Know your tool. Read the operator's manual carefully.
■
Learn the saw's applications and limitations as well as
the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide

bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some
cases may cause a lightning-fast reverse reaction,
kicking the guide bar up and back toward the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may push the guide bar rapidly back toward the
operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to

lose control of the saw, which could result in serious
personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into the saw. As a chainsaw user, you
should take every step to keep your cutting jobs free
from accident and injury.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce
or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents.
Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands when
the engine is running. Place your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle with your
thumbs and fingers encircling the chainsaw handles.
A firm grip together with a stiff left arm will help you
maintain control of the saw if kickback occurs.
Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free
from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar
contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction
that could be hit while you are operating the saw.
Always cut with the engine running at full speed. Fully
squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain a steady
cutting speed.
Do not overreach or cut above chest height.
Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer or the equivalent.
Do not operate a chainsaw with one hand. Serious
injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, may result
from one-handed operation. A chainsaw is intended for
two-handed use.
Do not operate a chainsaw when you are fatigued.
Fatigue causes carelessness. Be more cautious before
rest periods and towards the end of your shift. Never
operate a chainsaw when under the influence of
medication, drugs, or alcohol.
Use safety footwear. Do not wear loose clothing.
wear protective gloves and clothing(class1), and eye,
hearing, and head protection devices.
Heavy protective clothing may increase operator
fatigue, which could lead to heat stroke. During
weather that is hot and humid, heavy work should be
scheduled for early morning or late afternoon hours
when temperatures are cooler.
Do not stand on any unstable surface while using
the chainsaw, that includes ladders, scaffolds, trees,
etc. always keep a sound and firm footing.
Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chainsaw
at least 10 metres from the fuelling point before starting
the engine.
Do not allow other persons to be near the chainsaw
when starting or cutting with the chainsaw. Keep
