accordance with these instructions, taking into account

the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations dierent from those

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS:

• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain

when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the

chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting

anything. A moment of inattention while operating chain saws

may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the

saw chain.

• Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on

the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.

Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand conguration

increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.

• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further

protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is

recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce

personal injury by ying debris or accidental contact with the

saw chain.

• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain

saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.

• Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw

only when standing on xed, secure and level surface.

Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a

loss of balance or control of the chain saw.

• When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for

spring back. When the tension in the wood bres is released

the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw

the chain saw out of control.

• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings.

The slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped

toward you or pull you o balance.

• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain

saw switched o and away from your body. When trans-

porting or storing the chain saw always t the guide

bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the

likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and

changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated

chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.

• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.

• Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not

intended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting

plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use

of the chain saw for operations dierent than intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION

OF KICKBACK:

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar

touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the

saw chain in the cut.

Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reac-

tion, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.

Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push

the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.

Either of these reactions may cause you to loose control of the

saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely

exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw.

As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your

cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating

procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper

precautions as given below:

• Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and ngers encirc-

ling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw

and position your body and arm to allow you to resist

kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the

operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of

the chain saw.

• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.

This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better

control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.

• Only use replacement bars and chains specied by the

manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may

cause chain breakage and/or kickback.

• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance

instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge

height can lead to increased kickback.

• Techniques for using the electric chain-saw

Always observe the safety regulations and use the most suitable

sawing techniques (see chapter 7 for instructions and exam-

ples).

Arrange the power cable so that it does not get tangled in

branches or other obstacles.

• Safe carrying of the saw

Whenever the machine is to be handled or transported you

must:

– turn o the engine, wait for the chain to stop and unplug the

machine from the mains;

– mount the bar cover;

– only hold the machine using the handgrips and position the

bar in the opposite direction to that used during operation.

When using a vehicle to transport the machine, position it so that

it can cause no danger to persons and fasten it rmly.

• Recommendation for the rst-time users

Before felling or delimbing for the rst time, make sure:

– you have been specically trained to use this type of equip-

ment;

– you have carefully read the safety regulations and user in-

structions contained in this manual;

– you practise rst on logs on the ground or attached to trestles,

in order to get familiar with the machine and the most suitable

cutting techniques.
