ELECTRIC CHAIN SAW SAFETY
Safety Precautions
There are added safety precautions that
must be taken regarding electric chain
saws:
DANGER! To reduce the risk
of electric shock or electrocution,
never use an electric chain saw, or
any other electrical device in rain, or
in wet locations. Serious injury can
occur due to electric shock or death by
electrocution.
WARNING! Do not use damaged
extension cords with cuts. Inspect the electric
cords before each use and replace them if
damaged. Cord insulation must be intact
with no cracks or deterioration. Use only
polarized extension cords marked as suitable
for outdoor appliances and in conjunction
with qualied, tested Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuits. Do not
use multiple cords. Plug connectors must be
undamaged.
WARNING! Always use qualied GFCI
protected circuits when using electrical
equipment outdoors. A ground fault
interrupter in the power supply line will
help prevent fatal shocks.
WARNING! Avoid unintentional
starting of the chain saw by making sure
the switch is off before plugging in the unit.
Never tie the switch down in any fashion so
as to lock the switch in position.
WARNING! Never leave a plugged in
unit unattended. It is always possible for a
child or inexperienced user to wander up to
the unit for experimentation or play.
WARNING! Do not abuse the electric
cord. Never carry the chain saw by the cord.
Do not yank the cord when disconnecting
the unit or extension cord from power
receptacles.
WARNING! Keep electric cords away
from heat, sharp edges, or any area that can
increase the possibility of cutting the cord,
and exposing operator or others to shock or electrocution.
The electric chain saw unit is made of a molded dielectric material that reduces
the risk of electric shock to the operator. Broken or cracked housings or guards
may not protect you.
