Note
When replacing guide bar or saw chain, ask
your
shindaiwa dealer.
■
The saw is specially designed for tree
service, i.e. for off-ground working in trees,
and when being used as such should only be
used be trained operators.
One handed operation of the saw can be
dangerous.
Rules for Safe Operation
■
Be alert for the phenomena “skating” and
“bouncing”, greater risk from kickback. Be
cautious not to lose balance of your body
due to “drop” at the end of a cut.
■
If working off the ground the operator must
be trained in safe climbing techniques and
use of all recommended safety equipment
such as harness, loops, straps, ropes and
carabiners for himself and for the saw.
■
When hoisting a chain saw using a rope
tied to a lifting hook for operation on a tree,
ensure that the lifting hook is not strained
by excessive force.
Operators of tree service chain-saws working
at height from a rope and harness should never
work alone.
A ground worker trained in appropriate
emergency procedures should assist them. Operators of tree service chain-saws for this
work should be trained in general safe
climbing and work positioning techniques and
be properly equipped with harnesses, ropes,
straps, carabiners and other equipment for
maintaining secure and safe working positions
for both themselves and the saw.
The chain-saw should be checked, fueled,
started and warmed up by the ground worker
and then switched off before it is sent up to the
operator in the tree.
The chain-saw should be
¿ tted with a suitable
strap for attachment to the operator’s harness:
a) Secure the strap around the attachment
point on the rear of the saw;
b) Provide suitable carabiners to allow
indirect (i.e. via the strap) and direct
attachment (i.e. at the attachment point on
the saw) of the saw to the operator’s
harness;
c) Ensure the saw is securely attached when it
is being sent up to the operator;
d) Ensure the saw is secured to the harness
before it is disconnected from the means of
ascent.
The ability to directly attach the saw to the
harness reduces the risk of damage to
equipment when moving around the tree.
Always switch the saw off when it is directly
attached to the harness.
The saw should only be attached to the
recommended attachment points on the
harness.
These may be at mid-point (front or rear) or at
the sides.
Where possible, attach the saw to center rear
mid-point to keep it clear of climbing lines and
to support its weight centrally down the
operator’s spine.
When moving the saw from any one
attachment point to another, operators should
ensure it is secured in the new position before
releasing it from the previous attachment
point.
