D) Instructions on safe working techniques
23. Working on ladders, scaffoldings or trees is
forbidden.
24. Ensure that the wood cannot twist while it is
being cut.
25. Watch out for splintering wood. While you
are sawing you may be injured by flying
wood chips.
26. Do not use the chain saw to lever or move
the wood.
27. Only cut with the lower section of the saw.
The saw will be repulsed towards you if you
try and cut with the upper section of the saw.
28. Ensure that the wood is free of stones, nails
or other foreign objects.
29. We recommend that first-time users are
instructed practically as to the correct use
of the chainsaw and the required personal
safety equipment by an experienced opera-
tor; the cutting of round wood or logs should
be trained on a log stand or similar rack-type
device first.
30. Keep the running chainsaw from touching
the ground or wire fences.
31. Keep people and animals away from the
cutting blade.
32. Always inspect the chain saw before each
use for worn, loose, or changed parts. Never
operate a chain saw that is damaged, im-
properly adjusted, or is not completely and
securely assembled.
33. Ensure that all the fastening elements
(screws, nuts, etc.) are tight at all times so
