9. Never start cutting until you have a clear work area,
secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the
falling tree.
10. Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands
when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with
thumb and fingers encircling the chain saw
handles.
11. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
chain when the engine is running.
12. Before you start the engine, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything.
13. Always carry the chain saw with the engine
stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear,
and the muffler away from your body.
14. Always inspect the chain saw before each use for
worn, loose, or damaged parts. Never operate a
chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or
is not completely and securely assembled. Be sure
that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle
control trigger is released.
15. All chain saw service, other than the items listed in
the Owner's Manual, should be performed by
competent chain saw service personnel. (E.g., if
improper tools are used to remove the flywheel, or
if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in
order to remove the clutch, structural damage to
the flywheel could occur which could subsequently
cause the flywheel to disintegrate.)
