CAUTION
Stuffing ears with cotton is not recommended.
•
All persons who make part of their living using chain
saws should be tested periodically for hearing
deterioration.
•
Always wear a cap or hat when working with a chain
saw. A safety hard hat is highly recommended when
felling or working under trees, or when objects can fall
on you.
•
Wear heavy duty, non-slip gloves for improved grip,
and also for protection against cold and vibration.
•
Safety tip shoes or boots with non-slip sole should be
worn.
PERSONAL EQUIPMENT
•
Always wear approved goggles to protect your eyes.
Wood chips, dust, snapping branches and other debris
can be thrown by the cutting chain into the operator’s
facial area.
Goggles may also offer limited protection in the event
of the cutting chain hitting the operator in the eye area.
If conditions warrant that a ventilated face shield be
worn, goggles must be worn underneath it.
•
ECHO recommends wearing hearing protection at all
times.
If not followed, hearing loss can occur.
You should reduce the risk of hearing damage by
wearing either “headset” type protectors or ear plugs
which are approved by an authorized organization.
•
Never wear loose clothing, unbuttoned jackets, flared
sleeves and cuffs, scarves, tie-strings, neckties, cords,
chains, jewelry, etc. which could snag the saw chain or
underbrush.
•
Clothing should be of sturdy, protective material. It
should be snug-fitting to resist snagging, but roomy
enough for freedom of movement.
•
Trouser legs should not be flared or cuffed, and should
be either tucked into the boot tops or trimmed short.
•
Safety vests, leg chaps and logger’s pants of ballistic
material are available.
It is the operator’s responsibility to wear such
additional protection if conditions warrant it.
•
Never operate a chain saw when you are alone.
Arrange to have someone remain within calling
distance in case you need help.

The fuel tank may be under pressure. Always loosen
the fuel cap and wait for pressure to be equalized
before removing the cap.

Fill the fuel tank outdoors over bare ground and install
the fuel cap securely. Do not pour fuel indoors.

a chain saw, or just working in the forest, presents
dangers.
