Page 9: Safe Operation
Hyundai Power Equipment 3. SAFE OPERATION Before you operate this chainsaw: Before using our products, please read this manual carefully to understand the proper use of your chainsaw. Never operate a chainsaw when you are tired, ill, upset, or under the influence of medication that may make you drowsy, or if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. - Page 10 Hyundai Power Equipment Keep your body warm, especially your head, neck, feet, ankles, hands and wrists. Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks. Keep the saw chain sharp and the saw, including the AV (Anti-Vibration) system, well maintained. A blunt chain will increase cutting time, and pressing a blunt chain through wood will increase the vibrations transmitted to your hands.
- Page 11 Hyundai Power Equipment Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and planned retreat path from the falling tree. Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumb and fingers gripping the chain saw handles.
- Page 12 Hyundai Power Equipment 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. When cutting a branch that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released.
- Page 13 Hyundai Power Equipment Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user you should take several steps to keep cutting jobs free from accident or injury. With a basic understanding of kickback you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
