Proper Grip On Handles
- Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
protection.
- With the saw on a firm, flat surface, hold the
saw firmly with both hands.
- Always grasp the front handle with the left
hand and the rear handle with the right.
- The fingers should encircle the handle, with
the thumb wrapped under the front handle.
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed
(cross-handed) grip, or any stance which
would place your body or arm across the
chain line.
Proper Cutting Stance
- Both feet should be on solid ground, with
weight evenly spread between them.
- The left arm should be straight, with the
elbow locked. This helps to withstand the
forces generated by kickback.
- Your body should always be to the left of the
chain line.
