Additional safety warnings for gas chainsaws
1. Interrupt your work when you feel tired. Make regular breaks to
regenerate. A moment of inattention while operating the product may result
in serious personal injury.
2. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain. Do not remove cut
material or hold material to be cut when saw chain is moving. Make sure
the product is switched off when clearing jammed material. A moment of
inattention while operating the product may result in serious personal
injury.
3. Hold the product by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw
chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the product "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
4. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the product is
operating. Before you start the product, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating products may
cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
5. Always hold the product with both hands on the handles. Holding the
product with only one hand or on parts not intended for that increases the
risk of personal injury and should never be done.
6. 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.
7. Do not operate a product in a tree. Operation of a product while up in a
tree may result in personal injury.
8. Always keep proper footing and operate the product only when standing
on a fixed, secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as
ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the product.
9. 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 product out of control.
10.Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender
material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you
