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 white 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 re-

versed hand conguration increases the risk of

personal injury and should never be done.

• Only ever hold the electric device by the han-

dles‘ insulated gripping surfaces because the

saw-chains may touch hidden cables. If the

cutting tool comes in contact with a live cable, this

may cause the device‘s exposed metal parts to be

energised. This, in turn, can lead to the user being

electrocuted.

• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.

Further protective equipment for head, hands,

legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protec-

tive clothing will reduce personal injury by ying de-

bris or accidentaI contact with the saw chain.

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

of a chain saw white up in a tree may result in per-

sonal in jury.

• 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 Iimb that is under tension be

alert for spring back. When the tension in the

wood bres is released the spring loaded Iimb 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 off

balance.

• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with

the chain saw switched off and away from your

body. When transporting or storing the chain

saw always t the guide bar cover. Proper han-

dling of the chain saw will reduce the Iikelihood of

accidentaI contact with the moving saw chain.

• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-

sioning 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 pur-

poses 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 different than intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

Causes and operator prevention of kickback

Beware 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 re-

verse reaction, 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 lose

control of the saw which could result in serious per-

sonal 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 in-

jury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/ or incor-

rect operating procedures or conditions and can be

avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

• Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and ngers encir-

cling the chain saw handles, with both hands on the

saw and position your body and arm to allow you to

resist kickback forces (Fig. L).

• 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 ena-

bles 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 mainte-

nance instructions for the saw chain.

• Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to in-

creased kickback.

Additional safety informations

• If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it

must be replaced by the manufacturer, a customer

service agent of the same or a similarly qualied

person in order to prevent hazards.

• Lay the extension cable in such a way that it will

not be caught by branches or similar during sawing.
