A dull chain will increasecutting time, and pressing a dullchain through wood will increase thevibrations transmitted to your hands.A saw with loose components or withdamaged or worn AV buffers will alsotend to have higher vibration levels.4. Always use caution when handlingfuel. Wipe up all spills and then movethe chain saw at least 3 m from thefueling point before starting the en-gine.5.
