12. 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.
13. Always inspect the chain saw before each
use for worn, Ioose, 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.
14. All chain saw service, other than the items
listed in the Operator’s Manual, should be
performed by competent chain saw 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).
15. Always shut off the engine before setting it
down.
16. 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.
17. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for spring back so that you will not be
struck when the tension in the wood fibers is
released.
18. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or
fuel mixture.
