General Outdoor Cutting Tool Safety.  

一般户外切割工具的安全。  

在使用任何切割工具之前，确保你知道你的急救箱在哪里以及如何使用它。  

为你正在做的工作穿上合适的衣服。坚固的靴子和不穿宽松的吊带衫是一个好的开始。  

检查工具是否有损坏或松动的部件。如果没有先进行适当的修理，不要使用损坏或松动的工具。  

在光线充足的地方使用切割工具。避免在天黑后或饮酒后使用切割工具，计划在白天进行所有砍柴工作。  

如果你的切割工具掉下来，让它掉下来，不要试图去抓它。  

不要用暴露在外的切割工具在粗糙的地面上胡闹、奔跑或移动。  

切勿将切割工具扔给任何人。当把打开的或暴露在外的切割工具递给另一个人时，应握住刀片的背面，使切割边缘远离你的手。将工具的手柄放在另一个人的手中。在你松开手之前，确保他们已经握紧了。  

当放下切割工具时，确保刀片处于安全位置，如果你或任何其他人不小心落在上面。  

如果你要离开工具，请把它放在刀鞘里，装上刀套或安全折叠起来。不要以为其他人知道它在那里。  

如果周围有任何儿童或不负责任的人，不要把切割工具放在容易被捡到的地方。  

不要把切割工具挖到地下，也不要让它们卡在木头里。  

不要把切割工具扔到树上或地上。  

以正确的方式使用切割工具，并始终为工作使用正确的工具。  

保持你的切割工具的清洁，如果它们不是不锈钢的，请保持它们上油和无锈。  

锋利的工具通常被认为是更安全的工具，因为需要使用较少的力量来切割。然而，如果工具滑落或使用不当，锋利的工具也可能造成更深的伤害。  

学习如何正确和安全地研磨你的工具。  

Before using any cutting tool make sure you know where your first aid kit is and how to use it.  

Wear appropriate clothing for the work you are doing. Stout boots and no loose dangling clothing is a good start.  

Inspect the tool for damage or loose parts. Do not use a damaged or loose tool without repairing it properly first.  

Use cutting tools in a well lit area. Avoid using cutting tools after dark or after drinking alcohol, plan to do all chopping of firewood in daylight.  

If you drop your cutting tool, let it fall – do not attempt to catch it.  

Do not fool around, run or move through rough ground with an exposed cutting tool.  

Never throw a cutting tool to anyone. When passing an open or exposed cutting tool to another person, hold it by the back of the blade with the cutting edge away from your hand. Place the handle of the tool in the other person’s hand. Make sure they have a firm hold before you release your grip.  

When putting a cutting tool down, make sure the blade is in a safe position if you or any other person were to accidentally fall upon it.  

If you are going to leave the tool, put it in a sheath, fit a blade cover or fold it up safely. Never assume other people know it is there.  

If there are any children or non responsible people around do not leave a cutting tool where it can be easily picked up.  

Do not dig cutting tools into the ground or leave them stuck into wood.  

Do not throw a cutting tool into trees or the ground.  

Use a cutting tool in the correct way and always use the correct tool for the job.  

Keep your cutting tools clean and if they are not Stainless steel keep them oiled and free from rust.  

A sharp tool is often considered to be a safer tool because less force needs to be applied to cut with. However a sharp tool can also cause a deeper injury if it slips or is misused.  

Learn how to sharpen your tools correctly and safely.  

Knife Safety  

刀的安全  

只有当你要使用你的刀时，才将它展开或从刀鞘中取出。当你完成任务后，把它放回刀鞘或折叠起来，这样做时，你的手指要远离折叠刀片的路径。  

牢牢握住刀柄，让手指远离刀刃的切割边缘。如果是折叠刀，要始终注意折叠刀的路径，即使刀刃应该是锁开的。众所周知，这种锁是会失效的。  

始终尝试远离你的身体、脸和手进行切割。在进行切割之前，先看一下切割完成后刀片可能移动的方向，或者如果刀片打滑的话。确保你的手指或你身体的任何其他部分不在该路径上。  

即使你只切到东西的一部分，也要考虑如果刀片一路滑过你所切的东西会发生什么。不要把东西放在你身体的一部分上。  

Only unfold your knife or remove it from its scabbard when you are going to use it. When you have completed your task, put it back in its scabbard or fold it up keeping your fingers away from the folding blade path as you do so.  

