The use of climbing aids, such as spikes
or climbing irons, also require special
training. Always secure the chainsaw
with a rope (tie to hinged ring) and attach
it to the lifeline. Cordon off the work area
in order to reduce the risk of injuries and
damage to bystander or property (e.g.
motor vehicles) property from falling
branches.
!Warning!
To reduce risk of
electrocution, take extra
precautions when cutting
near power lines. Have
the power switched off
before starting cutting
work in the immediate vicinity of power
lines.
Cutting Instructions
Always hold the saw firmly with both
hands when the engine is running. Place
your left hand on the front handle bar
and your right hand on rear handle and
throttle trigger. Left-handers should
follow these instructions too. Wrap your
fingers tightly around the handles,
keeping the handles cradled between
your thumb and forefinger. With your
hands in this position, you can best
oppose and absorb the push, pull and
kickback forces of your saw without
losing control (see section on reactive
forces). Make sure your chainsaw
handles and grip are in good condition
and free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
!Warning!
To reduce the risk
of serious or fatal
injury to the
operator or
bystanders, never
use the saw with one hand.
You cannot control reactive forces and
you may lose control of the saw, which
can result, e.g., in the bar and chain-
skating or bouncing along the limb or log.
This rule against one handed operation
applies also for those compact saws
designed for use in confined spaces.
Position the chainsaw in such a way that
your body is clear of the cutting attach-
ment whenever the engine is running.
Stand to the left of the plane of the
cutting attachment.
!Warning!
Do not operate your chainsaw with the
starting throttle lock engaged. Cutting
with the starting throttle lock engaged
does not permit the operator proper
control of the saw or chain speed. Begin
cutting with the saw at full throttle,
engage the bumper spike firmly in the
wood (if possible) and then continue
cutting. Always work with the bumper
spike so that you have better control of
the saw. If you work without the bumper
spike saw may pull you forwards
suddenly.
