be observed to reduce the risk of accidents.
Careless or improper use of this tool can
cause serious injury.

pletely understand and can follow all safety
rules, precautions, and operating instruc-

S Wear protective gear. Always use steel-toed
safety footwear with non-slip soles; snug-fit-
ting 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. Secure hair
above shoulder length.

SAFETY RULES

S Always use approved hearing protection.
Regular users should have hearing
disconnect
checked regularly as chain saw noise can
damage hearing. Long- -term exposure to
noise can result in permanent hearing im-
pairment.
S Keep all parts of your body away from the
chain when the engine is running.
S Keep children, bystanders, and animals a
minimum of 10 meters away from the work
area. Do not allow other people or animals
to be near the chain saw when starting or
operating the chain saw.
S 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. Chain saw work is
strenuous. If you have any condition that
might be aggravated by strenuous work,
check with your doctor before operating a
Safety Hat chain saw.
S Carefully plan your sawing operation in ad-
vance. Do not start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and, if you
are felling trees, a planned retreat path.
OPERATE YOUR SAW SAFELY
WARNING
the engine's exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and
dust from sawdust can result in serious per-
sonal injury.
S Do not operate a chain saw with one hand.
Serious injury to the operator, helpers, by-
standers or any combination of these per-
sons may result from one-handed opera-
tion. A chain saw is intended for
two-handed use.
S Operate the chain saw only in a well-venti-
lated outdoor area.
S Do not operate saw from a ladder or in a
tree, unless you are specifically trained to
do so.
