best oppose and absorb the push, pull
and kickback forces of your saw without
losing control (see section on reactive
forces).
Warning!
To reduce the risk
of serious or fatal
injury to the oper-
ator or bystanders
from loss of con-
trol, never use the saw with one hand. It
is more difficult for you to control reac-
tive forces and to prevent the bar and
chain from skating or bouncing along
the limb or log.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of cut injuries, keep
hands and feet away from the saw
chain. Never touch a moving saw chain
with your hand or any other part of your
body.
Warning!
Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Special care must be taken in
slippery conditions (wet ground, snow)
and in difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch
for hidden obstacles such as tree
stumps, roots, rocks, holes and ditches
to avoid stumbling. There is increased
danger of slipping on freshly debarked
logs. For better footing, clear away
fallen branches, scrub and cuttings. Be
extremely cautious when working on
slopes or uneven ground.

Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder or any
other insecure support. Never hold the
machine above shoulder height. Do not
overreach.
Warning!
Never work in a tree unless you have
received specific, professional training
for such work, are properly secured
(such as tackle and harness system or a
lift bucket), have both hands free for
operating the chain saw in a cramped
environment and have taken proper pre-
cautions to avoid injury from falling
limbs or branches.
Position the chain saw in such a way
that your body is clear of the cutting
attachment whenever the motor is
running. Stand to the left of cut while
bucking.
Never put pressure on the saw when
reaching the end of a cut. The pressure
may cause the bar and rotating chain to
pop out of the cut or kerf, go out of
control and strike the operator or some
other object. If the rotating chain strikes
some other object, a reactive force may
cause the moving chain to strike the
operator.
Working Conditions
Operate your power tool only under
good visibility and daylight conditions
only. Work carefully.
Warning!
Your chain saw is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when start-
ing. Stop the motor immediately if you
are approached.
Warning!
Even though bystanders should be kept
away from the running saw, never work
alone. Keep within calling distance of
others in case help is needed.
