What are the precautions for safe use of .404" pitch saw chain?

1. Wear appropriate protective equipment
Wear appropriate safety glasses, protective gloves, earplugs or earmuffs, protective shoes and protective clothing, etc.

2. Ensure that the equipment is working properly
Before operation, make sure the saw chain tension is appropriate. A chain that is too loose or too tight may affect the cutting effect and increase equipment wear.

3. Use the correct operating method
Do not operate too fast during cutting to avoid excessive burden on the saw chain, excessive wear or overheating of the equipment.Avoid excessive contact between the saw chain and hard or irregular objects, which may cause the saw chain to break or the equipment to get stuck.

4. Avoid overload operation
The cutting depth should not be too large to avoid excessive burden on the saw chain, resulting in chain jamming, damage to the saw chain or overheating of the equipment. For thicker trees or wood, cut in sections to avoid cutting too much material at one time.

5. Regularly check and maintain the saw chain
The saw chain may become blunt after a period of use and needs to be sharpened in time to ensure the cutting effect.
Clean the resin, wood chips or dirt on the saw chain after use to avoid affecting its performance. Perform regular maintenance and care on the chainsaw and saw chain to extend its service life.

6. Avoid misoperation
When operating, make sure the saw chain stops rotating before touching it. Do not approach the rotating saw chain with your hands or other objects.

7. Proper storage
When the saw chain is not in use, make sure it is stored in a dry, non-corrosive place. Avoid rusting or damage to the saw chain. When storing, avoid collision between the saw chain and other hard objects to prevent damage to the saw chain's cutting edge.

8. Dealing with chain jams
If the saw chain is stuck, stop the operation of the chainsaw or mechanical feller immediately, check and remove the stuck object. Do not pull the saw chain forcibly, let it stop smoothly, and then check and adjust it.

9. Safe operating environment
Stay highly alert during operation, avoid distraction and misoperation, and ensure safety.
