• Never start the tool while it is lying on the ground.
• Cut at rated operating speeds (gpm).
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specifi ed by Stanley Hydraulic Tools. Chains must meet the requirements of
ANSI B175.1 for low kickback performance.
• Always be well rested and mentally alert before operating the chain saw.
• Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep bystanders and
animals out of the work area.
• Do not starting cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing and a planned escape path from a falling tree.
• Carry the saw with the unit de-energized and the bar and chain to the rear of your body.
• Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings. Twigs may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward
the operator or pull the operator off balance.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for springback so that you will not be struck when the tension on the
limb is released.
• Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil.
• Do not operate a chain saw while in a tree unless you have been specially trained to do so.
• When using tools near energized transmission lines, be sure to use only hoses labeled and certifi ed non-conductive.
• Turn off the power unit or move the hydraulic control vlave to neutral before setting the saw down.
• Use a guide bar scabbard when transporting the saw.
• Know the location of buried or covered electrical services before starting work.
• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all tool repair, maintenance and service must only be performed by au-
thorized and properly trained personnel.
