3. The chain saw must not be used for forestry work,
i.e. for felling and limbing standing timber. The
chain saw cable does not provide the operator
with the mobility and safety required for such
work.
4. The chain saw is not intended for commercial use.
5. Do not overload the chain saw.
Personal protective equipment
1. Clothing must be close-fitting, but must not
obstruct mobility.
2. Wear the following protective clothing during
work:
• A tested safety helmet, if a hazard is
presented by falling branches or similar;
• A face mask or goggles;
• Suitable ear protection (ear muffs, custom or
mouldable ear plugs). Octave brand analysis
upon request.
• Firm leather safety gloves;
• Long trousers manufactured from strong
fabric;
• Protective dungarees of cut-resistant fabric;
• Safety shoes or boots with non-slip soles,
steel toes, and cut-resistant fabric lining;
• A breathing mask, when carrying out work
which produces dust (e.g. sawing dry wood).
Safe working practices
1. Do not operate the chain saw in the vicinity of
flammable dust or gases, as the motor generates
sparks and presents a risk of explosion.
2. Work only on firm ground and with a good footing.
Pay particular attention to obstacles (e.g. the
cable) in the working area. Take particular care
where moisture, ice, snow, freshly cut wood or
bark may make surfaces slippery. Do not stand on
ladders or trees when using the saw.
3. Take particular care when working on sloping
ground; rolling trunks and branches pose a
potential hazard.
4. Clean the area to be cut of foreign objects such as
sand, stones, nails, wire, etc. Foreign objects
damage the bar and chain, and can lead to
dangerous kickback.
5. Take particular care when cutting in the vicinity of
wire fences. Do nut cut into the fence, as the saw
may kick back.
6. Do not cut into the ground.
7. Cut pieces of wood singly, not in bunches or
stacks.
8. Avoid using the saw to cut thin branches and roots,
as these can become entangled in the chain saw.
Loss of balance presents a hazard.
9. Use a secure support (trestle) when cutting sawn
timber.
10. Do not use the chain saw to prise off or brush
away pieces of wood and other objects.
11. Guide the chain saw such that no part of your
body is within the extended path of the saw chain
(see figure).

Kickback
1. Hazardous kickback may arise during work with
the chain saw. Kickback arises when the tip of the
bar (in particular the upper quarter) comes into
contact with wood or another solid object. This
causes the chainsaw to be deflected in the
direction of the operator.
006919
2. In order to avoid kickback, observe the following:
• Never begin the cut with the tip of the bar.
• Never use the tip of the bar for cutting. Take
particular care when resuming cuts which
have already been started.
• Start the cut with the chain running.
• Always sharpen the chain correctly. In
particular, set the depth gauge to the correct
height (refer to "Sharpening the chain " for
details).
• Never saw through several branches at a
time.
• When limbing, take care to prevent the bar
from coming into contact with other branches.
• When bucking, keep clear of adjacent trunks.
Always observe the bar tip.
• Use a trestle.
Transport and storage
1. Carry the chain saw by the front handle only, with
the bar pointing backwards.
2. Keep the chain saw in a secure, dry and locked
room out of the reach of children. Do not store the
chain saw outdoors.
