WARNING!
Always ensure your foothold. Do not stand on the log.
Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log. Especially when working on a slope, stand
on the uphill side of the log.
Follow the instructions in "For Safe Operation" to avoid kickback of the saw.
Before starting work, check the direction of bending force inside the log to be cut.
Always finish cutting from the opposite side of bending direction to prevent the
guide bar from being caught in the cut.
