Because a chainsaw is a
high-speed, wood-cutting
tool some
special safety
precautions
must be
observed in addition to
those that generally apply when working
with an axe or hand saw.
It is important that you
read and understand the
owner’s manual before
using your tool for the first
time. Non-observance of
the following safety
precautions may cause serious or even
fatal injury.
Read and observe the instructions in the
chainsaw manual – especially the safety
precautions.
Always observe local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
If you have never used a chainsaw
before:
Have your
dealer show you how
to operate the chainsaw or attend a
special course of training in chainsaw
operation.
Minors should never be allowed to use a
chainsaw or the sawbuck.
Bystanders, especially children, and
animals should not be allowed in the
area where a sawbuck and chainsaw
are in use.
The operator is responsible for avoiding
injury to third parties and damage to
their property.
You must be in good physical condition
and mental health to operate a power
tool and not under the influence of any
substance (drugs, alcohol) which might
impair vision, dexterity or judgment.
Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting, but allow
complete freedom of
movement. Wear overalls
or jeans with a reinforced
cut retardant insert or cut
retardant chaps - a safety
combination is recommended.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarfs,
neckties, jewelry or anything that could
become entangled. Confine long hair
(e.g. with a hair net).
Wear steel-toed
safety
boots
with non-slip
soles.
Wear
safety glasses
and
hearing protection
(earplugs or earmuffs).
Wear
heavy-duty,
non-slip gloves
,
preferably made of
chrome leather.
Spikes
The spikes of the support and spike
frame are very sharp. Handle with care
to reduce the risk of injury.
