CS-2511T
13. When cutting a limb 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.
14. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.
15. Operate the chainsaw only in well ventilated areas.
16. Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree unless you have been specifically
trained to do so.
17. All chain saw service, other than items listed in the Instruction 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 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 chainsaw a fire extinguisher should be available.
21. When felling, keep at least 2 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 sawchain when 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.
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.
