instructions.

Chain saw safety warnings:

Keep all parts of the body
•
away from the saw chain when
the chain saw is operating. Be-
fore you start the chain saw,
make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of
inattention white operating chain saws
may cause entanglement of your cloth-
ing or body with the saw chain.
Always hold the chain saw with
•
your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the chain
saw with a reversed hand configura-
tion increases the risk of personal in-
jury and should never be done.
Hold the power tool only on the
•
insulated handle surfaces, as
the saw chain may come into
contact with concealed power
cables. Contact between the saw
chain and a live cable may render me-
tallic components live and result in an
electric shock
Wear safety glasses and ear
•
protection. Other protective
equipment for the head, hands,
legs and feet is compulsory. Ad-
equate protective clothing will reduce
personal injury by flying debris or ac-
cidentaI contact with the saw chain.
Do not operate a chain saw in a
•
tree. Operation of a chain saw white up
in a tree may result in personal in jury.
Always keep proper footing and
•
operate the chain saw only when
standing on fixed, secure and
level surface. Slippery or unstable sur-
faces such as ladders may cause a loss
of balance or control of the chain saw.
When cutting a branch that is
•
under tension be alert for spring
back. When the tension in the wood
fibres is released the spring loaded Iimb
may strike the operator and/or throw
the chain saw out of control.
Use extreme caution when cut-
•
ting brush and saplings. The slen-
der material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull
you off balance.
Carry the chain saw by the
•
front handle with the chain saw
switched off and away from
your body. When transporting
or storing the chain saw always
fit the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chain saw will reduce
the Iikelihood of accidentaI contact
with the moving saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubri-
•
cating, chain tensioning and
changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated
chain may either break or increase the
chance for kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean, and
•
free from oil and grease. Greasy,
oily handles are slippery causing loss
of control.
Cut wood only. Do not use chain
•
saw for purposes not intended.
For example: do not use chain
saw for cutting plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials.
Use of the chain saw for operations
different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation
