Yes, there are specific safety protocols you need to follow when operating a chain saw. First and foremost, always wear personal protective gear such as safety glasses and ear protection. Make sure to inspect the chain saw before use and check for any signs of damage or wear. Always keep the chain saw in a secure position and be mindful of where the chain and bar are pointing. When starting the chain saw, ensure that bystanders are at least 15 feet away. Finally, when not in use, always disconnect the spark plug or switch off the power source.
