12. Always shut off the engine
before setting it down.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. Never cut in high wind, bad
weather, when visibility is poor or in
very high or low temperatures.
Always check the tree for dead
branches which could fall during the
felling operation.
16. Keep the handles dry, Clean
and free of oil or fuel mixture.
17. Operate the chain saw only in
well ventilated areas. Never start or
run the engine inside a closed room
or building. Exhaust fumes contain
dangerous carbon monoxide.
18. Do not operate the chain saw in a
tree unless specially trained to do so.
19. Guard against kickback. Kickback
is the upward motion of the guide
bar which occurs when the saw
chain at the nose of the guide bar
contacts an object. Kickback can lead
to dangerous loss of control of the
chain saw.
20. When transporting your chain
saw, make sure the appropriate
guide bar scabbard is in place.
KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FOR CHAIN SAW USERS
WARNING
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches
an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain
in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the
operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar
may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Enter
of these rea- ction may cause you to lose control of the saw,
Which could result in serious personal injury.
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.
