Wamlng! Do not cut any material other than wood or wooden objects. Use your chain saw for cutting only. It is not designed for prying or shoveling away limbs, roots or other objects. When sawing, make sure that the saw chain does not touch any foreign materials such as rocks, nails and the like (ill. 9). Such objects may be flung off, damage the saw chain or cause the saw to kick back. In order to keep control of your saw, always maintain a firm foothold. Never work on a ladder, in a tree or on any other insecure support. Never use the saw overhead (ill. 10). 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 (see ill. 11). Don't put pressure on the saw when reaching the end of a cut. The pressure may cause the bar and rotating chain to pop out of the cut or kerf, go out of control and strike the operator or some other object. If the rotating chain strikes some other object a reactive force ~ee pages 10 to 13) may cause the chain to strike the operator. 9
