General Safety

mWARNING! When using electric/cordless yard tools,

basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce

the risk of re, electric shock, and personal injury, including the

following:

1. Keep guards in place – Protective guards should be

checked periodically to ensure they are properly tted and

in correct working order.

2. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches – Check that

adjusting wrenches are removed from the saw before

turning it on.

3. Keep work area clean and well-lit – Clear work area of

branches and limbs after each cutting session. Cluttered

areas invite accidents.

4. Do not use in dangerous environments – Do not use

power tools in damp or wet locations.

5. Do not use the chain saw in the rain.

6. Keep bystanders and children away – All bystanders,

including children and pets, should be kept a safe

distance away from the work area.

7. Do not force the tool – It will do the job eectively and

safely if it is used at the rate for which it was designed.

8. Use the right tool – Do not force the tool or any

attachment on the tool to do a job for which they were

not designed.

9. Wear proper apparel – Do not wear loose articles of

clothing or jewelry since such items may get caught

in moving parts. Use of heavy-duty rubber gloves,

substantial non-skid footwear, and close-tting clothing is

recommended when working outdoors with power tools.

10. Wear protective hair coverings to contain long hair.

11. Always wear safety glasses and ear defenders to

provide eye and ear protection – Everyday eyeglasses

only have impact resistant lenses and do not provide the

same protection as safety glasses.

12. Wear face or dust masks – If the cutting operation is

dusty, the use of a face or dust mask specially designed

to lter out microscopic particles is recommended.
