Start your saw without assistance of a second person.
Keep other people clear of
the
general work area of the
saw.
Place the chain saw
on
firm ground or other solid surface
in
an
open area. Have a good balance and secure footing.
Be
absolutely sure that guide bar and chain are clear of you
and all otherobstructions and objects, including the ground.

speed will
be
fast enough for the clutch to engage sprocket
and turn the chain, which may cause kickback to occur.
