GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:
Always disconnect spark
plug wire and place wire where it cannot con-
tact spark plug to prevent accidental starting
when setting up, transporting, adjusting or
making repairs except carburetor adjustments.
This chain saw for forest service is only de-
signed for cutting wood. Because a chain saw
is a high-speed wood-cutting tool, special safe-
ty precautions must be observed to reduce the
risk of accidents. Careless or improper use of
this tool can cause serious injury.
PLAN AHEAD
S Read this manual carefully until you com-
pletely understand and can follow all safety
rules, precautions, and operating instruc-
tions before attempting to use the unit.
S Restrict the use of your saw to adult users
who understand and can follow safety
rules, precautions, and operating instruc-
tions found in this manual.

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.
S Always use approved hearing protection.
Regular users should have hearing checked
regularly as chain saw noise can damage
hearing. Long- -term exposure to noise can
result in permanent hearing impairment.
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 men-
tally alert. Chain saw work is strenuous. If
you have any condition that might be aggra-
vated by strenuous work, check with your
doctor before operating a chain saw.

Safety Chaps
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.
WARNING:
an electromagnetic field during operation. This
field may under some circumstances interfere
with active or passive medical implants. To re-
duce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we rec-
ommend persons with medical implants to
consult their physician and the medical implant
manufacturer before operating this machine.
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 operation.
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.
S Make sure the chain will not make contact
with any object while starting the engine.
Never try to start the saw when the guide bar
is in a cut.
S Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of
the cut. Applying pressure can cause you to
lose control of the chain saw when the cut is
completed and may cause serious personal
injury.
S Stop the engine before setting the saw down.
S Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Always replace bar,
chain, hand guard, or chain brake immedi-
ately if it becomes damaged, broken or is
otherwise removed.
S With the engine stopped, hand carry the
chain saw with the muffler away from your
body, and the guide bar and chain to the rear,
preferably covered with a scabbard.
S Secure the machine during transport.
