6. Keep all parts of your body away from
the saw chain when the engine is running.
7. Before you start the engine, make sure
that the saw chain is not contacting any-
thing.
.
Carry the chain saw with the engine
stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to
the rear, and the muffler away from your
body.
.
Do not operate a chain saw that is damag-
ed, improperly adjusted, or not com-
pletely and securely assembled. Be sure
that the saw chain stops moving when
the throttle control trigger is released.
10. Shut off the engine before setting the
chain saw down.
11.
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.
12.
When cutting a limb that is under tension,
be alert for springback so that you will not
be struck when the tension in the wood
fibers is released.
13. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of
oil or fuel mixture.
14. Operate the chain saw only in well-venti-
lated areas.
15. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree un-
less you have been specifically trained
to do so.
16. All chain saw service, other than the items
listed in the operator's manual mainte-
nance instructions, should be performed
by competent chain saw service person-
nel. (For example, if improper tools are
used to remove the flywheel or if an im-
proper tool is used to hold the flywheel
in order to remove the clutch, structural
damage to the flywheel could occur and
could subsequently cause the flywheel
to burst.)

18.
When transporting your chain saw, use
the appropriate guide bar scabbard.
Spark arrester mufflers approved to SAE
Standard J335b are Standard on ECHO
Chain saws to reduce the possibility of
forest fires. Do not operate the chain
saw with a loose or defective muffler. Do
not remove the spark arrester screen.
