GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back, so that you will
not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released.
• Do not force the chainsaw. The job can be performed better if the saw is used at the
rate that it was designed to work at.
• Always use the right product for your application. The chainsaw should be used for
cutting wood only. Never use the chainsaw to cut plastic, masonry or non-wooden
building materials.
• Do not use the chainsaw for purposes other than what it is intended for.
• Store chainsaw when not in use. Chainsaw should be stored in a dry and high or
locked area, out of the reach of children.
• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently, and use them to instruct others
who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions
also.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construc-
tion activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
