and kickback forces of your saw without losing control (see section on reactive forces).
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury to the
operator or bystanders
from loss of control, never use the saw with one hand. It is more difficult for you to control reactive forces and to prevent the bar and chain from skating or bouncing along the limb or log. Even for those compact saws designed for use in confined spaces, one- handed operation is dangerous because the operator may lose control.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of cut injuries, keep hands and feet away from the cutting attachment. Never touch a moving cutting attachment with your hand or any other part of your body.
Warning!
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Special care must be taken in slippery conditions (wet ground, snow) and in difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for hidden obstacles such as tree stumps, roots, rocks, holes and ditches to avoid stumbling. There is increased danger of slipping on freshly debarked logs. For better footing, clear away fallen branches, scrub and cuttings. Be extremely cautious when working on slopes or uneven ground.
Warning!
Take extreme care in wet and freezing weather (rain, snow, ice). Put off the work when the weather is windy, stormy or rainfall is heavy.

Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never work on a ladder or any other insecure support. Never hold the machine above shoulder height. Do not overreach.
Warning!
Never work in a tree unless you have received specific, professional training for such work, are properly secured (such as tackle and harness system or a lift bucket), have both hands free for operating the chain saw in a cramped environment and have taken proper precautions to avoid injury from falling limbs or branches.
The use of climbing aids, such as spikes or climbing irons, also require special training. Always secure the chain saw with a rope (tie to hinged ring) and attach
