Position the chain saw in such a way that your body is clear of the cutting attachment whenever the engine is running. Stand to the left of cut while bucking.
Never put pressure on the chain saw when reaching the end of a cut.

WARNING
Even though bystanders should be kept away from the running chain saw, never work alone. Keep within calling distance of others in case help is needed.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders and damage to property, never let your chain saw run unattended. When it is not in use (e. g. during a work break), shut it off and make sure that unauthorized persons do not use it.
WARNING
As soon as the engine is running, this product gen- erates toxic exhaust fumes containing chemi- cals, such as unburned hydrocarbons (including benzene) and carbon monoxide, that are known to cause respira- tory problems, cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some of the gases (e. g. carbon monoxide) may be color- less and odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury/illness from inhaling toxic fumes, never run the machine indoors or in poorly venti- lated locations. If exhaust fumes become concen- trated due to insufficient ventilation, clear obstruc- tions from work area to permit proper ventilation before proceeding and/or take frequent breaks to allow fumes to dissipate before they become concentrated.
WARNING
Operate your chain saw so that it produces a minimum of noise and emissions – do not run engine unnecessarily and accelerate the engine only for cutting.
