As an additional safety precaution, apply the chain brake before putting down the saw.

USE EXTREME CAUTION when cutting small-size brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

WHEN CUTTING A LIMB under tension, be alert for spring-back so you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibres is released.

OPERATE THE CHAINSAW ONLY in well ventilated areas.

DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW IN A TREE unless you have been specifically trained to do so.
