General Power Tool Safety Warnings

m WARNING!

Read all safety warnings and

instructions.

All users of this chain saw must rst

carefully read this maintenance and operating manual and

familiarize themselves fully with all of the controls for its

correct operation.

Safety Rules

1. Replacement parts – When servicing, use only

identical replacement parts.

2. Polarized plugs – To reduce the risk of electrical

shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other). The plug will t into a polarized

outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the

outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a

qualied electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not

change the plug in any way.

3. Keep the work area clean – Cluttered areas invite

injuries. Do not start cutting until you have a clear work

area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from

falling tree limbs.

4. Consider the work area environment – Use extreme

caution when cutting small size brush and saplings

because the slender material may catch the saw chain

and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

• Do not operate the chain saw in a tree unless

you are specically trained to do so.

• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be

cautious of spring back so that you will not be

struck when the tension in the wood bers is

released.

• Do not expose the chain saw to rain.

• Do not use the chain saw in damp or wet locations.

• Do not use the chain saw in the presence of

ammable liquids or gases.

5. Guard against electric shock – Avoid body contact

with grounded surfaces, such as metal pipes and wire

fences.

6. Keep children and bystanders away – Do not let

children, pets, or other bystanders contact the chain

saw or extension cord. All spectators should be kept a

safe distance away from the work area.

7. Store idle chain saw – When not in use, chain saws

should be stored in a dry and high or locked-up place

out of the reach of children. When storing the chain

saw, use a scabbard or carrying case.

8. Do not force chain saw – It will do the job better and

with less likelihood of injury if it is used at the rate for

which it was intended.

9. Use the right tool – Cut wood only. Do not use the

chain saw for purposes other than those for which it is

intended. For example, do not cut plastic, masonry, or

non-wood building materials.

10. Dress properly – Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. They can get caught in moving parts. Rubber

gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when

working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to

contain long hair.

11. Use safety glasses – Also use safety footwear,

snug-tting clothing, protective gloves, hearing and

head protection.

12. Carry the saw properly – Carry the chain saw by

the front handle with the saw stopped, nger off the

switch, and the guide bar and saw chain pointed

toward the rear.

13. Maintain the chain saw with care – Inspect the chain

saw cord periodically and, if damaged is found, have it

repaired by an authorized service facility.

• Keep the cord clear of the saw chain and operator

at all times. Never carry the chain saw by the

cord or pull the cord to disconnect it from the

receptacle. Keep the cord away from oil and sharp

edges.

• Inspect extension cords periodically and replace

them if damaged.

• Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer

performance.

• Follow instructions for lubricating and changing

accessories.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and

grease.

m Never saw completely through the trunk. Always leave a hinge (F). The hinge guides the tree. If the trunk is completely cut through, control over the felling direction is lost. Insert a wedge or felling lever in the cut (D) well before the tree becomes unstable and starts to move. This will prevent the guide bar from binding in the felling cut if you have misjudged the fall direction. Make sure no bystanders have entered the range of the falling tree before you push it over.
