5 HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
Maintenance
– Never modify the chain saw in anyway.
– Always maintain the chain saw in good working order regularly serviced by an authorised
service agent.
– Ensure the handles remain clean and free from oil, fuel & moisture.
– Only use replacement parts supplied by the manufacturer.
– Ensure the chain does not rotate while the saw is at idle.
– All safety devices must remain fitted, functioning and where possible serviced, especially
the chain brake.
– Only use fresh, clean and good quality fuel/oil mix in the chain saw.
– Regularly inspect the chain lubricant level, regularly topping up. When the chain saw is
running at high speed the chain oil will dispel quicker and require checking/adjusting more
frequently.
– Never operate the chain saw without chain oil.
– Never operate the chain saw with a mal adjusted or blunt chain as this is highly dangerous.
– When the chain saw has warmed up, stop the chain & engine before checking/adjusting
the tension.
– Never refuel in close proximity to naked flames, sparks or other sources of ignition, e.g.
cigarettes.
– Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Avoid spillage while refuelling.
– Wipe up and correctly dispose of any fuel spillage immediately with a suitable medium.
– Ensure the correct ratio of fuel and oil are used.
– Do not set down a hot chain saw on or near easily combustible materials. e.g. dry leaves
and grass.
– Move away from the refuelling area before restarting the chain saw.
– Store fuel for short periods only and avoid mixing more than is required. Store in a
container specifically designed for petrochemical applications away from heat
and direct sun light.
– Prior to use check for chain oil distribution on a piece of paper or cut timber. Observe
spatter before continuing.
– After each use clean the chain saw thoroughly.
– Regularly check external nuts and fixings to ensure vibration caused by normal use has not
begun to loosen them.
– Periodically remove all shavings and sawdust from the visible parts of the chain brake
mechanisms.
Storage
– Thoroughly clean/service the chain saw and refit the bar guard. Remove the spark plug
ignition lead from the back of the spark plug and position the lead to avoid
accidental reconnection.
– Locate the machine out the reach of children, in a dry locked unit.
– Remove all residual fuel from the fuel tank before storing.
