6 ► DS11 User Manual
• Always be well rested and mentally alert before op-
erating the chain saw.
• Do not allow bystanders near the chain saw when
starting or cutting.
• Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area
and secure footing.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the chain saw
during operation, including loose clothing and long
hair.
• Carry the chain saw with the tool de-energized and
the bar and chain to the rear of your body.
• Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, im-
properly adjusted, or not completely and securely
assembled. Make sure the chain stops moving
when the control trigger is released.
• Keep the handle dry, clean and free of hydraulic
uid.
• Do not use the chain saw near energized transmis-
sion lines.
• Turn off the power source or move the hydraulic
control valve to neutral before setting the chain saw
down.
• Use a guide bar scabbard when transporting the
chain saw.
• Know the location of buried or covered utilities be-
fore starting work.
• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all
chain saw repair, maintenance and service must
only be performed by authorized and properly
trained personnel.
• Make sure the chain breaker and rivet spinner are
securely mounted on at, clean work surfaces.
Check the mounting screws/bolts often.
• Check all chain breaker and rivet spinner compo-
nents regularly for wear and general condition.
• Avoid contact with the saw bar rails as they can be-
come very sharp during use.
• Provide adequate lighting when operating the saw in
a darkened area or at night.
• Always keep critical tool markings, such as labels
and warning stickers legible. Always replace stick-
ers and decals that have become worn or damaged.
• Be observant of hydraulic and water hoses that lay
about the work area, especially in trenches where
they can be hidden from view due to liquids that
have accumulated within the space.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cleats that
are attached to the saw, as these are sharp and can
be a puncture hazard.
• Improper handling, use, or maintenance can result
in an oil leak or burst. Do not contact an oil leak as
high pressure oil can cause injection into the body.
• Never stand in the path of the discharge, as ejection
of material from the work piece can cause personal
injury.
• Never use the saw in a potentially explosive atmo-
sphere.
• WARNING: Hydraulic uid under pressure could
cause skin injection injury. If you are injured by
hydraulic uid, get medical attention immedi-
ately.
