surface whilst working. Do not walk backwards
carrying the machine to avoid stumbling. Do not
adopt unnatural postures.
Whilst working always keep the machine an
adequate distance from your body.
Always switch o the machine during breaks and
when changing location. Wait until the chainsaw
stops and switch o the engine.
Never leave the machine unattended at the
workplace. Store the machine in a safe place
during breaks.
Always switch o the machine when changing
location.
Personnel using the machine must not be
distracted. This may cause them to lose control of
the machine.
Never use the machine in rain, in wet or damp
environments and do not store it outdoors.
If the machine becomes wet, wait until it is fully
dry before using it again.
Protect the machine from rain and moisture.
Always hold the saw with two hands when the
engine is running.
Use the claw to position the saw for every cut and
always start every cut with the chain moving.
Complete the cut in such a way that the saw does
not become trapped in the wood.
Pay special attention to branches that are under
tension.
Only pull the machine out of the wood whilst the
chain is still moving.
Never saw using one hand over shoulder height.
Always stand perpendicular to the slope when
using the saw on a gradient.
Always stand to the side of falling trees.
Watch the falling direction of the sawn parts.
Never start a cut using the tip of the bar and
never saw using the tip of the bar – danger of
recoil!
There is always a risk of recoil if the tip of the bar
touches wood or other objects. This makes the
chainsaw impossible to control and may lead to
it being catapulted with great force towards the
operator.
Always saw through one branch at a time.
Watch neighbouring branches when lopping
branches o a tree.
Never use the machine as a lever for moving
objects.
Always use the chain guard for transporting the
chainsaw.
Before use
Check the machine and chain to ensure that they
are in perfect working order and safe to use.
Check the function of the chain lubrication
system and the oil level. Check the chain tension
and the function of the chain brake.
