Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 10 feet (3m) away from
refueling site before starting engine (Fig. 9).
• Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circumstances.
• Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the saw.
7
• Store fuel in a cool, dry, well ventilated place.
• Never place the saw in a combustible area such as dry leaves,
straw, paper, etc.
• Store the unit and fuel in an area where fuel vapors cannot
reach sparks or open flames from water heaters, electric
motors or switches, furnaces, etc.
• Never take the cap off the tank when the engine is running.
• Never use fuel for cleaning operations.
• Take care not to get fuel on your clothing.
Operation and Safety
8
WARNING: Always hold the chainsaw with both
hands when the engine is running. Use a firm grip
9
with thumbs and fingers encircling the chainsaw
handles (Fig. 10).
• 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 chain
brake engaged, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the
muffler away from your body. When transporting your chainsaw,
use the appropriate guide bar scabbard (Fig. 11). When
transporting in a vehicle, keep chain and bar covered with the
chain guard. Properly secure your saw to prevent turnover, fuel
spillage and damage to the saw.
• Apply chain brake prior to any repositioning of the operator in
the cutting area.
• Do not operate a chainsaw with one hand! Serious injury to
the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any combination of these
persons may result from one-handed operation. A chainsaw
is intended for two-handed use.
• Before you start the engine, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting any object. Never try to start the saw when the
guide bar is in a cut.
• Shut off the engine before setting down the saw. Do not leave
10
the engine running unattended.
