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.
