Start the chainsaw properly: When starting the chainsaw, follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
Use the chainsaw in a safe area: Do not use a chainsaw in an area where there are people or animals nearby. Ensure the area is clear of obstacles before you start cutting.
Keep your body in a safe position: When using a chainsaw, keep your body in a safe position. Do not overreach or stand on unstable surfaces.
Use the correct technique: When cutting with a chainsaw, use the correct technique. Do not force the saw. Let the saw do the work.
