 Carry the chainsaw at your side so that parts of your
body do not get in the range of movement of the
chainsaw.
 Keep as far away as possible from the sawed mate-
rial.
 Never work on a ladder or standing in a tree.

When sawing with the underside of the guide rail - fore-
hand cut - the chainsaw can be pulled suddenly towards
the sawn object if the saw chain jams or hits a solid ob-
ject in the wood.
 To avoid pulling in, always set the bucking spikes
securely onto the wood.
When sawing with the top side of the guide rail - back-
hand cut -the chainsaw can be propelled back towards
the user if the saw chain jams or hits a solid object in the
wood.
 To avoid a recoil:
 Do not pinch the top of the guide rail.
 Do not twist the guide rail in the cut.
