Be
alert -
If
you get tired while operating your chain saw,
take a break, tiredness may result in loss of control.
Working with any chain saw can be strenuous.
If
you have
any condition that might
be
aggravated by strenuous
work, check with your doctor before operating a chain saw.
Proper Clothing
Clothing must be sturdy and snug-fitting, but allow com-
plete freedom of movemellt. Avoid loose-fitting jackets,
scarfs, neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed pants, or anything
that could become entangled with the saw or brush. Wear
overalls or jeans with a reinforced cutting resistant insert
(ill. 3).
Protect your hands with gloves when handling saw and
saw chain. Heavy-duty. nonslip gloves ,improve your grip
and protect your hands.
Good footing

most important
in
chain saw work. Wear
sturdy boots with nonslip soles. Steel-toed safety boots
are recommended.
Proper eye protection is a must. Non-fogging, vented
goggles or a face screen
is recommended. Their use
reduces the
risk of eye injury.
Wear
an
appmved safety hard hat
to
protect your head.
Wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear mufflers) to protect
your hearing.
