Starting and stopping the chain saw
WARNING
Keep body to the left of the chain line. Never straddle the saw or chain, or lean over past the chain
line.
Preparing for cutting
See General Safety Rules for appropriate safety equip-
ment.
• Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
• Hold the saw rmly with both hands. Always keep your
left hand on the front handle and your right hand on
the rear handle so that your body is to the left of the
chain line.
• Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the motor
is running. The ngers should encircle the handle, with
the thumb wrapped under the handlebar. This grip is
least likely to be broken by a kickback or other sudden
reaction of the saw. Any grip in which the thumb and
ngers are on the same side of the handle is danger-
ous, because a slight kick of the saw can cause loss of
control.
