Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling
the chain saw handles. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any combination of
these persons may result from one-handed operation. A chain saw is intended for two-handed
use.
•
Guard against electric shock - Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as metal pipes
and wire fences. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely
assembled. Chain should slow to a stop when the switch trigger is released. If the chain continues
to turn after the switch trigger has been released, have the unit serviced by an authorized service
center.
•
Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,

tree or work piece involved. For example, felling a tree requires a larger work area
than making bucking cuts.
