• Do not operate chain saw while in a tree, on a ladder, on a
scaffold, or from any unstable surface.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
• Do not attempt operations beyond your capacity or
experience. Read thoroughly and understand completely all
instructions in this manual.
• Before you start chain saw, make sure saw chain is not
contacting any object.
• Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury to
the operator, helpers, or bystanders may result from one
handed operation. A chain saw is intended for two-handed use only.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or grease.
• Do not allow dirt, debris, or sawdust to build up on the motor
or outside air vents.
• Stop the chain saw before setting it down.
• Do not cut vines and/or small under brush.
• Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and
saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be
z whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
gkrinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
nown to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the
skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
Z_WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse
dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away
from face and body.
