5 HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
8
– Ensure a distance of at least twice the tree height is observed from all obstacles and
dangers.
– Keep bystanders a minimum of 10M away and all access points into the work area marked
accordingly.
– Tree felling must only be carried out by a single individual and only after the danger
zones and escape routes have been identified and cleared.
– Do not fell when wind conditions may influence/control the direction of felling.
– Close observation and inspection for dead or diseased wood and insecure limbs or
branches must be carried out prior to any cutting. Dead wood can cause unexpected
reactions during a routine felling.
– Remove any scrub or other obstructions from the area to enable a quick escape route and
ensure visibility of the chain is not impeded during cutting.
– Plan work to reduce manual lifting, i.e. lightest off cuts move furthest.
– If work is a result of wind, ensure no unstable trees or limbs pose any further danger.
– Never stand on anything other than the ground.
– When preparing to work on the ground, e.g. cross cutting or limbing, ensure no obstacles
are hidden or obscured from view. Contact with such an object can result in loss of footing
or kickback from the chain saw.
Saw operation
– Do not operate the chain saw without being completely familiar on all safety aspects,
functions and most importantly how to stop the chain saw in an emergency.
– Do not operate the chain saw above shoulder height.
– Regularly clear cut material as build up will create a hazard under foot.
– Never use the chain saw if the stop switch is FAULTY or not functional.
– Prior to each use inspect the chain saw for damage. Ensure all safety features and
mechanisms function correctly and that the cutting means is of the type and design as
specified by the manufacturer.
– Adopt a secure and balanced stance, bend knees instead of back. Hold the saw close into
your body for balance.
– Maintain a good grip with both hands on the saw. The chain saw is solely designed for
operation of the rear handle by the right hand and the left handle on the front handle.
Grip the front handle with left thumb underneath to allow resistance in case of kickback.
– Stop the chain saw before setting it aside.
– Only begin cutting with throttle at maximum.
– Kickback occurs when the saw chain is stopped suddenly resulting in the tip or the guide
bar being violently thrown up towards the operator’s head/face. Correct stance and
knowledge of the operating procedure can greatly reduce that risk.
– Operate the chain brake before moving with the saw. If moving more than a short
distance, stop the saw and refit the bar guard.
WARNING: during and after use, take care not to touch the hot engine parts, in particular
the exhaust muffler.
– Do not attempt to use the chain saw if tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol or other
drugs.
