Using A Chain Saw SafelyBackground
Tips
Chain Saw SafetyThe most important factor in chain saw safety is the operator. Personal protection equipment such as trim fitting clothes, a safety hard hat, hearing protective devices, safety goggles, non-slip shoes and gloves should be provided. To start the saw, place it on level ground. Hold the saw with one hand and pull the starter rope with the other. Keep others away when starting the engine. Use extreme caution to be sure the chain does not strike nails or stones when it is operating. Be sure the bumper is against the tree while sawing so the saw does not jerk out of your hands. The engine should be stopped and the saw carried with the blade pointed to the rear. Last updated: 18-May-2006 11:08 AM
