OREGON® Cordless Tool System
CHAIN SAW MODEL CS300
• When cutting a limb that is under
tension be alert for spring back. When
the tension in the wood fibers 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.
• Use two hands when operating the
chain saw.
• The work piece, bar, and chain can be
hot after cutting. Wear gloves to avoid
burns.
• Use proper auxiliary equipment
and ensure that it is not damaged,
of adequate strength, and securely
placed. Use auxiliary equipment only for the
purpose for which it is intended.
