Continuation of
Important Safety Precautions
14.
Keep the handles
dry,
clean and free of
oil or fuel mixture.
15.
Operate the chain saw only
in
well venti-
lated areas.
16.
Do
not operate a chain saw
in
a tree
unless specifically trained to do
so.
17.
All chain saw service, other than the
items listed
in
the Owner's Manual main-
tenance instructions, should be per-
formed by competent chain saw service
personnel.
(E.
g.,
if improper tools are
used to remove the flywheel, or if an
improper tool
is
used to hold the fly-
wheel
in
order to remove the clutch,
structural
l
damage to the flywheel could
occur which could subsequently cause
the flywheel
to
burst).
18.
Avoid kickback. Kickback
is
the upward
motion of the guide bar which occurs
when the saw chain at the nose of the
guide bar contacts
an
object. Kickback
can lead
to
dangerous loss of control of
the chain saw.
To
avoid kickback:
- Hold the chain saw firmly with both
hands.
- Don't overreach.
- Don't let the nose of the guide bar
contact a log, branch, ground or any
other obstruction.
- Cut at high engine speeds.
- Don't cut above shoulder height.
- Follow manufacturer's sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain.
- Use devices such as low kickback
chain, which may help
to
reduce the
hazards associated with kickback.
19.
When transporting your chain
saw,
use
the appropriate guide bar scabbard.
20. Narrow nose bars and low kickback
chains are designed
to
reduce the risk
of kickback injury.
