4. Use caution when handling fuel.
Move the chainsaw at least
10 feet (3 m) from the fueling
point before starting the engine.
5. 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.
6. Do not start cutting until you
have a clear work area, secure
footing, and a planned retreat
path from the falling tree.
7. Keep all parts of your body
away from the saw chain when
the engine is running.
8. Before you start the engine,
make sure that the saw chain
is not contacting anything.
9. Carry the chainsaw with the
engine stopped, the guide bar
and saw chain to the rear, and
the muffler away from your
body.
10. 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 trigger
is released.
11. Shut off the engine before
setting the chainsaw down.
12. Use extreme caution when
cutting small size brush and
saplings because slender mate-
rial may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or
pull you off balance.
13. When cutting a limb that is
under tension be alert for
springback so that you will not
be struck when the tension in
the wood fibers is released.
14. Keep the handles dry, clean,
and free of oil or fuel mixture.
15. Operate the chainsaw only in
well-ventilated areas.
16. Do not operate a chainsaw in a
tree unless you have been
specifically trained to do so.
17. All chainsaw service, other than
the items listed in the Owner’s
Manual maintenance instruc-
tions, should be performed by
competent chainsaw service
personnel.
(For example, if improper tools
are used to remove the
flywheel or if an improper tool
is used to hold the flywheel in
order to remove the clutch,
structural damage to the
flywheel could occur and could
be subsequently cause the
flywheel to burst).
18. When transporting your chain-
saw, use the appropriate chain
guard (scabbard).
Other important safety precautions
are contained in the body of the
Owner’s Manual.
Note:
When using a chainsaw for logging
purposes, refer to the Code of
Federal Regulations, Parts 1910
and 1928.
