- Don’t try to operate with just one hand. One-handed operation can lead to serious injury to the operator, aids, or spectators. A chain saw is designed to be used with both hands.
- Only use the chain saw outside in a well-ventilated area.
- Unless you’ve been specifically taught to do so, do not use a saw from a ladder or in a tree.
- Before starting the engine, make absolutely sure the chain does not come into contact with anything. Whenever the guide bar is in a cut, never try to start the saw.
- Avoid putting too much pressure on the saw, particularly near the end of the cut. When the cut is finished, you may lose control if you do so. Before putting the saw down, turn off the engine.
- Except for the things indicated in the maintenance part of this manual, have all chain saw repairs performed by a qualified service dealer.
- When the throttle trigger is removed, make sure the saw chain stops moving. Refer to “Carburetor Adjustments” for help.
- Make Sure to keep the grips dry, tidy, and free of oil or fuel mixture, and tighten the covers and fasteners.
