17. All chainsaw service, other than items listed in the operator's manual
maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent 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 subsequently cause the flywheel to burst.
18. When transporting your chainsaw, use the appropriate guide bar cover.
19. A spark arrester muffler approved to SAE Standard J335 is standard on
this chainsaw to reduce the possibility of forest fires. Do not operate the
chainsaw with a loose or defective muffler. Do not remove the spark
arrester screen.
20. When using a chainsaw a fire extinguisher should be available.
21. When felling, keep at least two tree lengths between yourself and your
fellow workers.
22. Follow instructions in your operator's manual for starting the chainsaw.
23. Never adjust the guide bar or saw chain with the engine operating.
24. When boring with the chainsaw, the initial cut should be introduced with
the lower part of the nose (tip) until the hole is sufficiently large so as to
introduce the entire nose (tip) of the guide bar. This technique should
reduce the danger of kickback.
25. Allow your chainsaw to cool before refueling, and do not smoke while
refueling.
Chainsaws shall be used in accordance with the operating
instructions and safety precautions listed in the operator's
manual(s). It shall be the responsibility of the owner to see that
such instructions and precautions are given to every operator
who uses the saw.
During operation, the muffler or catalytic muffler and
surrounding cover become hot.
Never suspend the saw on a lanyard with the engine
running.
Always use the saw from the right-hand side of your body –
NEVER from the left side.
Always wear proper safety clothing to protect your lower
body from sharp saw chain and hot muffler.
