General chain saw safety warnings
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the chain saw is operating. Before
you start the chain saw, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chain saws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the
saw chain.
2. Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a

3. Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the chain
saw "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
4. Wear eye protection. Further protective equip-
ment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective equipment

11. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.
12. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for pur-
poses not intended. For example: do not use
chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials. Use of the
