3.4- Additional safety rules for Chain Saw
1- Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chainsaw is operating.
Before you start the chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chainsaws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw
chain.
2- Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury
and should never be done.
3- Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hand, legs and
feet is also recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris
or accidental contact with saw chain.
4- Do not operate the chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a chainsaw while up in a tree may result in
personal injury.
5- Always keep proper footing and balance and operate the chainsaw only when standing on a fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or
control of the chainsaw.
6- When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood
fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chainsaw out of
control.
