3. Limit the number of hours of chain saw operation. Try
to fill a part of each work day with jobs other than chain
sawing.
4. lf you experience discomfort, redness and swelling of
the fingers, followed by whitening and loss of feeling,
consult your physician before further exposing yourself
to cold and vibration.
CUTTING
1. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you have
been specifically trained to do so.
2. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain
when the engine is running.
3. Use extreme caution when cutting small-size brush
and saplings because slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
4. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for
springback so that you will not be struck by the limb or
chain saw when the tension in the wood fibers is
released.
5. Cutting while on a ladder is extremely dangerous
because the ladder can slip and your control of the
chain saw is limited.
6. Working alone should be left to professionals.
7. Stop the engine before setting the chain saw down.
WOOD PRACTICES
1. Operating a chain saw safety requires a chain saw in
proper working order, sound judgement, and knowledge
of the methods which should be applied in each cutting
situation.
2. Do not let any person use your saw unless he has
read this operator’s manual and fully understands its
instructions.
3. Never let children operate the saw.
4. Use your saw only to cut wood or wood products. Do
not cut solid metal, sheet metal, plastics or any non
wood materials.
5. Stay on the uphill side when bucking or limbing logs
which might roll when cut.
6. Keep both feet on the ground. Do not work from off-the
ground positions.
