Safety instructions for chainsaws

• Keep all parts of your body in safe distance

from the saw when running. Before starting the

saw, make sure the saw chain does not touch

anything. A moment of inattention when working

with the chainsaw is able to cause the saw chain to

catch your clothes or parts of your body.

• Use your right hand to hold the chainsaw by its

rear handle and your left hand to hold it by its front

handle. Holding the chainsaw the opposite way incre-

ases the risk of injury and you must not do that.

• Wear protective glasses and ear protectors.

Further, wearing head, hand and leg protection

equipment is recommended. Suitable protective

clothing minimises the risk of injury by thrown-away

wood chips and possible contact with the saw chain.

• Do not work on trees with the chainsaw. There is

a risk of injury when working on a tree.

• Provide safe posture at all times and use the

chainsaw only when standing on a solid, safe

and level surface. A slippery or unstable surface,

such as ladder, may lead to loss of balance or loss

of control over the chainsaw.

• When cutting a tense branch, be sure to know

that the branch will bounce back. If tension in

the wood  bres gets released, the tense branch

may hit the operator and/or cause a loss of control

over the chainsaw.

• Be especially careful when cutting scrubs

and saplings. Thin material may get caught in

the chainsaw and hit you or you may lose your

balance.

• Carry the chainsaw by the front handle in a

switched-o condition and the saw chain must

be de ected from your body. Fit a protection

cover on the chainsaw whenever it is trans-

ported or stored. Careful chainsaw treatment

reduces the likelihood of an accidental contact

with the running saw chain.

• Follow the lubrication, chain tension and

accessory equipment replacement instructions.

A chain that is not tightened or lubricated in a

professional manner may crack or increase the risk

of backlash.

• Keep the handles dry, clean and with no oil and

fat. Handles dirty with fat or oil are slippery and

lead to loss of control.

• Wood to be cut only. Do not use the chainsaw

for works for which it has not been designed –

example: do not use the chainsaw to cut plastic

material, masonry or building materials not

made of wood. Using the chainsaw for works that

are in con ict with the designation may lead to

dangerous situations.

Backlash causes and prevention:

Backlash may take place when the saw bar point

touches an item or when the wood bends and the

saw chain gets stuck in the cutting.

In many cases, a contact with the bar point may lead

to a situation when the operator unexpectedly bends

backward and the bar is ejected upward toward the

operator as a result.

Sticking of the saw chain on the upper edge of the

bar may throw the bar intensely o toward the

operator.

Each such reaction may lead to losing control over the

saw and you may get seriously injured. Do not fully

rely on the safety equipment  tted in the chain-

saw. As the chainsaw user, you should take various

measures to be able to work without any accident

and injury.

Backlash is a result of inappropriate or wrong use of

the electric tools. It can be prevented by appropriate

preventive measures described below:

• Hold the saw  rmly with both hands with thumbs

and  ngers embracing the chainsaw handles. Put

your body and hands to such a position in which

you are able to resist the backlash. If appropriate

measures are taken, the operator may get the

backlash under control. Never put the chainsaw

out of your hands.

• Avoid abnormal body posture and do not cut

above the shoulder level. This will prevent a

contact with the bar point and the chainsaw will

be controlled better in unexpected situations.

• Spare bars and saw chains speci ed by the manuf-

acturer to be used at all times. Wrong spare bars

and saw chains may lead to chain overloading and/

or backlash.

• Follow the saw chain sharpening and servicing

instructions of the manufacturer. Too low depth

limiters increase the risk of backlash.

Observe national regulations and instructions for

chain saws operation.

Take care to prevent from fuel and oil leakage during

transport.

The dust that arises when working with this tool can

be detrimental to health and therefore not reach the

body. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
