:' RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION -

A. Kickback Safety Precaution for Chain Saw Users

WARNING! 2. 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 light-

ning 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 personal injury.

4. Cut at high engine speeds.

Do not rely exclusively upon the safety de-

cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes

to accidents.

Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear

handle, and the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers en-

circling the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and

maintain control of the saw. Don't let go.

Make sure that the area in which you are

cutting is free from obstructions. Do not

specified by the manufacturer or the

equivalent.

B. Other Safety Precautions

Do not operate a chain saw when you

are fatigued.

Use safety footwear; snug-fitting cloth- ing: protective gloves: and eye, hearing,

and head protection devices.

Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain saw at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling point before starting the engine.

Do not allow other persons to be near the

chain saw when starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep bystanders and

animals out of the work area.

5. Do,not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned

retreat path from the falling tree.

6. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running.

14. Operate the chain saw only in well-venti- lated areas.

7. Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw chain is not contacting any-

thing.

Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler away from your

body.

Do not operate a chain saw that is damag-

ed, improperly adjusted, or not com-

pletely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released.

10. Shut off the engine before setting the chain saw down.

11.

Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because slender

material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off

balance.

12.

When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for springback so that you will not

be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released.

15. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree un- less you have been specifically trained

to do so.

16. All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the operator's manual mainte-

nance instructions, should be performed by competent chain saw service person-

nel. (For example, if improper tools are used to remove the flywheel or if an im- proper tool is used to hold the flywheel

in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could occur and

could subsequently cause the flywheel to burst.)

17.

When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.

18.

Spark arrester mufflers approved to SAE

Standard J335b are Standard on ECHO Chain saws to reduce the possibility of

forest fires. Do not operate the chain

saw with a loose or defective muffler. Do not remove the spark arrester screen.

13. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.
