EGO POWER+ CS2000 Operator's Manual page 32

◾
When felling a tree, keep everyone – helpers, bystanders, children, and animals
– a safe distance away from the cutting area. During felling operations, the safe
distance should be a least twice the height of the largest trees in the felling area.
During bucking operations, keep a minimum distance of 15 feet (4.5 m) between
workers. Trees should not be felled in a manner that would endanger any person,
strike a utility line, or cause any property damage. If a tree does make contact
with a utility line, stay clear of the tree and the line and notify the utility company
immediately.
◾
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent being pulled off balance.
◾
Do not cut above chest height, as a saw held higher is difficult to control against
kickback forces.
◾
Do not fell trees near electrical wires or buildings.
◾
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for you to see clearly.
Proper Grip on Handles
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip
and protection.
With the saw on a firm, flat surface, hold
the saw firmly with both hands.
Always grasp the front handle with the
left hand and the rear handle with the
right hand.
The fingers should encircle the handle,
with the thumb wrapped under the front
handle (Fig. 16a).
WARNING:
handed (cross-handed) grip, or any stance
which would place your body or arm
across the chain line.
WARNING:
trigger switch with your left hand and
hold the front handle with your right hand.
Never allow any part of your body to be in the chain line while operating a chain saw
(Fig. 16b).
