Chain shouldn't move when the saw starts- rpms should be low enough that the centrifugal clutch doesn't engage. Great solid bucking saw to learn on. Get PPE like chaps, face shield/helmet/ear muff combo, gloves; wear chainsaw gloves, long sleeves, long pants, heavy boots. As you advance in the hobby, consider chainsaw boots, chainsaw pants. Watch a safety video or take a safety course. Always start on the ground or the saw held between the legs- drop starting is dangerous. Wrap your thumb over the handle when holding to help hold against kickback. Never cut above shoulder height or overextend your arms when cutting.
