> Reset the gripping teeth at a low point when
sawing thicker logs by pulling the chain saw slightly
backwards until the gripping teeth release, and
reposition at lower level to continue sawing. Do not
remove the saw completely from the wood.
> Do not force the chain while cutting, let the chain do
the work, using the gripping teeth to apply minimal
leverage pressure.
> Do not operate the chain saw with arms fully
extended or attempt to saw areas which are difficult
to reach, or on a ladder. Never use the chain saw
above shoulder height.
> Sawing is optimized when the chain speed remains
steady during cutting.
> Beware when reaching the end of the cut. The
weight of the saw may change unexpectedly as it
cuts free from the wood. Accidents can occur to
the legs and feet. Always remove the saw from a
wood cut while the saw is running.
> Cutting logs. Observe the following safety
instructions.
> Support logs so that the face sides at the cut do
not close in against each other, which would result
in the chain being jammed or pinched.
> Position and set short logs safety prior to sawing.
Saw only wood or wooden objects. When sawing,
always take care to avoid hitting stones, nails, etc,
as these could be thrown up or cause damage
to the chain or serious injury to the operator or
bystanders.
> Keep a running saw clear or wire fencing or the
ground. Use of the saw to thin out branches or
bushes is not approved.
> Length cuts must be carried out with care, as
leverage with the gripping teeth is not possible.
Saw at a flat angle to avoid kickback.
> When working on a slope, operate above or to the
side of the trunk or laying tree.
> Be careful not to trip over tree stumps, branches,
roots, etc.
