5.5 Warning notices for chainsaws
•
When the saw is running, keep all body parts away from the saw-chain.
Before starting the saw, ensure that nothing touches the saw-chain.
When
working with a chainsaw, a moment of carelessness can cause clothing or body
parts to be caught by the saw-chain.
• Do not work with this chainsaw on a tree unless you are especially
trained for this.
In the event of improper use of a chainsaw on a tree, there is a
risk of injury.
• When cutting a branch under tension, expect it to spring back.
When the
tension is released, the branch can hit the operator and/or take away control of
the chainsaw.
• Be particularly careful when cutting undergrowth and young trees.
Thin
material can get caught in the saw-chain and be ejected in your direction or
make you lose your balance.
•
Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the saw-chain not moving
and the guide bar pointing backwards. During transport and storage of
the chainsaw always attach the safety cover.
Careful handling of the
chainsaw reduces the likelihood of accidentally touching the running saw-chain.
• Follow the instructions for lubrication, chain tension and replacement of
accessories.
An improperly tensioned or lubricated chain can either break or
increase the kickback risk.
• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles
are slippery and cause loss of control.
Causes and prevention of kickback:
−
Kickback can occur when the tip of the guide bar touches an object or when the
timber bends and the saw-chain becomes caught in the cut.
−
Contact with the guide bar tip can, in some cases, lead to an unexpected
backwards reaction in which the guide bar is thrown up and in the direction of the
operator.
−
If the saw-chain becomes caught at the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can
quickly kick back towards the operator.
−
Each of these reactions can cause you to lose control over the saw and
potentially to get severely injured. Do not exclusively trust the safety devices built
into the chainsaw. As the user of a chainsaw, you should take different measures
to work accident and injury free.
