Before you start cutting into a tree to drop it, make sure you have enough gas in the tank to finish the job without having to stop and refuel.
Always find a clear escape route.
Misplaced confidence leads to injury.
Have a way to free a stuck saw. Wedges, 2nd saw, falling lever.
Don't walk around with a running chain.

never cut alone
(one you don't always see in the safety part of the owners manual any more): don't let anyone stand in diectly front of you. Should the chain part, they could get a face full of chain.
Most of the owners manuals have a pretty good safety section.
Not every point is perfectly clear. If there's one you don't quite understand. Ask.

Congrats on the saw. I've got a buddy at work that cuts everything with a 2150.
When you get some time on the saw and want to know about better chain, come back and do a search. There are much better options that what came on the saw or is available at you local big box store.
