Proper work practices
• Use a right-hand grip only to hold your chain saw; right
hand on the trigger, left hand on the front handle. NEVER
operate with one hand!
• Keep your left arm straight for better control.
• Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands. Keep your
thumb firmly wrapped around the front handle.
• Stand to the side of the chain saw, never behind it.
• Run the engine at full throttle.
• Use a low-kickback saw chain and a reduced-kickback
guide bar whenever possible.
• Keep the chain saw, saw chain, guide bar and drive
sprocket properly maintained.
• Stand with your feet well braced and your body balanced.
• Cut only wood with your chain saw. Do not cut any other
materials.
• Plan for a clear retreat from a falling tree or branches.
CAUTION
• Keep yourself clear of the work.
Before cutting
check
for hazards like tree limbs, power lines, dead trees, etc.
Calculate how the object being cut will fall. Determine
if the chain saw may be thrown unexpectedly by the
movement of the cut material. If possible, position yourself
to avoid injury, away from the natural lean of the tree.
• Never cut above shoulder level.
• Never cut while in a tree or while on a ladder.
• Keep others a minimum of two tree lengths away from the
cutting area.
• Do not allow others to hold wood during cutting.
• Do not operate a chain saw when fatigued or otherwise
impaired.
• When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate
guide bar cover.
