• Wear protective gear. Always use
steel-toed safety footwear with non-slip
soles; snug-fitting clothing; heavy-duty,
non-slip gloves; eye protection such
as non-fogging, vented goggles or
face screen; an approved safety hard
hat; and sound barriers (ear plugs or
mufflers) to protect your hearing. Reg-
ular users should have hearing
checked regularly as chain saw noise
can damage hearing.
• Secure hair above shoulder length. Do
not wear loose clothing or jewelry; they
can get caught in moving parts.
• Keep all parts of your body away from
the chain when the engine is running.
• Keep children, bystanders, and ani-
mals a minimum of 30 feet (10 me-
ters) away from the work area when
starting and using the saw.
• Do not handle or operate a chain
saw when you are fatigued, ill, or up-
set, or if you have taken alcohol,
drugs, or medication. You must be in
good physical condition and mentally
alert. If you have any condition that
might be aggravated by strenuous
work, check with doctor before oper-
ating.
• Do not start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and,
if you are felling trees, a planned re-
treat path.
