SPECIAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR THE TOOL
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating.
Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.
A moment of inattention while operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or
body with the saw chain.
Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal
injury and should never be done.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris
or accidental contact with the saw chain.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may result in
personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure and
level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control
of the chain saw.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood
fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of
control.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your
body. When transporting or storing the chain saw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling
of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use chain
saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for
operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHAIN SAW USERS
How to read symbols and colors (Fig. 1)
Fig. 1
Warning: RED Used to warn that an unsafe procedure should not be performed.
WARNING
1.
Avoid bar nose contact
2.
Beware of kick back.
3.
Do not attempt to hold saw with one hand
GREEN RECOMMENDED PRCEDURE
4.
Hold saw properly with both hands.
DANGER! BEWARE OF KICKBACK!
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and
back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards
the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious
personal injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
