General Safety Rules - Homelite CSP3816 - UT74123A Operator's Manual

KEEP ALL PARTS OF YOUR BODY away from the saw
chain when the engine is running.
ALWAYS CARRY THE CHAINSAW WITH THE ENGINE
STOPPED AND THE BRAKE ENGAGED, the guide bar
and saw chain to the rear, and the silencer away from
your body. When transporting the chainsaw, use the
appropriate guide bar scabbard.
DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW THAT IS DAMAGED,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely
assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving
when the throttle control trigger is released.
TURN OFF THE ENGINE before putting the chainsaw
down. DO NOT leave the engine running unattended.
As an additional safety precaution, apply the chain brake
before putting down the saw.
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.
WHEN CUTTING A LIMB under tension, be alert for
spring-back so you will not be struck when the tension
in the wood fibres is released.
KEEP THE HANDLES dry, clean and free of oil or
fuel mixture.
OPERATE THE CHAINSAW ONLY in well ventilated
areas.
DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW IN A TREE unless
you have been specifically trained to do so.
