Special safety instructions for chainsaws

•

Always disconnect the mains plug before

performing any maintenance work, when

the chainsaw is not in use and before

changing any tools.

•

When the chainsaw is running make sure

that you keep all parts of your body away

from the chainsaw. Before starting up

the chainsaw make sure that it is not tou-

ching anything. When you are working with

a chainsaw, a single moment of carelessness

is all it takes to catch up clothing or parts of

your body in the chainsaw.

•

Do not use the chainsaw while up a tree

unless you are specially trained to do

this. Otherwise you risk injuring yourself if

you use the chainsaw inappropriately whilst

up a tree.

•

When cutting through a branch which is

under tension, take into account how it

will spring back once the cut has been

made. Once the tension in the wood fibers is

released the cut branch could hit the operator

and/or seize control of the chainsaw.

•

Carry the chainsaw with the chain statio-

nary and the guide rail facing backwards.

Always fit the protective cover when

transporting the chainsaw or putting it

into storage. Careful handling of the chain-

saw reduces the likelihood of accidental con-

tact with the saw chain while it is running.

•

Follow the instructions for lubrication,

chain tension and replacement of acces-

sories. A chain which is not properly tensi-

oned or lubricated can break or increase the

risk of kickback.

•

Keep the handles dry, clean and free from

oil and grease. Greasy or oily handles are

slippery and will result in loss of control.

•

Only use the chainsaw to cut wood. The

chain must only be used to perform the

work for which it is intended. For examp-

le: Never use the chainsaw to cut plastic

or brickwork, or building materials which

are not made of wood. Use of the chainsaw

for non-intended or non-approved work can

create dangerous situations.

•

Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with

fingers and thumbs hooked around the

handles. Steady yourself with your body

and arms in a position in which you can

control the kickback forces. Provided ap-

propriate measures are taken, an operator

should be capable of controlling the kickback

forces. Never let go of the chain saw.

•

Avoid abnormal working postures. This

prevents accidental contact with the tip of the

rail and offers better control over the chain-

saw in unexpected situations.

•

Always use the correct replacement rails

and saw chains recommended by the ma-

nufacturer. The use of incorrect replacement

rails or saw chains may result in breakage of

the chain or kickback.

•

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions

for sharpening and maintaining the saw

chain. The risk of kickback is increased if the

depth limiter is set too low.

•

Take special care when cutting undergrowth

and young trees. The thin material can be-

come caught in the saw chain and whip back

towards you or make you lose your balance.

•

Do not cut into the ground, metal fences or

similar unsuitable items and materials.

•

We recommend that people who are using a

chainsaw for the first time should arrange for

a well-versed person to instruct them on how

to work with a chainsaw and the safety equip-

ment, for example in the form of practical

exercises (cutting wood on a sawing trestle,

etc.).

•

Keep your working area free of obstacles and

ensure that you have adequate freedom of

movement. Do not work in constricted areas

in which you could continuously get too close

to the operating saw chain.

•

Keep your working area tidy and free of off-

cuts and other obstacles over which you

could stumble.

•

Ensure that you maintain a steady foothold.

Only use the chainsaw on flat surfaces where

you have a firm footing. Never work on lad-

ders or on slippery surfaces on which you

could lose your balance or otherwise lose

control of the chainsaw.

•

Before you start felling branches: Make sure

that there is nobody within a range of at least

two and a half times the length of the branch.

•

Take the weather conditions into account

when felling trees. Do not fell trees in strong

or gusting wind. Do not fell trees in frost con-

ditions or on frozen, icy ground. Do not fell

trees in rain or if visibility is poor.

•

Comply with local regulations.

•

Always hold the chainsaw with your right

hand on the rear handle and your left hand on

the front handle. Holding the chainsaw with

your hands in the wrong positions increases

the risk of injury and must therefore be avoi-

ded.
