SAFETY
18. When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar
scabbard.
19. A spark arrestor muffler approved to SAE Standard J335 is standard on
this chain saw to reduce the possibility of forest fires. Do not operate
the chain saw with a loose or defective muffler. Do not remove the
spark arrestor screen.
20. When using a chain saw 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 chain saw.
23. Never adjust the guide bar or saw chain with the engine operating.
24. When boring with the chain saw, 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 chain saw to cool before refueling, and do not smoke while
refueling.
Chain saws 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.
Always keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris during

transportation or when storing, otherwise serious property
damage or personal injury may result.
