Your Planning and Preparation

Do not handle or operate a chain saw when you

are fatigued, tired, or upset; or if you are under

the influence of alcoholic beverages, medi

cation, or drugs. You must be in good phy

sical condition and mentally alert.

Always wear personal protective gear. Wear safety

footwear, protective gloves, snug-fitting clothing,

and eye, hearing and head protection devices.

Use caution when handling fuel. No smoking

when fueling or operating the saw. Handle fuel

only in open, well-ventilated areas. Wipe up spills.

Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel

mixture.

Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, is

improperly adjusted, or is not completely and

securely assembled. Keep all screws and fasten

ers tight.

Move the chain saw at least 10 feet (3m) from the

fueling point, before starting the engine.

Make sure chain is sharp and at proper tension.

Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the

guide bar and chain covered and to the rear, and

the muffler away from your body.

Before you let anyone use your saw, be certain

the person understands and can apply the safety

rules, precautions, and operating instructions

found in this manual.

All chain saw service other than the items listed in the oper

ator’s manual maintenance instructions, should be performed

by competent chain saw service personnel.

Conditions in Your Work Area

Do not attempt to cut if the weather is bad—strong wind,

rain, snowing, or other adverse weather conditions. You

need good visibility, so don’t cut at night.

Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas. Don’t

operate it in an enclosed, confined area because you need

room to perform the cutting and good ventilation.

Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure

footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree (if

you are cutting down trees).

Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw wh

starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep bystanders a

animals out of the work area.

Operate the chain saw on level, solid ground. DO NOT op

ate the saw from a ladder.

Do not operate the chain saw in a tree unless you have be

specifically trained to do so.

Never carry your saw while climbing. You need both har

for safe climbing.
