d) it is not possible to achieve a working position where ambidextrous
operation is permitted,
e) it is necessary to secure the working position with one hand, and
f) the chainsaw is used in a fully extended position, at right angles to and out of line with the
user's body.
Never saw with the kickback area at the tip of the chainsaw guide bar, hold on to the branch
where you are sawing, or try to catch falling parts.
Removing debris from a jammed chainsaw
If the chainsaw becomes jammed during cutting:
d)
switch off the chainsaw and attach it securely to the inside of the tree (i.e. to the
trunk) or to a separate tool rope,
e)
pull the chainsaw out of the notch while lifting the branch as far as necessary, and
f)
if necessary, use a hand saw or second chainsaw to release the jammed chainsaw by
cutting at least 30 cm away from the jammed chainsaw.
Regardless of whether a hand saw or chainsaw is used to loosen a jammed chainsaw, the cuts
to loosen the chainsaw should always be made on the outside (towards the tips of the
branches) so that the chainsaw is not carried along with the sawn-off parts and further
complicates the situation.
