tions. ● Before operation, make sure that the device, all
control elements including the chain brake and safety
devices are working properly. Check for loose locks, en-
sure that all protective devices and handles are correct-
ly fitted and securely fastened. Only use the device
when it is in a correct condition.
● Never use the device
if the trigger on the handle does not switch on and off
correctly.
● Replace any worn or damaged parts before
operating the device. ● Risk of kickback due to loss of
balance. Avoid an abnormal posture, keep a stable,
safe footing and maintain your balance.
● Immediately
stop the device and check for damage or identify the
cause of the vibration if the device has been dropped,
hit or vibrates abnormally. Have damage repaired by the
authorised Customer Service or replace the device.
몇 CAUTION
● Wear full eye protection and hear-
ing protection, strong and sturdy gloves and head pro-
tection when operating the device. Wear a face mask
when the work is dusty.
● Wear long, heavy trousers,
sturdy shoes and well-fitting gloves when working with
the device. Do not work barefoot. Do not wear any jew-
ellery, sandals or short trousers.
● Risk of injury when
loose fitting clothing, hair or jewellery is caught by mov-
ing parts of the device. Keep clothing and jewellery
away from moving parts of the device. Tie long hair
back.
● Hearing protection can impair your ability to
hear warning sounds, so pay attention to hazards in
your vicinity and in the work area.
● Only use accesso-
ries and spare parts which are approved by the manu-
facturer. Only original accessories and original spare
parts ensure that the appliance will run fault-free and
safely.
Chain saw safety warnings
● Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the chain saw is operating. Before
you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain
is not contacting anything.
A moment of inatten-
tion while operating chain saws may cause entan-
glement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
● Always hold the chain saw with your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the
front handle.
Holding the chain saw with a reversed
hand configuration increases the risk of personal in-
jury and should never be done.
● Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Saw chains con-
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
● Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protec-
tive clothing will reduce personal injury by flying de-
bris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
● Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of
a chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal
injury.
● Always keep proper footing and operate the
chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces
such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or con-
trol of the chain saw.
● When cutting a limb that is under tension be
alert for spring back.
When the tension in the
wood fibres is released, the spring loaded limb may
strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of
control.
● Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings.
The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off bal-
ance.
● Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the
chain saw switched off and away from your
body. When transporting or storing the chain
saw always fit the guide bar cover.
Proper han-
dling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
● Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-
sioning and changing accessories.
Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or in-
crease the chance for kickback.
● Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
● Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purpos-
es not intended. For example: do not use chain
saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials.
Use of the chain saw for oper-
ations different than intended could result in a haz-
ardous situation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide
rail touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse
reaction, kicking the guide rail up and back towards the
operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide rail
may push the guide rail rapidly back towards the opera-
tor.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control
of the saw, which could result in serious personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into
your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or in-
jury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect op-
erating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below:
● Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers en-
circling the chain saw handles, with both hands
on the saw and position your body and arm to al-
low you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forc-
es can be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain
saw.
● Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height.
This helps prevent unintended tip contact
and enables better control of the chain saw in unex-
pected situations.
● Only use replacement bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement bars
and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kick-
back.
● Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
De-
creasing the depth gauge height can lead to in-
creased kickback.
