Craftsman 316.34107 Chainsaw User Manual


 
OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate a chain saw with one hand? Serious
injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any com-
bination of these persons may result from one-handed
operation. A chain saw is intended for two-handed use.
Do not operate a chain saw if you are fatigued.
Use safety footwear; snug-fitting clothing; protective
gloves; and eye, hearing, and head protection devices.
Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw
when starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep
bystanders and animals out of the work area.
Do not remove, damage or de-activate any of the safety
devices. Never use a damaged, modified, or improperly
repaired or assembled chain saw. Check their proper
operation regularly. See chain replacement under
Maintenance and Repair Instructions.
Never carry out operations or repairs on your own that
are other than routine maintenance as listed in this
manual.
Use caution when felling a tree. Make sure you have
planned an escape path when felling, and keep all
bystanders away.
Be alert; stop the machine if anyone enters the cutting
area, which is usually 3 to 4 feet around the operator.
Use caution when working in a crew to avoid injury to a
fellow worker who may enter the cutting area.
Keep these instructions. Refer to them often and use
them to instruct other users. If you loan this unit to oth-
ers, also loan these instructions to them.

available at Sears or other retailers. Use only round-
jacketed extension cords approved for outdoor use.
This tool is double-insulated. Repair or replace dam-
aged cords.
