BE ALERT TO THE ROLLING
OVER OF A CUT LOG. ESPECIALLY
WHEN WORKING ON A SLOPE, STAND
ON THE UPHILL SIDE OF THE LOG.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN "FOR SAFE
OPERATION" TO AVOID KICKBACK OF THE

Before starting work , check the direction of bending force inside
the log to be cut. Always finish cutting from the opposite side of
the bending direction to prevent the guide bar from being caught
in the cut.
