WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND you do not attempt to
operate the saw while IN A TREE, ON A LADDER or
ON ANY OTHER UNSTABLE SURFACE. If you elect
to do so, be advised that these positions are
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
®
DON'T CUT IN AWKWARD POSITIONS (off-balance,
out-stretched arms, one-handed, etc.).
WHEN CUTTING A LIMB THAT IS UNDER TENSION
be alert for springback so that you will not be struck
when the tension is released.
®
USE EXTREME CAUTION when cutting small size
brush and saplings because slender material may
catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you, or
pull you off balance.
®
VIBRATION - Avoid prolonged operation of your
chain saw and rest periodically, especially if your
hands or arms start to have a loss of feeling, swell or
become difficult to move. These conditions can
