General chain saw safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings for
chainsaws
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
u
when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the
chainsaw, 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 chain saw.
Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the
u
rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand configuration
increases the risk of personal injury and should never be
done.
Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping surfaces
u
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the chain saw "live'" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for
u
hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury
from flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, from
u
a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of a chain
saw in this manner could result in serious personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw
u
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 chainsaw.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
u
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.
u
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
u
saw switched off and away from your body. When
transporting or storing the chainsaw 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
u
and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance
for kickback
Cut wood only. Do not use chainsaw for purposes not
u
intended. For example: do not use the chainsaw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materi-
als.
(Original instructions)
Use of the chainsaw for operations different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an
u
understanding of the risks and how to avoid them.
Serious injury could occur to the operator or bystanders
while felling a tree.
Follow all instructions when clearing jammed mate-
u
rial, storing or servicing the chain saw. Make sure the
switch is off and the battery pack is removed. Unex-
pected actuation of the chain saw while clearing jammed
material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings for co
pact chainsaws.
The intended use is described in this instruction manual. Do
not use the tool for purposes not intended; for example do not
use the tool to fell trees. The use of any accessory or attach-
ment or performance of any operation with this tool other than
those recommended in this instruction manual may present a
risk of personal injury.
Wear close fitting and protective clothing including
u
a safety helmet with visor/goggles, ear protectors,
non- skid safety footwear, protective bib trousers and
strong leather gloves.
Always position yourself out of the path of falling
u
branches.
The safe distance between a branch to be felled and
u
bystanders, buildings and other objects is at least
2 1/2 times the length of the branch. Any bystander,
building or object within this distance is at risk from being
struck by the falling branch.
Pre-plan a safe exit from falling branches. Ensure the
u
exit route is clear of obstacles that would prevent or hinder
movement. Remember wet grass and freshly cut bark is
slippery.
Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in
u
case of an accident.
Do not use the tool while standing in a tree, on a lad-
u
der or on any other unstable surface.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
u
Hold the tool firmly with both hands when the motor is
u
running.
Do not let the moving chain contact any object at the
u
tip of the guide bar.
Start cutting only with the chain moving at full speed.
u
Do not attempt to enter a previous cut. Always make a
u
fresh cut.
Watch for shifting branches or other forces that could
u
close a cut and pinch or fall into the chain.
Do not attempt to cut a branch when the diameter of
u
the branch exceeds the cutting length of the tool.
