WARNING!
Always ensure your foothold. Do not stand on the log.
Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log. Especially when working on a
slope, stand on the uphill side of the log.
Before starting work, check the direction of bending force inside the log
to be cut. Always finish cutting from the opposite side of bending
direction to prevent the guide bar from being caught in the cut.
