[. . . ] Any grip in which the thumb and fingers are on the same side of the handle, is dangerous because a slight kick of the saw can cause loss of control. REAR HANDLE Fig. 9 WARNING: Do not operate the switch trigger with your left hand and hold the front handle with your right hand. Never allow any part of your body to be in the chain line while operating a saw. 11 15 OPERATION PROPER CUTTING STANCE See Figure 12. n Weight should be balanced with both feet on solid ground. n Keep left arm with elbow locked in a "straight arm" position to withstand any kickback force. n Your body should always be to the left of the chain line. n Thumb should be on underside of handlebar. CHAIN LINE STRAIGHT ARM POSITION BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE Practice cutting a few small logs using the following technique to get the "feel" of using the saw before you begin a major sawing operation. n Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw off. n Press the switch lock and squeeze the switch trigger then release switch lock and let the chain accelerate to full speed before entering the cut. If the tree does make contact with any utility line, the utility company should be notified immediately. n Before any cuts are started, pick your escape route (or routes in case the intended route is blocked); clear the immediate area around the tree and make sure there are no obstructions in your planned path of retreat. Clear path of safe retreat approximately 135° from planned line of fall. The retreat path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall. n Before felling is started, consider the force and direction of the wind, the lean and balance of the tree, and the location of large limbs. These things influence the direction in which the tree will fall. Do not try to fell a tree along a line different from its natural line of fall. n The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled. n Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and wire from the tree where felling cuts are to be made. Cut a notch about 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the direction of fall. Make the cuts of the notch so they intersect at a right angle to the line of fall. [. . . ] n From the finger-tight position, tighten the screw an additional 3/4 of a turn using a wrench.
