- DO NOT start cutting until you have a clear
work area, secure footing and a planned
retreat path from falling trees or branches.
- Keep all parts of your body away from the
saws chain when the engine is running.
- Before you start the engine, make sure that
the chain is not in contact with anything.
- Carry the chainsaw with the engine
stopped, the chain bar and saw chain facing
rearwards and with the exhaust away from
your body.
- NEVER use a chainsaw which is damaged,
incorrectly set, incomplete or loosely
assembled. Make sure that the chain
rotation stops when the chain brake is
applied.
- Shut off the engine before setting the
chainsaw down.
- Use extreme caution when cutting small
bushes and saplings, as slender material
may catch in the chainsaw and be whipped
towards you or pull you off balance.
- When cutting a limb that is under tension,
be alert for spring-back so that you will not
be struck when the tension in the wood
fibres is released.
- Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or
fuel mixture.
- Operate the chainsaw only in well-ventilated
areas.
