e. Sharpen the blade, if necessary. <br />f. Examine the elements. Notice the direction of the wind to determine how to cut <br />the tree. Make sure you are standing in a dry area with no risk of slipping. <br />g. Plan your move away from the tree. You will need at least 25 feet to avoid injury. <br />h. Pull back long hair and remove hanging jewelry that could get caught on the <br />equipment. <br />i. Start the saw by placing it between your knees or resting it on the ground with the <br />chain away from any obstacles. <br />j. Position your body a safe distance away from the blades. <br />k. Hold the tool with both hands — your right hand on the rear handle and trigger, and <br />your left hand grasping the front handle bar. <br />I. Remove your hand from the trigger between cuts. <br />m. Turn off the engine before setting the saw on the ground. <br />n. Be alert and wary of kickbacks. Kickback occurs when the guide bar hits an object <br />and projects the saw back at the user — occurs when hitting a knot in the wood, <br />operating the saw too slowly, twisting the saw, having a loose chain, or not using <br />the proper grip. <br />o. Only use a chain saw with an anti -kickback chain to prevent injuries. <br />p. Refuel away from the work area after the saw has cooled for several minutes. <br />Hurricane Emergency Mana>;ement Plan <br />This Superior Landscaping and Lawn Service Hurricane Emergency Management Plan is <br />intended to establish policies, procedures and organizational structure for responding to storm <br />emergencies that are of a magnitude that can cause a significant disruption of the functions of a <br />project. This plan depicts the basic roles and responsibilities of Superior Landscaping and Lawn <br />Service and personnel during emergency situations. The basic emergency procedures are <br />designed to protect lives and property through effective use of existing resources. <br />This plan outlines the preparation, response and recovery of Superior Landscaping and Lawn <br />Service personnel and resources for emergency situations. This Hurricane Emergency <br />Management Plan is consistent with established practices relating to coordination of <br />emergency response actions. Nothing in this plan shall be constructed in a manner that limits <br />the use of good judgment and common sense in matters not foreseen or covered by the <br />elements of the plan. <br />This Hurricane Emergency Management Plan is predicated on a realistic approach to the <br />problems likely to be encountered during a major storm emergency. Hence, the following <br />assumptions are made and should be used as general guidelines in such an event. <br />1. A storm may occur at anytime of the day or night, weekend, or holiday. <br />2. The succession of events in an emergency is not predictable; therefore, published <br />operational plans, such as this plan, should serve only as a guide and a checklist, and <br />may require modification in order to meet the requirement of the emergency. <br />
