General working instructions
IMPORTANT!
This section describes basic safety rules for using a chain saw. This information is never a
substitute for professional skill and experience. If you get into a situation where you feel unsafe,
stop and seek expert advice. Contact your chain saw dealer, service agent or an experienced
chainsaw user. Do not attempt any task that you are not sure you can handle!
Before using a chain saw you must:
Understand the effects of kickback and how to avoid them.
Understand the difference between cutting with the top and bottom edges of the bar.
Wear personal protective equipment
.
Basic safety rules
1. Look around you:
To ensure that people, animals or other things
cannot affect your control of the machine.
To make sure that none of the above might come
within reach of your saw or be injured by falling
trees.
CAUTION!
Follow the instructions above, but do not
use a chain saw in a situation where you cannot call for
help in case of an accident
2. Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
3. Take great care when removing small branches and
avoid cutting bushes (i.e. cutting many small branches
at the same time). Small branches can be grabbed by
the chain and thrown back at you, causing serious
injury
4. Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the
area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping
ground
5. Take great care when cutting a tree that is in tension.
A tree that is in tension may spring back to its normal
position before or after being cut. If you position
yourself incorrectly, or make the cut in the wrong place
the tree may hit you or the machine and cause you to
lose control. Both situations can cause serious
personal injury.
6. Before moving your chain saw, switch off the engine and lock the chain using the chain brake.
Carry the chain saw with the bar and chain pointing backwards. Fit a guard to the bar before
transporting the chain saw or carrying it for any distance.
