GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the chainsaw is operating. Before
you start the chainsaw, make sure the saw
chain is not in contact with anything. A moment
of inattention while operating chainsaws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw
chain.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain many
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand
at the rear handle and your left hand at the front
handle. Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury
and should never be done.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury from flying debris
or accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate chainsaw while up in a tree. Op-
eration of a chainsaw while up in a tree may result
in personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the
chainsaw only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces
such as ladders may cause loss of balance or
control of the chainsaw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert of spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released, the spring loaded limb may
strike the operator and/or throw the chainsaw out
of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
• Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the
chainsaw switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the chainsaw, always fit
the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chainsaw
