Storing The Saw; Transporting The Chainsaw - Oregon CS250 Operator's Manual

SAFETY RULES
the chainsaw before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing or transporting the chainsaw.
Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the chainsaw
accidently.
• Do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the chainsaw or these instructions to
operate the chainsaw. Chainsaws are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
• Maintain the chainsaw. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
chainsaw's operation. If damaged,
have the chainsaw repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• Keep the saw chain sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control. See
Sharpening with PowerSharp® in this
manual.
• Use the chainsaw and accessories in
accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be
performed. Using any power tool
for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock,
never use any power tool in the rain or
extremely wet conditions.
general safety rules –
service
Other than the wear parts identified in
this manual, the chainsaw has no user
serviceable parts. Have the chainsaw
serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
chainsaw is maintained.
