5 Safety instructions

DANGER

All applicable rules concerning work safety, the safety

guidelines stated in the chapter Safety Instructions,

and all other generally applicable health and work

principles must be adhered to without exception. The

manufacturer is not liable for any damages caused

by unauthorised alterations to this machine.

5.1 General safety instructions

- Before using the machine, carefully and thor-

oughly read the attached safety instructions and

this user manual.

- Save all included documents and never pro-

vide the machine to others without these docu-

ments.

5.2 Safety warnings for the

SSP 200 EB sword saw

- Keep all parts of your body clear of the

saw chain when the machine is turned on.

Before turning on the sword saw, make

sure the chain is not touching anything. A

second’s distraction when the sword saw is on

may cause your clothes or body get caught in

the saw chain.

- Always hold the chain saw with your right

hand on the rear handle and your left

handon the front handle. Holding the chain

saw with a reversed hand conﬁ guration increas-

es the risk of personal injury and should never

be done.

- Use eye and ear protection. Use of addi-

tional protective equipment for the head,

hands, legs and feet is recommended. Ad-

equate protective clothing reduces the risk of

bodily injury from ﬂ ying particles or through

accidental contact with the saw chain.

- Do not use the sword saw in a tree. Us-

ing the sword saw in a tree may lead to bodily

injury. The machine is not designed for such

use.

- Always stand in the correct position and

work with the sword saw only if you are on

a solid, safe, even surface. Any slippery or

unstable surfaces, such as ladders, etc., might

cause loss of balance or control over the sword

saw.

- Carry the sword saw with the guide bar

away from your body and the safety cover

mounted.

- Follow the instructions for lubrication,

chain tension and component replacement.

An incorrectly tightened or greased chain may

break or increase the risk of kickback.

- Keep the grips dry, clean and clear of oil

and grease. Greasy or oily handles are slippery

and may cause loss of control.

- Cut wood only. Do not use the sword saw

for other purposes than those described in

this manual. For instance: Do not use the

sword saw to cut plastic, masonry or non-

wood building materials. Any use of the sword

saw for purposes other than those described in

this manual may cause a hazardous situation.

- Hold the power tools on insulated gripping

surfaces only, because the saw chain can

come into contact with hidden power lines

or with its own power cord. Touching the

saw chain with a “live” electrical conductor may

cause the exposed metal parts of the electrome-

chanical tool to become “live” and lead to injury

of the user by electric shock.

- We recommend using a residual-current device

with actuating current of 30 mA or less.

- Carry the chain saw by the front handle

with the chain saw switched off and away

from your body. When transporting or stor-

ing the chain saw always ﬁ t the guide bar

cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will

reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with

the moving saw chain.

Causes of kickback and how to avoid them:

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the

guide bar touches an object, or when the wood

closes and grips the saw chain inside the cut. In

some cases a touch to the tip may cause instant

kickback, throwing the guide bar upward and back

toward the user. Gripping the saw chain along the

tip of the guide bar may pull the guide bar back

toward the user. Each of these reactions can cause

loss of control over the saw and may lead to serious

bodily injury. Do not rely exclusively on the safety

devices built into your sword saw. As a sword saw

user, you must take multiple precautions to per-

form your cutting operations without accident or

injury. Kickback is caused by improper use of the

tool or incorrect working methods or conditions,

and can be avoided by properly following the in-

structions below:

- Hold ﬁ rmly with your thumbs and ﬁ ngers

around the sword saw grip, with both

hands on the saw, and position your body

and arms for resistance to kickback. Kick-

back can be controlled by the user, provided all

relevant safety measures are followed. Do not

let go of the chain saw.

- Do not reach or cut above shoulder height.

This prevents unwanted tip contact, and pro-

vides better control over the sword saw in un-

expected situations.

- Use only manufacturer-speciﬁ ed replace-

ment bars and chains. Any unsuitable re-

placement bars and chains may cause kickback

or chain breakage.

- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for

sharpening and maintenance of the saw

chain. A drop in the depth gauge might lead to

increased kickback.
