• Beware of recoiling parts of the tree. Practise extreme
caution when cutting small parts of the tree. Flexible
material can get caught in the saw-chain and be eject-
ed in your direction or make you lose your balance.
• Beware of recoiling parts of the tree. This particularly
applies to bent or loaded branches. Avoid coming in
contact with the branch or the saw when the tension
on the wood is released.
• Keep your working area clear. Clear the path of
branches so you do not trip over them.
Trimming
• Do not start trimming the tree before it has been felled.
Only then can you carry out the trimming safely and
properly.
• Leave larger branches underneath the felled tree and
use them as a support while you continue working.
• Start at the foot of the felled tree and work your way
up to the top. Remove smaller parts of the tree with
one cut.
• Make sure that the tree is always between you and
the saw.
• Remove larger, supporting branches using the method
from Section „Log division without support“.
• Always remove small freely suspended parts of the
tree with a top cut. They may fall into the saw or trap
it if you use an undercut.
Pruning (Fig. K)
m
CAUTION
Prune branches only at or below shoulder height. Never
cut branches above shoulder height. Leave that kind of
work to a professional.
•
For the first cut (Pos. 1), cut 1/3 of the way into the
lower part of the branch.
• Then cut all the way through the branch with the sec-
ond cut (Pos. 2). The third cut (Pos. 3) is a top cut
with which you separate the branch from the trunk at
a distance of 2.5 to 5cm.
5.8 Remaining risks
m
DANGER
MECHANICAL HAZARDS
created by cutting and impact, related to the saw chain.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
from contact with parts under high voltage (direct con-
tact) or parts which have become under high voltage un-
der faulty conditions (indirect contact).
THERMAL HAZARDS
which can result in burns, scalds and other injuries, cre-
ated by possible contact of persons with objects or ma-
terials with high temperature including the radiation of
heat sources.
NOISE HAZARDS
which can result in hearing losses (deafness) and oth-
er physiological disorders (e.g. loss of balance, loss of
awareness), and interference with auditory signals and
speech communication.
VIBRATION HAZARDS
which can result in peripheral circulatory and nervous
functional disturbances in the hand-arm system, such as
white finger disease.
HAZARDS FROM CONTACT
with or inhalation of harmful fluids, gases, mists, fumes
and dusts related to exhaust gases.
HAZARDS
from unhealthy postures or excessive efforts related to
machine use.
HAZARDS
from unexpected start-up, unexpected overrun/over-
speed from failure/disorder of the control system relat-
ed to failure in the handles and position of the controls.
Hazards from failure of the control system related to
handle strength, position of controls and marking.
Hazards from break up (chain) during operation related
to saw chain.
Hazards from ejection of objects or fluids related to chip
discharge and fuel spillage.
Hazards from dropping the chain-saw while working in
a tree.
RISK OF INJURY !
Contact with the saw-chain can lead to fatal cutting in-
juries.
Never put your hands into the running saw-chain.
RISK OF KICKBACK!
Kickback can lead to fatal cutting injuries.
RISK OF BURNING!
The chain and the guide bar heat up during operation.
Behaviour during an emergency
Start First Aid measures relevant to the injury and re-
quest medical help as quickly as possible. Prevent the
injured person from further injury and keep him/her rest-
ed. For potentially occurring accidents, the First Aid kit,
according to DIN 13164, should always be handy at the
work place. Material taken from the First Aid kit must be
replaced immediately. When you are requesting help,
give the following information:
1. Location of accident
2. Type of accident
3. Number of injured people
4. Type of injuries
Store all safety notices and instructions for the future.
