entanglement of your clothing or body with the
saw chain.
2. Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a

surfaces only, because the saw chain may con-
tact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
