If you are not familiar with chain-saw techniques, saw maintenance and operation, be sure to \u2013 at minimum \u2013 read the owners manual completely and carefully and consult an expert for a demonstration. Other tips to follow to ensure safe use of chain saws:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Consult with a dealer to get the right size saw for the woodcutting you will be doing. Then get him or her to demonstrate the saw.<\/li>\n<li>Use the fuel mix recommended by the manufacturer. Never fuel the saw near debris or when the saw is hot.<\/li>\n<li>Sharpen the saw regularly and maintain proper chain saw tension. A loose chain can come off the guide bar and hit the operator.<\/li>\n<li>Wear proper protective clothing, including safety goggles, hardhat, trim-fitting clothes (not loose or ragged), long-sleeve shirt and pants, gloves, and safety shoes.<\/li>\n<li>Never operate a chain saw when you are tired or using alcohol or drugs. Take frequent breaks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve surveyed the job and planned the task:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Work with both hands on the chain saw handles.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Keep your eyes on both the blade and what you are cutting.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cut only on the right side of your body.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cut only with the lower edge of the blade\u2014cutting with the tip is inviting injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Beware of cutting limbs and branches that are bent.
