•
Always maintain a steady standing position and only work with the
chainsaw if you are standing on a solid, safe and flat surface. Slip-
pery or unsafe surfaces such as ladders can cause you to lose
your balance or control over the chainsaw.
•
Plan an escape route from falling trees or branches in advance.
Make sure that this escape route is free of obstacles which could
restrict or prevent free movement. Keep in mind that freshly cut
grass or bark is slippery.
•
Ensure that somebody is in the vicinity (but at a safe distance) in
case of an accident.
•
When the chain is moving, do not let the tip of the chain bar come
into contact with any objects.
•
Start sawing only after the chain has reached full speed.
•
Never try to target a previous cut. Always start a new cut.
•
Watch out for moving branches or other forces which could inter-
fere with a cut and impact with the chain.
•
Never try to cut a branch with a larger diameter than the cutting
length of the equipment.
