Ryobi P540 Chainsaw User Manual


 
13
Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the unit is
running. The fingers should encircle the handle and the
thumb is wrapped under the handlebar. This grip is least
likely to be broken (by a kickback or other sudden reaction
of the saw). Any grip in which the thumb and fingers are
on the same side of the handle, is dangerous because a
slight kick of the saw can cause loss of control.
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip, or any
stance which would place your body or arm across the
chain line.
WARNING:
Do not operate the throttle trigger with your left hand
and hold the front handle with your right hand. Never
allow any part of your body to be in the chain line while
operating a saw.
