When using a chain saw, you must always take the correct precautions. Please wear the correct personal protective equipment before you begin using your chain saw.

• Clothing must be sturdy and snug-fitting, but allow complete freedom of movement. Avoid clothing that could get caught on branches, brush or moving parts of the machine. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or jewelry. Tie up and confine long hair with a head scarf, cap or hard hat.
• You must wear chain saw pants or chaps.
• You must wear CSA approved shoes/boots.
• To reduce the risk of eye injuries, wear tight fitting safety glasses.
• If working in an area with the risk of falling objects, wear a hard hat.
• Wear sturdy, protective gloves made from a resistant material.

If you have any doubt about how to use a chain saw correctly or on assembly, we recommend speaking to your local STIHL Dealer located at www.stihldealers.ca. STIHL Dealers can offer you safety instructions on how to operate the machine. Please note you should never use a chain saw while on a ladder and should only use it in a tree if you have the appropriate qualifications.
