WORKING TECHNIQUES

6Before moving your chain saw switch off the engine and lock the chain using the chain brake. Carry the chain saw with the bar and chain pointing backwards. Fit a guard to the bar before transporting the chain saw or carrying it for any distance.

7When you put the chain saw on the ground, lock the saw chain using the chain brake and ensure you have a constant view of the machine. Switch the engine off before leaving your chain saw for any length of time.

General rules

1If you understand what kickback is and how it happens then you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. By being prepared you reduce the risk. Kickback is usually quite mild, but it can sometimes be very sudden and violent.

2Always hold the chain saw ﬁrmly with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Wrap your ﬁngers and thumbs around the handles. You should use this grip whether you are right-handed or left-handed. This grip minimizes the effect of kickback and lets you keep the chain saw under control. Do not let go of the handles!

3Most kickback accidents happen during limbing. Make sure you are standing ﬁrmly and that there is nothing in the way that might make you trip or lose your balance.

Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the kickback zone of the bar accidentally touches a branch, nearby tree or some other object.

Have control over the workpiece. If the pieces you intend to cut are small and light, they can jam in the saw chain and be thrown towards you. Even if this does not need to be a danger, you may be surprised and lose control of the saw. Never saw stacked logs or branches without ﬁrst separating them. Only saw one log or one piece at a time. Remove the cut pieces to keep your working area safe.

4Never use the chain saw above shoulder height and avoid cutting with the tip of the bar. Never use the chain saw one-handed!

5In order to keep control of your saw, always maintain a ﬁrm foothold. Never work on a ladder, in a tree or on any other insecure support.

6Always use a fast cutting speed, i.e. full throttle.

7Take great care when you cut with the top edge of the bar, i.e. when cutting from the underside of the object. This is known as cutting with a pushing chain. The chain tries to push the chain saw back towards the
