Basic safety rules
1 Look around you:

aff
ect your control of the machine.
• To make sure that none of the above might come
within reach of y
our saw or be injured by falling trees.
CAUTION! Follow the instructions above, but do not use a

Take great care when removing small branches and
avoid cutting bushes (i.e. cutting many small branches at
the same time). Small branches can be grabbed by the
chain and thrown back at you, causing serious injury
.
4 Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the
area around y
ou for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping
ground.
5 Take great care when cutting a tree that is under
tension.
A tree that is under tension may spring back
to its normal position before or after being cut. If you
position yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the
wrong place the tree may hit you or the machine and
