CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Keep all parts of the body away from the
saw chain when the chain saw is operating.
Before you start the chain saw, 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 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increases
theriskofpersonalinjuryandshouldneverbe
done.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting
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. Opera-
tion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loaded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contactwiththemoving
saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-
sioning and changing accessories. Improp-
erly tensioned or lubricated chain may either
break or increase the chance for kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease. Greasy,oilyhandlesareslippery
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, masonry
or non-wood building materials. Use of the
chainsawforoperationsdifferentthanintended
couldresultinahazardoussituation.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF
KICKBACK
Kickbackmayoccurwhenthenoseortipofthe
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closesinandpinchesthesawchaininthecut.
Tipcontactinsomecasesmaycauseasudden
reverse reaction, kicking theguide bar upand
backtowardstheoperator.
Pinchingthesawchainalongthetopoftheguide
barmaypushtheguidebarrapidlybacktowards
theoperator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw which could result in serious
personalinjury.Donotrelyexclusivelyuponthe
safetydevicesbuiltintoyoursaw.Asachainsaw
user,youshouldtakeseveralstepstokeepyour
cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickbackistheresultoftoolmisuseand/orincor-
rectoperatingproceduresorconditionsandcan
beavoidedbytakingproperprecautionsasgiven
below:
Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickbackforcescanbecontrolledbytheop-
erator,ifproperprecautionsaretaken.Donot
let go of the chain saw.
Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. Thishelpspreventunintend-
edtipcontactandenablesbettercontrolofthe
chainsawinunexpectedsituations.
Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect re-
