h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
General Chain Saw Safety Warnings
WARNING: Additional safety warnings
for chainsaws.
a ) 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.

b ) 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.
c ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw chains
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
d ) Wear eye protection. Further protective
equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet
is recommended. Adequate protective equipment will
reduce personal injury from flying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.
e ) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder,
from a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation
of a chain saw in this manner could result in serious
personal injury.
f ) Always keep proper footing and operate the chain
saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss
of balance or control of the chain saw.
g ) 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.
h ) 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.
i ) 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 scabbard. Proper handling
of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
j ) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either
break or increase the chance for kickback.
k ) 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.
l ) Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an
understanding of the risks and how to avoid
them. Serious injury could occur to the operator or
bystanders while felling a tree.
