When felling in the vicinity of roads,
railways, power lines, etc., take extra
precautions. If necessary, inform the
police, utility company or railway
authority.
Cutting
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
Use the shortest possible guide bar: The
chain, guide bar and chain sprocket
must match each other and your saw.
Position the saw so that your body is
clear of the cutting attachment.
Use your chain saw for cutting only. It is
not designed for prying or shoveling
away limbs, roots or other objects.
Do not underbuck freely hanging limbs.
To reduce the risk of injury, take special
care when cutting shattered wood
because of the risk of injury from slivers
being caught and thrown in your
direction.
Make sure your power tool does not
touch any foreign materials: Stones,
nails, etc. may be flung off, damage the
saw chain or cause the saw to kick back
unexpectedly.
When cutting with the bottom of the
guide bar (overbucking): Never work
without the spiked bumper because the
saw may pull you forwards and off
balance. Always engage the spiked
bumper in the wood first and then start
cutting.
Start the cut with the chain running at full
speed.
Feed during the cut:
–
Carefully raise the rear handle.
–
Control the saw with the front
handle.
–
Use the spiked bumper as a pivot.
Re-positioning in the cut:
–
Carefully withdraw the saw until the
spiked bumper is clear of the log.
–
Continue cutting by carefully
applying pressure to the front
handle.
–
Re-engage the spiked bumper.
Always pull the saw out of the cut with
the chain running.
Note when reaching the end of a cut that
the saw is no longer supported in the
kerf. You have to take the full weight of
the unit since it might otherwise go out of
control.
If on a slope, stand on the uphill side of
the log. Watch out for rolling logs.
When working at heights:
–
Always use a lift bucket
–
Never work on a ladder or in a tree
–
Never work on an insecure support
–
Do not work above shoulder height
–
Never operate your power tool with
one hand
