Cordless Chain saw safety
warnings:
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
Before starting work, check that the chain saw is in proper working
order and that its condition complies with the safety regulations.
Check
in particular that:
• The run-down brake is working properly;
• The chain brake is working properly;
• The bar and the sprocket cover are fitted correctly;
• The chain has been sharpened and tensioned in accordance with the
egulations;
6.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.
Operation of a chain saw while up in a
tree may result in personal injury.
7. 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.
8.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back.
