• 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 fit the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning 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 purposes 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:
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 reverse 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 personal 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 injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling
medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
6) SerVICe
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
chainsaw 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 while 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 reversed hand configuration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring.
Saw
chains contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.
Operation of a chain saw
while up in a tree may result in personal injury
.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only
when standing on fixed, 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 limb that is under tension be alert for spring
back.
When the tension in the wood fibers is released the spring
loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw
out of control.
