25 General Power Tool Safety Warnings

25.8 Chain saw safety warnings

– Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when
the chain saw is operating, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while
operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your
clothing or body with the chain saw.
– Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the
chain saw the other way round increases the risk of injury
and may not be used.
– Always hold your chain saw by the insulated handles
because the saw chain may contact hidden electrical
wires or your own power cord. Any saw chain contact with
a live wire may energize metallic parts of the power tool
and result in an electric shock.
– Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for
hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Suitable protective clothing helps reduce the risk of injury
from thrown wood chips and accidental contact with the
saw chain.
– Never work with a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, on a
roof or other instable surface. There is a risk of injury in
such situations.
– Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw
only when standing on a fixed, secure and level surface.
A slippery surface or instable support such as a ladder
could cause the operator to lose control of the chain saw.
– When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for
spring back. When the tension in the wood fibers is
released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator
and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
– Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings.
The slender material may catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
– Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw
switched off and the saw chain away from your body.
When transporting or storing the chain saw always fit the
guide bar scabbard. Proper handling of the chain saw will
reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving
saw chain.
