ELECTRIC CHAIN SAW SAFETY
Do not operate the unit if housings or guards are damaged. Use only
identical replacement parts when service is required. Use of non-identical
parts may create an electrical hazard resulting in serious injury or death from
electrocution.
Be sure to use the correct size
extension cord which is rated to
carry current a specic distance.
The electrical rating of the cord
must not be less than the rating of
the saw. A longer extension cord
will require a heavier gauge wire.
An undersized extension cord
will result in a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Read your Instruction Manual to
nd the recommended size of extension cord. The smaller the cord gauge
number is (AWG - American Wire Gauge), the heavier the wire gauge will be. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
WARNING! Never drape the extension
cord over the wood or log being cut. Keep
the extension cord behind you to avoid the
possibility of dangerous electric shock or
electrocution. Keep the cord away from the
chain. Work away from the power source
allowing the cord to follow behind you. Do
not touch the metal bar or chain if the chain
saw blade has cut into the extension cord.
To avoid motor overheating, remove all debris
from the air vents located on the side of the motor
housing. Always disconnect the plug before any
servicing is performed on the unit, and when the
unit is not in use. Do not leave a plugged in unit
unattended.
WARNING! Avoid dangerous situations.
Do not use in the presence of ammable
liquids or gases to avoid creating a re or
explosion and/or causing damage to unit.
WARNING! When using a gasoline
powered generator as a power source for the
chain saw, always read the generator Operator’s
Manual to learn proper grounding techniques.
An improperly grounded generator could cause
serious injury from electric shock, or death by
electrocution. Never use a generator indoors.
Use only in outdoor areas with adequate
ventilation.
Avoid accidental pullout of plug from extension cord.
Tie a loose knot with the chain saw power cord and
the extension cord. The loop in the knot will reduce
the likelihood of plug disconnection.
