• Ensure that the chain is always sharpened correctly. Pay special attention to the
height of the depth limiter.
• Never cut several branches at the same time. When cutting a branch ensure that
no other branch is touched.
• When crosscutting a trunk be aware of the trunks next to it.
Working behavior/Method of working
• Only use the chain saw during good light and visibility periods. Be aware of slippery
or wet areas, and of ice and snow (risk of slipping). The risk of slipping is extremely
high when working on recently peeled wood (bark).
• Never work on unstable surfaces. Make sure that there are no obstacles in the
working area, risk of stumbling. Always ensure that you have a safe footing.
• Never saw above your shoulder height (11).
• Never saw while standing on a ladder (11).
• Never climb a tree and work without the appropriate restraining systems for the
operator and the saw. We recommend always working from a rising platform (cherry
picker, lift).
• Do not work leaning too far over.
• Guide the chain saw in such a way that no part of your body is within the elongated
swivelling range of the saw (12).
• Use the chain saw for sawing wood only.
• Avoid touching the ground with the chain saw while it is still running.
• Never use the chain saw for lifting up or removing pieces of wood or other objects.
• Remove foreign objects such as sand, stones and nails found within the working area.
Foreign objects may damage the sawing device and can cause dangerous kickback.
• When sawing precut timber use a safe support (sawing jack, 13). Do not steady the
workpiece with your foot, and do not allow anyone else to hold or steady it.
• For cutting down trees or performing crosscuts, the spike bumper (Z) must be applied
to the wood to be cut (13).
• Secure round pieces against rotation.
• Hold the saw firmly in place to avoid skating (skid movement) or bouncing of the
saw when starting a cut.
• At the end of the cut, be careful to keep your balance due to the “drop”.
• Take into account the direction and speed of the wind. Avoid sawdust and chain
oil mist.
• Do not touch the saw chain just after cutting. It is very hot and may cause burn injury.
• Before performing a crosscut firmly apply the front of the body to the timber, only
then can the timber be cut with the chain running. For this the chain saw is lifted at
the rear handle and guided with the tubular handle. The front of the body serves
as a centre of rotation. Continue by slightly pressing down the tubular handle and
simultaneously pulling back the chain saw. Apply the front of the body a little bit
deeper and once again lift the rear handle.
•
When the timber must be pierced for cutting or longitudinal cuts are to be
performed it is urgently recommended to have this carried out by specially
trained persons only
(high risk of kickback)
.
• The saw must be running whenever you remove the chain saw from the wood.
• When performing several cuts the throttle lever must be released in between.
• Be careful when cutting splintery wood. Cut pieces of wood may be pulled along
(risk of injuries).
• When cutting with the upper edge of the guide bar, the chain saw may be pushed in
the direction of the user if the chain gets clamped. For this reason use the lower edge
of the bar whenever possible. The chain saw will then be pushed away from you (14).
