metres away from the work area. Do not allow other people or
animals to be near the chainsaw when starting or operating
the chainsaw. If necessary use warning signs to keep on lookers

4. Carefully plan your sawing operation in advance. Do not start
cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing and
if you are felling trees, a planned retreat path. Do not operate
the chainsaw near a naked flame or spilled fuel. After refuelling
always wipe off any spilled fuel, move the chainsaw away from
the fuelling point before starting the engine.
