3.13.2 Chain Saw OperationsChainsaw operations should be avoided were possible and if their use if required shouldbe done under close supervision and all safeguards in place. Chain saw cuttingoperations should be carried out with extreme caution and a high level of safetyawareness. All operators should be skill-tested before being employed in order toensure that they are qualified. Only operators who perform their duties while complyingwith all the safety standards should be authorized to operate chain saws on the crew.Each operator should be issued a Daily Safety Checklist for the chain saw. Operatorsshould be familiar with this checklist and follow all of the standards listed. Only chainsaws with automatic chain break should be used.All operators should have and use the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):1) Lumberjack helmet (a hard hat with eye and ear protection).2) Gloves.3) Safety (steel-toed) shoes.4) Chain saw chaps.Other safety equipment that should be issued:1) Proper fuel and an oil container with funnel.2) First aid kit.

7) Plug wrench.8) A whistle or other warning device.Note: Major repairs should be completed by a mechanic.The following safety standards should be emphasized to all chain saw operators:1) No operator should operate the chain saw without wearing Personal ProtectiveEquipment.2) Radio communications should be available between the operating site and a unitcapable of medevac.3) Never cut above shoulder height or operate the chain saw with one hand. Alwayskeep the cutting direction away from you. Always use the bottom of the blade forcutting; never use the top or the tip.4) Clear the area of all personnel before the operator uses the chain saw. When fellinga tree, all crew members should be grouped a distance that is at least twice the treeheight away. The chain saw operator should have a planned escape route beforecutting any tree.5) A whistle or alarm should be sounded prior to a tree falling.6) Make sure the chain is properly tightened. Make sure a mechanic regularly maintainsthe saw and updates the log book. A sharp chain is safer.7) Always allow the chain saw engine to cool before refueling. The chain saw shouldnot be restarted at the location where refueling took place as fuel spillage can catchfire.8) Mix fuel with two-stroke oil. Use the proper chain bar oil on the chain. Use a funnelwhen refueling if the fuel container does not have a spout funnel.9) Never transport a chain saw while it is operating. Always turn the engine off andPage 47 of 136
