SAFETY SYMBOLS

Tool operators and maintenance personnel must always comply with the safety
precautions given in this manual and on the stickers and tags attached to the tool
and hose.
These safety precautions are given for your safety. Review them carefully before
operating the tool and before performing general maintenance or repairs.
Supervising personnel should develop additional precautions relating to the specific
work area and local safety regulations. If so, place the added precautions in the
space provided on page 5.
The model CS11 Hydraulic Chain Saw will provide safe and dependable service if
operated in accordance with the instructions given in this manual. Read and under-
stand this manual and any stickers and tags attached to the tool and hose before
operation. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
• The operator must start in a work area without bystanders. Flying debris can cause serious injury.
• Do not operate the tool unless thoroughly trained or under the supervision of an instructor. Establish a training program
for all operators to ensure safe operation.
• Always wear safety equipment such as goggles, ear and head protection, and safety shoes at all times when operating
the tool. Use gloves and aprons when necessary.
• The operator must be familiar with all prohibited work areas such as excessive slopes and dangerous terrain conditions.
• Do not inspect, clean or replace any part(s) if the hydraulic power source is connected. Do not inspect or clean the tool
while the hydraulic power source is connected. Accidental engagement of the tool can cause serious injury.
• Always connect hoses to the tool hose couplers before energizing the hydraulic power source. Be sure all hose connec-
tions are tight and are in good condition.
• Do not operate the tool at oil temperatures above 140°F/60°C. Operation at higher temperatures can cause higher than
normal temperatures at the tool which can result in operator discomfort.
• Do not operate a damaged, improperly adjusted, or incompletely assembled chain saw. Be sure that the chain stops
moving when the control trigger is released.
• Never wear loose clothing that can get entangled in the working parts of the tool.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the chain saw and maintain proper footing and balance at all times.
• Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a chain saw user, several steps must be taken to
keep your cutting jobs free from accidents or injury.
• With basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes
to accidents.
• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all tool repair, maintenance and service must only be performed by au-
thorized and properly trained personnel.
• Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle
when operating the saw. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help
reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw. Do not let go.
• Make sure the area in which you are cutting is free of obstructions. Never allow the nose of the guide bar to contact the
log, branch or any obstruction that can be accidently hit while operating the saw.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

7
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Never start the tool while it is lying on the ground.
• Cut at rated operating speeds (gpm).
• Do not overreach or cut abaove shoulder height.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by Stanley Hydraulic Tools. Chains must meet the requirements of ANSI
B175.1 for low kickback performance.
• Always be well rested and mentally alert before operating the chain saw.
• Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep bystanders and
animals out of the work area.
• Do not starting cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing and a planned escape path from a falling tree.
• Carry the saw with the unit de-energized and the bar and chain to the rear of your body.
• Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings. Twigs may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward
the operator or pull the operator off balance.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for springback so that you will not be struck when the tension on the
limb is released.
• Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil.
• Do not operate a chain saw while in a tree unless you have been specially trained to do so.
• When using tools near energized transmission lines, be sure to use only hoses labeled and certified non-conductive.
• Turn off the power unit or move the hydraulic control vlave to neutral before setting the saw down.
• Use a guide bar scabbard when transporting the saw.
• Know the location of buried or covered electrical services before starting work.
• The spiked bumper (bucking cleat) must be installed for felling operations.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
The following guidelines must be followed to prevent accidental contact with overhead electrical conductors and/or com-
munication wires and cables. (ref. ANSI Z133.1-2000)
Working in Proximity to Electrical Hazards:
An inspection shall be made by a qualified arborist to determine whether an electrical hazard exists before climbing, or
otherwise entering, or performing work in or on a tree.
Only qualified line-clearance arborists or qualified line-clearance arborist trainees shall be assigned to work where an
electrical hazard exists. Qualified line-clearance arborist trainees shall be under the direct supervision of qualified line-
clearance arborist.
A second qualified line-clearance arborists or line-clearance arborist trainees shall be within vision or voice communica-
tion during line-clearing operations aloft when line-clearance arborists or line-clearance arborist trainees must approach
closer than 10 feet (3.05 meters) to any energized electrical conductor in excess of 750 volts (primary conductor) or when:
(1) Branches or limbs being removed cannot first be cut (with a pole pruner/pole saw) to sufficiently clear electrical
conductors, so as to avoid contact.
(2) Roping is required to remove branches or limbs from such electrical conductors. This does not apply to indi-
viduals working on behalf of, or employed by, electrical system owners/operators engaged in line-clearing
operations incidental to their normal occupation.
Qualified line-clearance arborists and line-clearance arborist trainees shall maintain minimum approach distances from
energized electrical conductors in accordance with Table 1.
All other arborists shall maintain a minimum approach distance from energized electrical conductors in accordance with
Table 2.
Branches hanging on an energized electrical conductor shall be removed using non-conductive equipment.
Table 1 - Minimum approach distances from energized conductors for qualified line-clearance ar-
borists and qualified line- clearance arborist trainees.

The tie-in position should be above the work area and located in such a way that a slip would swing the arborist away
from any energized electrical conductors or other identified hazard.
While climbing, the arborist should climb on the side of the tree that is away from energized electrical conductors as re-
quired in Tables 1 and 2.
Footwear, including lineman’s overshoes, having electrical-resistant soles, shall not be considered as providing any mea-
sure of safety from electrical hazards.
Rubber gloves, with or without leather or other protective covering, shall not be considered as providing any measure of
safety from electrical hazards.
Ladders, platforms and aerial devices, including insulated aerial devices, shall be subject to minimum approach distances
in Table 1 and 2.
Aerial devices and attached equipment (such as chippers) contacting energized electrical conductors shall be considered
energized. Contact shall be avoided, except where emergency rescue procedures are being carried out. Emergency res-
cue should be performed in accordance with 4.3.
Storm Work and Emergency Conditions-Line Clearance
Line clearance shall not be performed during adverse weather conditions such as thunderstorms, high winds and snow
and ice strorms.
Qualified line-clearance arborists and qualified line-clearance arborists trainees performing line clearance in the aftermath
of a storm or under similar conditions shall be trained in the special hazards associated with this type of work.
Line-clearance operations shall be suspended when storm work or emergency conditions develop involving energized
electrical conductors. Electrical system owners/operators shall be notified immediately.
