5.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHAINSAW USE
This chainsaw must only be used by trained tree surgeons or other suitably qualified and
competent persons.
WARNING!
For your safety, please read and understand these instructions before assembling,
operating or maintaining this machine.
WARNING! Read the instructions carefully.
Chainsaws pose a very significant health and safety risk, even to careful and informed
operators. For example, the use of a chainsaw in the workplace requires extensive training
and certification. The dangers of using and applying a chainsaw should not be taken lightly.
Seek guidance, training or employ a professional to carry out the task if uncertain or nervous
of the potential risks and dangers involved.
WARNING! Danger of death!
WARNING! Use of this product can pose a danger to wildlife. Before
attempting to use this machine, check the area, particularly long grass and
under bushes for signs of life: if necessary relocate.
NOTE: Not all animals will be deterred by the noise of the product alone.
Do not operate this machine near animals or bystanders.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
– Due to the nature and ferocity of a petrol driven chainsaw, no PPE equipment can provide
100% protection against chainsaw cuts.
– Equipment specifically designed for use with a chainsaw shall be worn, consisting of;
•
Safety helmet (EN 397).
•
Mesh visor (EN 1731).
•
Hearing protection (EN 352).
•
Gloves (EN 381-7) with protective guard on back of left hand.
•
Leg protection (EN 381-5).
•
Non-slip boots (EN 345-2).
•
High visibility jacket.
Leg protection is achieved with a chain clogging material designed to
stop the chain before it penetrates fully through and into flesh.
The gloves, boots and leg protection should be marked with the
symbol (right) and indicate the chain speed to which they have been
tested.
Preparation
– Before use, inspect the guide bar grooves for distortion, the guide bar rail for cracks, the
nose sprocket teeth condition, chain tension and condition, drive sprocket condition and
operation and operation of the chain brake.
– Never operate the chain saw alone in case of emergency. Have an assistant in
visual/communicative range.
– Ensure the site is assessed for risk potential and a safe working distance is marked to
prevent bystanders entering.
– In case of accident, ensure means of contact with emergency services are possible and
adequate information is available to facilitate an urgent recovery.
– Always carry a basic first aid kit containing large wound dressings.
– Identify all services (e.g. gas, water, electric, phone etc.), particularly overhead before
felling commences.