Hold the handle firmly, keeping your fingers away from the cutting edge of the blade. If it is a folding knife, always be aware of the folding blade path even if the blade is supposed to lock open. Such locks have been known to fail.  

Always try to cut away from your body, face and hands. Before making a cut look at the direction the blade can move in when the cut is completed or if the blade slips. Make sure your fingers, or any other parts of your body, are not in that path.  

Even if you are only cutting part way into something, always consider what will happen if the blade slips all the way through what you are cutting. Do not rest the item on part of your body.  

Axe Safety

斧头安全

 在使用斧头或其他砍伐工具时，要检查你的工作区域，用你伸出的手拿着工具慢慢地转过来，以确保在你的工作区域内没有任何东西会受到伤害或导致你的挥舞偏移。在你的头顶和后续区域也要重复这一检查。你的安全区域应该是这个半径的两倍，以考虑到飞屑等问题。如果可能的话，将这个区域封锁起来。  

在你要砍的东西下面用一个大约大腿高度的木块，这样可以使斧头更有效、更安全。如果木块比较小，就跪下来调整你的高度。  

确保你的身体不在斧头的路径上，或在任何可能被斧头偏离的地方。  

牢牢握住斧头，使其在砍伐时不会滑落或弹出你的手。  

如果你正在分割或切割需要固定的东西，确保你的手、脚或其他身体部位远离切割区域。如果有必要，用一根小棍子代替你的手来握住该物品。  

仔细注意被砍的物品的位置和撞击点。撞击物品是否会导致它像锯子一样旋转？这是造成伤害的一个常见原因。

When using an axe or other chopping tool, check your working area by slowly turning around with the tool in your outstretched hand to make sure there is nothing inside your work area that can be harmed or cause your swing to be deflected. Repeat this check over your head and in the follow through area as well. Your safety area should be twice this radius to allow for flying chips etc. If possible cordon off this area.  

Use a wooden block at about thigh height under the item you are chopping, this makes the axe more effective and safer. If the block is smaller kneel down to adjust your height.  

Make sure your body is not in the path of the axe or in any place the axe could be deflected towards.  

Hold the axe firmly so that it cannot slip or bounce out of your hand while chopping.  

If you are splitting or chopping something that requires holding in place, make sure your hands, feet or other body parts are well away from the cutting area. If necessary use a small stick to hold the item instead of your hand.  

Pay careful attention to the position of the item being chopped and the impact point. Will hitting the item cause it to pivot like a see saw? This is a common cause of injury.  

Saw Safety 

锯子安全  

确保被切割的物品被牢牢抓住，使其不能向下、向前或向后移动。  

确保你的身体不在锯条的路径上。  

将被切割的物品摆放好，使切割物倾向于打开，而不是在刀片上闭合，导致刀片被捆绑。用蜡或油来润滑刀片将有助于防止这种情况。  

弄清楚被切割的物品将如何落下，落在哪里。不要切割可能落在你或其他人身上的东西。始终记住，处于紧张状态的树枝或树木就像一个随时会弹开的弹簧。想想看，一个弹簧陷阱是多么危险。  

开始锯切是最危险的一点。确保你的手或其他身体部位不处于被切割的位置，如果锯条跳过或跳离其位置。不要用手指引导锯条。如果可能的话，将你的手和手指放在锯条后面。

Make sure the item being cut is held firmly so that it cannot move down, forward or back.  

Make sure your body is not in the path of the saw blade.  

Position the item being cut so that the cut will tend to open up rather than close on the blade causing it to bind. Lubricating the blade with wax or oil will help prevent this.  

Work out how and where the cut item will fall. Do not cut anything that could fall on you or others. Always remember that a branch or tree under tension is like a spring ready to snap free. Think how dangerous a spring trap is.  

Starting a saw cut is the most dangerous point. Make sure your hand or other body parts are not in a position to be cut if the blade skips or jumps from its position. Do not guide the saw blade with your finger. If possible keep your hands and fingers behind the saw blade.
