help prevent fire, restart your chain saw at
least 3 m from the fuelling area.
4 When using a chain saw, a fire extinguisher
should be available.
5 When felling, keep at least 2 1/2 tree lengths
between yourself and your fellow workers.
6 Plan your work, assure yourself of an obsta‐
cle-free work area and, in the case of felling,
of an escape path from the falling tree.
7 Follow instructions in your operator's manual
for starting the chain saw and control the
chain saw with a firm grip on both handles
when it is in operation. Keep handles dry,
clean and free of oil. A chain saw should
never be carried with the engine running.
8 When transporting your chain saw, use the
appropriate transportation covers that should
be available for the guide bar and saw chain.
9 Never operate a chain saw that is damaged
or improperly adjusted or that is not com‐
pletely and securely assembled. Be sure that
the saw chain stops moving when the throttle
control trigger is released. Never adjust the
guide bar or saw chain when the engine is
operating.
10 Beware of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Operate the chain saw in well ventilated
areas only.
11 Do not attempt a pruning or limbing opera‐
tion in a standing tree unless specifically
trained to do so.
12 Guard against kickback. Kickback is the
upward motion of the guide bar that occurs
when the saw chain, at the nose of the guide
bar, contacts an object. Kickback can lead to
dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.
13 The chain saw is intended for two-handed
use. Serious injury to the operator, helpers,
and/or bystanders can result from one-
handed operation.
14 When carrying the chain saw with the engine
running, engage the chain brake.
15 Allow your chain saw to cool before fuelling,
and do not smoke.
16 Don't allow other persons or animals close to
a running chain saw or close to where a tree
is being felled.
17 Use extreme caution when cutting small size
brush and saplings because slender material
may catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you.
