WARNING: Always disconnect
spark plug wire when making repairs

cause a chain saw is a high-speed

must be observed to reduce risk of ac-
cidents. Careless or improper use of
this tool can cause serious injury.

• Wear protective gear. Always use
steel-toed safety footwear with non-slip
soles; snug-fitting clothing; heavy-duty,
non-slip gloves; eye protection such
as non-fogging, vented goggles or
face screen; an approved safety hard
hat; and sound barriers (ear plugs or
mufflers) to protect your hearing. Reg-
ular users should have hearing
checked regularly as chain saw noise
can damage hearing.
• Secure hair above shoulder length. Do
not wear loose clothing or jewelry; they
can get caught in moving parts.
• Keep all parts of your body away
from the chain when the engine is
running.
• Keep children, bystanders, and ani-
mals at least 30 feet (10 meters)
away from the work area when start-
ing and using the saw.
• Do not handle or operate a chain saw
when you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or
if you have taken alcohol, drugs, or
medication. You must be in good
physical condition and mentally alert. If
you have any condition that might be
aggravated by strenuous work, check
with doctor before operating.
• Do not start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and
especially if you are felling a tree, a
retreat path.
