Handle the chainsaw



Turn off the machine before touching the chainsaw!



Risk of laceration!



Wear safety shoes and use appropriate tools!



Observe safety instructions!

A broken saw chain can result in serious injuries. Bystanders are therefore strictly prohibited from

entering the danger zone around the equipment.

When the chain is exchanged, it must be replaced with an inspected and sharpened chain or a new

chain.

When an inspected and sharpened chain is installed, the risk of breakage is considerably lower than

when a blunt chain is used.

A broken chain must be thoroughly inspected (for breaks/bends/cracks/etc.) before a new link is

added.

Check the saw unit every two hours:



Rotate the saw blade 180

0

if the felling grapple is used throughout the entire day. This will

ensure that both sides of the blade are exposed to even wear.



Is the chain still sharp enough?



Is the chain tensioner clamping plate gripping the saw blade firmly? This will prevent a slack or

broken chain.

Lubricate the nose sprocket when a new saw blade is installed.
