GENERAL SAFETY RULES
7. Use only replacement bars and chains specifi ed by
the manufacturer or the equivalent.
■ DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW WITH ONE
HAND. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, and/or
bystanders may result from one-handed operation. A
chainsaw is intended for two-handed use.
■ DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW WHEN YOU ARE
FATIGUED. Never operate a chainsaw when you are
tired or under the infl uence of medication, drugs, or
alcohol.
■ USE SAFETY FOOTWEAR. Wear snug-fitting
clothing, protective gloves, and eye, hearing, and head
protection devices.
■ DO NOT STAND ON ANY UNSTABLE SURFACE
while using your chainsaw: that includes ladders,
scaffolds, trees, etc.
■ USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING FUEL. Move the
chainsaw at least 50 feet (15 m) from the refuelling
point before starting the engine.
■ DO NOT ALLOW OTHER PERSONS to be near the
chainsaw when starting or cutting with the chainsaw.
Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area.
■ DO NOT START CUTTING until you have a clear work
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from
the falling tree.
■ KEEP ALL PARTS OF YOUR BODY away from the
saw chain when the engine is running.
■ ALWAYS CARRY THE CHAINSAW WITH THE
ENGINE STOPPED AND THE BRAKE ENGAGED, the
guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the silencer
away from your body. When transporting the chainsaw,
use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.
■ DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW THAT IS
DAMAGED, improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops
moving when the throttle control trigger is released.
■ TURN OFF THE ENGINE before putting the chainsaw
down. DO NOT leave the engine running unattended.
As an additional safety precaution, apply the chain
brake before putting down the saw.
■ 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.
■ WHEN CUTTING A LIMB under tension, be alert for
spring-back so that you will not be struck when the
tension in the wood fi bres is released.
■ KEEP THE HANDLES dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel
mixture.
■ OPERATE THE CHAINSAW ONLY in well-ventilated
areas.
■ DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW IN A TREE unless
you have been specifi cally trained to do so.
■ ALWAYS HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AVAILABLE
WHEN USING CHAIN SAW.
■ FOLLOW THE SHARPENING and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
■ USE ONLY THE REPLACEMENT GUIDE BARS and
low kick-back chains specifi ed for your saw.
■ DO NOT adapt your powerhead to a bow guide or use
it to power any attachments or devices not listed for
your saw.
■ SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use to instruct other users. If you lend
someone this tool, lend them these instructions also.

■ DO NOT CUT VINES and/or small undergrowth (less

■ MUFFLER SURFACES ARE VERY HOT during and
after operation of the chainsaw; keep all body parts

contact is made with the muffl er.
■ ALWAYS HOLD THE CHAINSAW WITH BOTH
HANDS when the engine is running. Use a fi rm grip with
thumbs and fi ngers encircling the chainsaw handles.
