44. If the chainsaw comes into contact with earth, stones, nails or other
foreign objects, withdraw the plug immediately and check the chain as
well as the bar.
45. Ensure that no chain oil penetrates into the earth or sewage. Always
place the chainsaw on something that will absorb any oil dripping from
the bar or chain.
2.4. Warning to the danger of recoil (“kickback”)
46. Attention: If the tip of the bar contacts a hard object while the motor is run-
ning, the saw may recoil danger-ously. In recoiling, the chainsaw is flung
upwards at high speed towards the person holding the chainsaw.
47. Do not touch wood or branches with the bar tip.
48. If possible, use a stand.
49. Always keep an eye on the bar tip.
50. Only place a running saw on the object to be cut. Never start the ma-
chine while the chain rests on something.
51. So called piercing cuts with the bar tip may only be carried out by
trained personnel.
2.5. Instructions on safe working techniques
52. Before starting to work ensure that there is sufficient light.
53. Always maintain a normal body posture when operating the device.
Always keep your balance.
54. Do not work with your body bent forwards.
55. Ensure that you are standing securely and do not work on snow, ice
or newly-barked wood. Danger of slipping! When working on a slope,
make sure to stand above or laterally in relation to the trunk or lying
tree. Take care of rolling trunks.
56. Working on ladders, scaffoldings or trees is forbidden.
57. Do not use chainsaw above shoulder height.
58. Use the chainsaw only to cut wood. It is absolutely forebidden to cut
plastics or minerals (gas concrete).
59. Ensure that the wood cannot twist while it is being cut.
60. Never climb on a tree to cut wood.
61. Watch out for splintering wood. While you are sawing you may be in-
jured by flying wood chips.
62. Do not use the chainsaw to lever or move the wood.
63. Only cut with the lower section of the saw. The saw will be repulsed
towards you if you try and cut with the upper section of the saw.
64. Ensure that the wood is free of stones, nails or other foreign objects.
65. We recommend that first-time users are instructed practically as to the
correct use of the chainsaw and the required personal safety equipment
by an experienced operator; the
cutting of round wood or
logs should be
supported on a log stand or similar rack-type device first.
66. Keep the running chainsaw from touching the ground or wire fences. Do
not cut thin wood or timber that is already sawn into small pieces.
