ENGLISH
— It is necessary to wear a protective
helmet whenever working with the
chain saw. The
protective helmet
is
to be checked in regular intervals for
damage and is to be replaced after 5
years at the latest. Use only approved
protective helmets.
— The
face shield
of the protective helmet
(or the goggles) protects against saw-
dust and wood chips. During operation
of the chain saw always wear a goggle
or a face shield to prevent eye injuries.
— Wear adequate
noise protection
equipment
(ear muffs, ear plugs, etc.)
— The
protective jacket
consists of 22
layers of nylon and protects the opera-
tor against cuts. It is always to be worn
when working from elevated platforms
(cherry pickers, lifts) or from platforms
mounted on ladders.
— The
protective brace and bib overall
is made of a nylon fabric with 22 layers
and protects against cuts. We strongly
recommend its use.
—
Protective gloves
made of thick
leather are part of the prescribed
equipment and must always be worn
during operation of the chain saw.
— During operation of the chain saw
safety shoes
or
safety boots
fitted
with anti skid sole, steel toe caps and
protection for the leg must always to be
worn. Safety shoes equipped with a pro-
tective layer provide protection against
cuts and ensure a secure footing.
Vibration

exposed to excessive vibration may experi-
ence injury to blood vessels or the nervous
system. Vibration may cause the following
symptoms to occur in the fingers, hands or
wrists: “Falling asleep” (numbness), tingling,
pain, stabbing sensation, alteration of skin
colour or of the skin.
If any of these symp-
toms occur, see a physician!
To reduce
the risk of “white finger disease”, keep your
hands warm during operation and well
maintain the equipment and accessories.
