1. Pre-plan a safe exit from falling branches

and debris. Ensure the exit route is clear
of obstacles that would prevent or hinder
movement. Remember freshly cut bark and
wet grass is slippery.

2. Be aware of the direction that a branch may

fall. Consider all conditions that may affect
the direction of fall. Including:

a.  The intended direction of fall.
b.  The natural lean of the branch.
c.  Any unusual heavy limb structure or decay.
d.  Surrounding trees and obstacles including

overhead power lines.

e. The wind speed and direction.
3. The safe distance between a branch

and debris to be felled and bystanders,
buildings, and other objects is at least
2 ½ times the length of the branch. Any
bystander, building, or object within this
distance is at risk from being struck by the
falling branch.

4. Begin and continue cutting only with the

chain moving at full speed.

5. When using the Extension pole to cut the

branches on a tree, make sure to keep a
firm footing and balance. Do not stand the
position where the branch may land after
being cut.

6. Before cutting is started, consider the

natural lean of the tree, the wind direction
to judge which way the branch will fall.

7. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,

staples, and wire from the branch where
you plan to make your cut.

8. The machine shall not be used in any

position that causes any part to come
within 33 feet (10m) of overhead electrical

lines;

9. The operating positions are dangerous; the

operator may be struck by falling branches
or by those that rebound after hitting the
ground. Remove the branches in sections.

10. Do not use this tool to cut branches or

limbs over 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter, the
branch or limb must fit completely in the
jaw opening.

11. Fatigue causes carelessness. Be more

cautious before rest periods and towards
the end of your shift.

12. Follow the instructions in your operator’s

manual for starting the JAWSAW

and

control the JAWSAW

with a firm grip on

both handles when it is in operation. .Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.

13. Always transport JAWSAW

with the guide

bar and chain inside the protection guard.

14. A JAWSAW

is recommended for two-

handed use. Serious injury to the operator,
helpers, and/or bystanders can result from
one-handed operation.

15. This electrically powered saw is classified

by CSA as a Class 2C saw. It is intended
for infrequent use by homeowners,
cottagers, and campers, and for such
general applications as clearing, pruning,
