ground to carry out safe rescue procedures and/or get 
help should an emergency arise.

During tree maintenance work above ground level, the 
working area should always be secured and marked 
out with signs, tape or the like. The person(s) on the 
ground should always inform the person(s) working 
above before they enter the secure working area.

Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as 
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. 
Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings 
added risks, such as icy ground, lightning, 
unpredictable felling direction, etc.

5

Take great care when removing small branches and 
avoid cutting bushes (i.e. cutting many small branches 
at the same time). Small branches can be grabbed by 
the chain and thrown back at you, causing serious 
injury.

Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the 
area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, 
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move 
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping 
ground.

7

Take great care when cutting a tree that is in tension. 
A tree that is in tension may spring back to its normal 
position before or after being cut. If you position 
yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the wrong place 
the tree may hit you or the machine and cause you to 
lose control. Both situations can cause serious 
personal injury.

Before moving your chain saw deactivate it and lock 
the saw chain using the chain brake. Carry the chain 

saw with the bar and chain pointing backwards. Fit a 
guard to the bar before transporting the chain saw or 
carrying it for any distance.

When you put the chain saw on the ground, lock the 
saw chain using the chain brake and ensure you have 
a constant view of the machine. Deactivate the 
machine and remove the battery before leaving your 
chain saw for any length of time.

If you understand what kickback is and how it happens 
then you can reduce or eliminate the element of 
surprise. By being prepared you reduce the risk. 
Kickback is usually quite mild, but it can sometimes be 
very sudden and violent.

2

Always hold the chain saw firmly with your right hand 
on the top handle and your left hand on the front 
handle. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the 
handles. You should use this grip whether you are 
right-handed or left-handed. This grip minimises the 
effect of kickback and lets you keep the chain saw 
under control. Do not let go of the handles!

Most kickback accidents happen during limbing. Make 
sure you are standing firmly and that there is nothing 
in the way that might make you trip or lose your 
balance.

Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the 
kickback zone of the bar accidentally touches a 
branch, nearby tree or some other object.

Have control over the workpiece. If the pieces you 
intend to cut are small and light, they can jam in the 
saw chain and be thrown towards you. Even if this
