ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
◾
With a basic understanding of
kickback (Fig. 3–5), you can
reduce or eliminate the element
of surprise. Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents.
◾
Make sure that the area in
which you are cutting is free
from obstructions. Do not let
the nose of the guide bar contact
a log, branch, fence, or any other
obstruction that could be hit while
you are operating the saw.
◾
Inspect the work piece for nails,
wire, or other foreign objects
prior to cutting.
◾
Plan the work, ensuring an
obstacle-free work area and, in
the case of felling, at least one
escape path from the falling
tree.
◾
When felling, keep bystanders
at least two tree lengths away.
◾
Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
◾
A chain saw is intended for two
handed use. Serious injury to the
operator, helpers, and/or bystanders
can result from one-handed
operation (Fig. 3).
◾
Always cut with the unit running at full speed. Fully squeeze the switch
trigger and maintain cutting speed.
◾
Push and Pull – The reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain
is moving where wood contact is made. Thus, the operator must be ready to
control the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar, and the PUSH when
cutting along the top edge (Fig. 7).
