PREPARATION FOR CUTTING
Refer to “Important Safety Instructions” earlier in this manual for appropriate safety
equipment.
Work Area Precautions
Cut only wood or materials made from wood; do not cut sheet metal, plastics,
masonry, or non-wood building materials.
Never allow children to operate the chain saw.
Allow no person to use this chain saw who has not read this Operating Manual or
received adequate instructions for the safe and proper use of this chain saw.
When felling a tree, keep everyone - helpers, bystanders, children, and animals -
a safe distance from the cutting area. During felling operations, the safe distance
should be a least twice the height of the largest trees in the felling area. During
bucking operations, keep a minimum distance of 4.5 m between workers. Trees
should not be felled in a manner that would endanger any person, strike any
utility line or cause any property damage. If a tree does make contact with any
utility line, the utility company should be notied immediately.
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent being pulled off balance.
Do not cut above chest height, as a saw held higher is difcult to control against
kickback forces.
Do not fell trees near electrical wires or buildings.
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for you to see clearly.
