11) Maintain Chain saw with care
Inspect chain saw cords periodically and
if damaged, have repaired by authorized
service facility.
Keep cord clear of the chain and operator
at all times. Never carry saw by the cord or
pull it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep
cord from oil and sharp edges.
Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged.
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubrication and
changing accessories.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease.
12) Disconnect chain saw
Disconnect chain saw when not in use,
before servicing, and when changing
accessories and attachments, such as saw
chain and guard.
13) Outdoor use extension cords
Use only extension cords intended for use
outdoors and so marked.
14) Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate chain saw when you
are tired.
Keep all parts of the body away from the
saw chain when the motor is operating.
Before you start the saw, make sure the
saw chain is not contacting anything.
15) Check damaged parts
Before further use of the chain saw, a
guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that
it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center unless otherwise
indicated elsewhere in this instruction
manual.
Have defective switches replaced by
authorized service center.
Do not use chain saw if the switch does not
turn it on and off.
Do not operate a chain saw that is
damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not
completely and securely assembled. Be
sure that the saw chain stops moving when
the trigger is released.
16) Guard against kickback
WARNING: KICKBACK may occur
when the nose or tip of the guide bar
touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the
cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a
lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the
guide bar up and back towards the
operator. Pinching the saw chain along the
top of the guide bar may push the guide
bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to
lose control of the saw which could result
in serious injury to user.
The following precautions should be
followed to minimize kickback.
(1) Grip saw firmly.
Hold the chain saw firmly with both
hands when the motor is running. Use
a firm grip with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles.
(2) Do not over reach.
(3) Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
(4) Don’t let the nose of the guide bar
contact a log, branch, ground or other
obstruction.
(5) Don’t cut above shoulder height.
(6) Use devices such as low kickback chain,
guide bar nose guards, chain brakes and
special guide bars that reduce the risks
associated with kickback.
(7) Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer or the
equivalent.
17) Power supply
Connect chain saw to correct voltage, that
is, be sure that the voltage supplied is the
same as that specified on the nameplate of
the tool.
18) WARNING: To minimize the risk
of eye injury, always use eye
protection!
