WORK AREA SAFETY
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate chainsaw in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Chainsaws create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
•
Keep all children, bystanders, visitors, and animals out of the work area while starting
or cutting with the chainsaw.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
Chainsaw plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) chainsaws.Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
•
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
•
Do not expose the chainsaw to rain or wet locations.
Water entering a chainsaw will
increase the risk of electric shock.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
chainsaw. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
•
When operating a chainsaw outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
chainsaw. Do not use a chainsaw while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating chainsaws may result in
serious personal injury.
•
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
•
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the chainsaw may result in personal injury.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the chainsaw in unexpected situation.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
•
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
