Chain saw safety warnings
Keep all parts of the body away
–
from the saw chain when the chain
saw is operating. Before you start
the chain saw, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything. A
moment of inattention while
operating chain saws may cause
entanglement of your clothing 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 configuration
increases the risk of personal injury
and should never be done.
Hold the power tool by insulated
–
gripping surfaces only, because the
saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric
shock.
Wear safety glasses and hearing
–
protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will
reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the
saw chain.
Do not operate a chain saw in a
–
tree. Operation of a chain saw while
up in a tree may result in personal
injury.
Always keep proper footing and
–
operate the chain saw only when
standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable
surfaces such as ladders may
cause a loss of balance or control of
the chain saw.
When cutting a limb that is under
–
tension be alert for spring back.
When the tension in the wood fibers
is released the spring loaded limb
may strike the operator and/or throw
the chain saw out of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting
–
brush and saplings. The slender
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 likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving
saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating,
–
chain tensioning and changing
accessories. Improperly tensioned
or lubricated chain may either break
or increase the chance for kickback.
