Continuation of Important Safety Precautions 4. Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chainsaw at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling point before starting the engine. 5. Do not allow other persons to be near the chainsaw when starting or cutting with the chainsaw. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area. 6. Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree. 7. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running. 8. Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw chain is not contacting anything. 9. Carry the chainsaw with the engine stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler away from your body. 10. Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle trigger is released. 11. Shut off the engine before setting the chainsaw down. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture. 15. Operate the chainsaw only in well-ventilated areas. 16. Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree unless you have been specifically trained to do so. 17. All chainsaw service, other than the items listed in the Owner's Manual maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent chainsaw service personnel. (For example, 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 and could be subsequently cause the flywheel to burst). 18. When transporting your chainsaw, use the appropriate chain guard (scabbard). Other important safety precautions are contained in the body of the Owner's Manual. When using a chainsaw for logging purposes, refer to the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 1910 and 1928.
