1.2. CHAINSAW SAFETY

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
• 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 reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
• Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the chain saw “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment for hearing, face, head, hands, legs, and feet is recommended. Adequate protective equipment will reduce personal injury from flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
• DO NOT operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or on any unstable support. Operation of a chain saw in this manner could result in serious personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on a fixed, secure, and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibers is released, the spring-loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw, always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning, and changing the bar and chain. The improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance of kickback.
• Cut wood only. DO NOT use a chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: DO NOT use a chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry, or non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• DO NOT attempt to use the saw until you have an understanding of the risks and how to avoid them Serious injury could occur to the operator or bystanders if used improperly.
• Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

1.2.1. CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF KICKBACK:

• Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
• Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.
• Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
• Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury. DO NOT rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw.
• As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accidents or injuries.
• Kickback is the result of chain saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw, and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. DO NOT let go of the chainsaw.
• DO NOT overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains specified by the manufacturer.
