of alcohol or drugs.
2. Use safety footwear, snug fitting clothing and eye, hearing and head protection
devices. Use the vibration-proof glove.
3. Keep the saw chain sharp and
A dull chain will increase cutting time, and pressing a dull chain through wood will
increase the vibrations transmitted to your hands. A saw with loose components or
with damaged or worn AV buffers will also tend to have higher vibration levels.
4. Always use caution when handling fuel. Wipe up all spills and then move the chain
saw at least 3 m from the fueling point before starting the engine.

cause sparks) in the areas where fuel is mixed, poured, or stored.
6. Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the chain saw.
7. Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting or cutting. Keep
bystanders and animals out of the work area. Children, pets and bystanders should
be a minimum of 10 m away when you start or operate the chain saw.

retreat path from the falling tree.

a firm grip with thumb and fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
10. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running.
