Saw with the lower part of the bar, close to the bumper, not on top near the nose. Maintain high saw speed when entering or leaving a cut in the wood. Keep the chain saw chain sharp. Do not reach abov shoulder height to cut, because you reduce your control over the chain saw. The chain is too close to your face in this position.
Refueling Turn off the chainsaw to refuel.
Do not refuel over-heated saws. Move away from the work area and only refuel with the proper gasoline. Wipe up any spills. Return the caps to the chain saw and gasoline can. Return the gasoline can to a safe place and continue working.
