Grip: Always hold the saw firmly with
both hands when the engine is running.
Place your left hand on front handle bar
and your right hand on rear handle and
throttle trigger. Left-handers should
follow these instructions too.
Never touch a chain with your hand or
any part of your body when the engine is
running, even when the chain is not
rotating. The chain continues to rotate
for a short period after the throttle trigger
is released.
Wrap your fingers tightly around the
handles, keeping the handles cradled
between your thumb and forefinger.
With your hands in this position, you can
best oppose and absorb the push, pull
and kickback forces of your saw without
losing control (see section on reactive

handles and grip are in good condition
and free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
Never work in a tree unless you have
received specific, professional training

(such as tackle and harness system or a
lift bucket), have both hands free for
operating the chainsaw in a cramped
environment and have taken proper
precautions to avoid injury from falling
limbs or branches.

Such objects may be flung off, damage
the saw chain or cause the saw to
kickback.
Do not operate your chainsaw with the
starting throttle lock engaged. Cutting

does not permit the operator proper
control of the saw or chain speed.
