Use safety and slip-resistant footwear, protective trousers, snug fitting clothing and
eye, hearing and head protection devices. Use the anti-vibration (AV) glove. It is
believed that a condition called Raynaud’s phenomenon, which affects the fingers of
certain individuals may be brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Loss of
colour and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly
recommended because the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is
unknown.
Always use caution when handling fuel. Wipe up all spills and then move the chain
saw at least 3 metres from the fuelling point before starting the engine.
Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame (e.g. smoking, open flames, or work that can
cause sparks) in the areas where fuel is mixed, poured, or stored. Do not smoke
while handling fuel or while operating the chain saw.
Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting the engine or
cutting a wood. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area. Children, pets,
and bystanders should be a minimum of 10 metres away when you start or operate
the chain saw.
Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and planned
retreat path from the falling tree.
Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands when the engine is running. Use a
firm grip with thumb and fingers gripping the chain saw handles.
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running.
Before you start the engine, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.
Always carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to
the rear, and the muffler away from your body.
Always inspect the chain saw before each use for worn, loose, or changed parts.
Never 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 throttle control trigger is released.
All chainsaw service, other than the items listed in the Operator’s Manual, should be
performed by competent chainsaw service personnel. (e.g., if improper tools are
used to remove the flywheel, or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in
order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could occur which
could subsequently cause the flywheel to disintegrate).
Always shut off the engine before setting it down.
