Stanley Black & Decker CS05 Chainsaw User Manual


 
6 ► CS05/CS06 User Manual
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Only use replacement bars and chains specied
by Stanley Hydraulic Tools. Chains must meet
the requirements of ANSI B175.1 for low kick-
back performance.
Always be well rested and mentally alert before op-
erating the chain saw.
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 starting cutting until you have a clear work
area, secure footing and a planned escape path
from a falling tree.
Carry the saw with the unit de-energized and the bar
and chain to the rear of your body.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush
and saplings. Twigs may catch the saw chain and
be whipped toward the operator or pull the operator
off balance.
When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert
for springback so that you will not be struck when
the tension on the limb is released.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil.
Do not operate a chain saw while in a tree unless
you have been specially trained to do so.
When using tools near energized transmission lines,
be sure to use only hoses labeled and certied non-
conductive.
Turn off the power unit or move the hydraulic control
valve to neutral before setting the saw down.
Use a guide bar scabbard when transporting the
saw.
Know the location of buried or covered electrical
services before starting work.
To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all
tool repair, maintenance and service must only be
performed by authorized and properly trained per-
sonnel.
