C32—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 27,1980 Tips on chain saw safety UITTZ With the new popularity of wood stoves, thousands of people received chain saws as holiday gifts. Soon the woods will be buzzing with a whole new crop of weekend lum berjacks. Anyone can run a chain saw, but it takes a trained person to run one safely. Hospital emergency rooms are full of people who thought they knew how, says Delaware extension farm safety and energy program coordinator Ronald C Jester A new operator must be thoroughly familiar with the manufacturer’s operations manual and must work closely with the retailer or an experienced chain saw operator fora period of time. It’s important to know the tool’s limitations and capabilities. Jester offers these suggestions for the safe use and maintenance of this potentially dangerous piece of equipment. Make sure your saw is adequate for the job. Read the owner’s manual carefully before use Make sure the chain tension is properly adjusted so that the chain won’t creep or travel at idle The chain should be snug against the guide bar, but free enough to be drawn along the bar with one hand when the motor is turned off Place the wood to be cut close to the ground and cut with the saw held parallel to the ground Keep legs well apart or to one side of the machine so that, in case of kickback, the saw will not strike your legs Never let the saw run attended Always carry a chain saw with the bar to the rear (and with the motor off) Start the saw on a hrm surface, such as the ground Wear personal protective equipment such as safety shoes, goggles or safety glases, hearing protectors, hardhat. Also wear com fortable, trim-fitting clothing. Don’t gas up while the saw is hot Properly maintain the saw in accordance with the owner’s manual A sharp chain affords a smooth and safe operation. You should never have to force your chain saw into the work Be sure to use recommended filing guards to sharpen the chain’s cutting teeth.
