Chain saw safety warnings
■
Keep all parts of the body away from the
saw chain when the chain saw is operat-
ing. Before you start the chain saw, make
sure the saw chain is not contacting any-
thing. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing chain saws may cause entanglement of
your clothing or body with the saw 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 in-
creases the risk of personal injury and should
never be done.
■
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
2500117_b
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contact-
ing 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 protec-
tion. Further protective equipment for
head, hands, legs and feet is recommend-
ed. 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. Oper-
ation 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 load-
ed 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 con-
tact with the moving saw chain.
■
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories. Im-
properly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kick-
back.
■
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slip-
pery causing loss of control.
■
Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do
not use chain saw for cutting plastic, ma-
sonry or non-wood building materials Use
of the chain saw for operations different than
intended could result in a hazardous situa-
tion.
