General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
Cordless Chain saw safety
warnings:
1.
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.
2. When holding with both hands, 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 con-
guration increases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
3.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate pro-
tective clothing will reduce personal injury by ying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
5. Always keep proper footing. Slippery or unsta-
ble surfaces may cause a loss of balance or con-
trol of the chain saw.
6. When cutting a limb that is under tension be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood bers is released the spring loaded limb may
strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out
of control.
7. 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
balance.
8. 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 t the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood
of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
9. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-
sioning and changing accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
10. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
11. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for pur-
poses not intended. For example: do not use
chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-
wood building materials. Use of the chain saw
for operations different than intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
12. Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar 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 bar up and
back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards
the operator.
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 injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below:
— Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and
ngers encircling the chain saw handles,
with both hands on the saw and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper precau-
tions are taken. Do not let go of the chain
saw.
► Fig.1
— Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent unin-
tended tip contact and enables better control
of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
— Only use replacement bars and chains
specied by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
9ENGLISH
— Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the saw
chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height
can lead to increased kickback.
13. Before starting work, check that the chain saw
is in proper working order and that its condition
complies with the safety regulations. Check in
particular that:
• The run-down brake is working properly;
• The bar and the sprocket cover are tted
correctly;
• The chain has been sharpened and ten-
sioned in accordance with the regulations;
14. Do not start the chain saw with the chain cover
being installed on it. Starting the chain saw with
the chain cover being installed on it may cause
the chain cover to thrown out forward resulting in
personal injury and damage to objects around the
operator.
Top handle chainsaw specic safety
warnings
1. This chain saw is designed especially for tree
care and surgery. The chain saw is intended to be
used by properly trained persons only. Observe
all instructions, procedures and recommenda-
tions from the relevant professional organiza-
tion. Otherwise fatal accidents may occur. It is
recommend that always using a rising platform
(cherry picker, lift) for sawing in trees. Rappelling
techniques are extremely dangerous and require
special training. The operators must be trained to
become familiar with safety equipment usage and
climbing techniques. Always use the appropriate
belts, ropes and carabiners when working in trees.
Always use restraining equipment for both the
operator and the saw.
2. Perform cleaning and maintenance before storage
in accordance with the instruction manual.
3. Ensure safe positioning of the chain saw during
car transportation to avoid fuel or chain oil leak-
age, damage to the tool and personal injury.
4. Do not ll the chain oil near re. Never smoke
when you ll the chain oil.
5. National regulation may restrict the use of the
chain saw.
6. If the equipment gets heavy impact or fall, check
the condition before continuing work. Check the
controls and safety devices for malfunction. If
there is any damage or doubt, ask our authorized
service center for the inspection and repair.
7. Hold the saw rmly in place to avoid skating (skid
movement) or bouncing of the saw when starting a
cut.
8. At the end of the cut, be careful to keep your
balance due to the “drop”.
9. Take into account the direction and speed of the
wind. Avoid sawdust and chain oil mist.
Protective equipment
1. In order to avoid head, eye, hand or foot
injuries as well as to protect your hearing the
following protective equipment must be used
during operation of the chain saw:
— The kind of clothing should be appropriate,
i. e. it should be tight-tting but not be a
hindrance. Do not wear jewelry or clothing
which could become entangled with bushes
or shrubs. If you have long hair, always wear
a hairnet!
— It is necessary to wear a protective helmet
whenever working with the chain saw. The
protective helmet is to be checked in regu-
lar 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 sawdust 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 equip-
ment (ear muffs, ear plugs, etc.).
— The protective jacket consists of 22 layers
of nylon and protects the operator against
cuts. It is always to be worn when working
from elevated platforms (cherry pickers,
lifts), from platforms mounted on ladders or
when climbing with ropes.
— The protective brace and bib overall is
made of a nylon fabric with 22 layers and
protects against cuts. We strongly recom-
mend 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 tted with anti skid
sole, steel toe caps and protection for the
leg must always to be worn. Safety shoes
equipped with a protective layer provide
protection against cuts and ensure a secure
footing. For working in trees the safety boots
must be suitable for climbing techniques.
Vibration
1. Individuals with poor circulation who are exposed
to excessive vibration may experience injury to
blood vessels or the nervous system.Vibration
may cause the following symptoms to occur in the
ngers, hands or wrists: “Falling asleep” (numb-
ness), 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 nger disease”, keep your hands warm
during operation and well maintain the equipment
and accessories.
