Continuation of Important Safety Precautions 14. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture. 15. Operate the chain saw only in well ventilated areas. 16. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless specifically trained to do so. 17. All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the Owner's Manual maintenance instructions, 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 burst). 18. Avoid kickback. Kickback is the upward motion of the guide bar which occurs when the saw chain at the nose of the guide bar contacts an object. Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw. To avoid kickback: - Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands. - Don't over reach. - Don't let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, ground or any other obstruction. - Cut at high engine speeds. - Don't cut above shoulder height. - Follow manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. - Use devices such as low kickback chain, which may help to reduce the hazards associated with kickback. 19. When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.

lead to dangerous loss of control of
the chain
saw.
To
avoid kickback:
-
Hold the chain saw firmly with both
hands.
-
Don't over reach.
-
Don't let the nose of the guide bar
contact a log, branch, ground or any
other obstruction.
-
Cut
at
high engine speeds.
-
Don't cut above shoulder height.
-
Follow
manufacturer's
sharpening
and
maintenance instructions for the
saw chain.
-
Use devices such
as
low kickback
chain, which may help to reduce the
hazards associated with kickback.
