Important Safety
Precautions
1. Fatigue causes carelessness. Be
more cautious before rest periods
and before the end of your shift.
2. Safety clothing required by your
safety organizations, government
regulations, or your employer
should be used; otherwise, snug
fitting clothing, safety foot-wear, and
hand and hear protection should be
worn.
3. Before filling chain oil, servicing, or
transporting your chainsaw, switch
STIHl
off the motor.
4. When using a chainsaw, a fire
extinguisher should be available.
5. Don't allow other persons or
animals close to a running chainsaw
or close to where a tree is being
felled. When felling, keep at least
2 1/2 tree lengths between yourself
and your fellow workers.
6. Plan your work, assure yourself of
an obstacle-free work area and, in
the case of felling, of an escape
path from the falling tree.
7. Follow instructions in your
operator's manual for starting the
chainsaw and control the chainsaw
with a firm grip on both handles
when it is in operation. Keep
handles dry, clean and free of oil. A
chainsaw should never be carried
with the engine running.
8. When transporting your chainsaw,
use the appropriate transportation
covers that should be available for
the guide bar and saw chain.
9. Never operate a chainsaw that is
damaged or improperly adjusted or
that is not completely and securely
assembled. Be sure that the saw
chain stops moving when the switch
is released. Never adjust the guide
bar or saw chain when the engine is
operating.
10. Do not attempt a pruning or limbing
operation in a standing tree unless
specifically trained to do so.
