ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR CHAINSAW
Do not cut vines
and/or small underbrush (a diameter of less than 3 in.).
Silencer surfaces are very hot during and immediately after operation of the
chainsaw;
keep all body parts away from the silencer. Serious burns may occur if
contact is made with the silencer.
Always hold the chainsaw with both hands when the engine is running.
Use
a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chainsaw handles.
Never let anyone use the chainsaw who has not received adequate
instructions in its proper use.
This applies to rentals as well as privately-owned
saws.
Before you start the engine,
make sure the saw chain is not contacting any
object.
Wear snug-fitting clothing.
Always wear heavy, long trousers, boots and gloves.
Do not wear jewellery, shorts, sandals or go barefoot. Loose clothing could be
drawn into the engine or catch the chain or underbrush. Wear overalls, jeans or
chaps made of cut-resistant material or that contain cut-resistant inserts. Secure
hair so that it is above shoulder length.
WARNING
Wear safety clothing which is designed for chainsaw operators.
Wear non-slip safety footwear and heavy-duty gloves
to improve your grip and
to protect your hands.
Wear eye protection which is marked to comply with BS EN166, as well as
hearing and head protection,
when operating this equipment.
Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area.
Do not allow other persons
to be nearby during starting or cutting with the chainsaw.
Note:
The size of the work area depends on the job being performed as well as
the size of the tree or work piece involved. For example, felling a tree requires a
larger work area than making other cuts (i.e. bucking cuts, etc.).
Follow the sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Never operate a chainsaw that is damaged, improperly adjusted or has been
modified (particularly guards or safety devices), or is not completely and
securely assembled.
Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle
control trigger is released. If the saw chain moves at idle speed, the carburettor
may need adjusting. If the saw chain still moves at idle speed after adjustment has
been made, contact an authorized service centre for adjustment and discontinue
use until the repair is made.
Do not smoke during refueling.
