Do not rely only on the safety devices built into your saw. As a Chain saw user you
should take several steps to keep cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
With a basic understanding of kickback you can reduce or eliminate the element of
surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
Keep a good grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle, and
the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with
thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce
kickback and maintain control of the saw.
Make certain that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not
let the nose of the guide bar contact a log/,branch, or any other obstruction which
could be hit while you areoperating the saw.
Cut at high engine speed.
Never operate the chainsaw without a front guard; thisprotects youfrom kickback
Remember the chain brake is there to reduce the risk of injury.
Always maintain the chain brake.
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
Follow manufactures sharpening and maintenance instructions for saw chain.
Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the
equivalent.
