General working instruction
General
Avoid cutting in adverse weather conditions, such as dense fog, heavy
rain, high winds, etc. Adverse weather is often tiring to work in and
creates potentially dangerous conditions such as slippery ground. High
winds may force the tree to fall in an unexpected direction causing
property damage or personal injury.
Never use a chain saw to pry or for any purpose for which it is not
intended.
Avoid stumbling on obstacles such as stumps, roots, rocks, branches
and fallen trees. Watch out for holes and ditches. Be extremely
cautious when working on slopes or uneven ground. Shut off the saw
when moving from one work place to another.
Always cut a wide-open throttle. A slow moving chain can easily catch
and force the saw to jerk.
Don’t be embarrassed to ask for help if you get into a cutting situation
that seems dificult to you. To continue could be dangerous. For
example - an obstacle such as power lines, close to the cutting area.
When cutting with the bottom part of the chain the reactive force will
pull the saw away from you towards the wood you are cutting.
The saw will control the feeding speed and sawdust will be directed
towards you.
