HAZARDS
from unhealthy postures or excessive eorts related
to machine use.
HAZARDS
from unexpected start-up, unexpected overrun/over-
speed from failure/disorder of the control system re-
lated to failure in the handles and position of the con-
trols.
Hazards from failure of the control system related to
handle strength, position of controls and marking.
Hazards from break up (chain) during operation relat-
ed to saw chain.
Hazards from ejection of objects or uids related to
chip discharge and fuel spillage.
Hazards from dropping the chain-saw while working
in a tree.
RISK OF INJURY !
Contact with the saw-chain can lead to fatal cutting
injuries.
Never put your hands into the running saw-chain.
RISK OF KICKBACK!
Kickback can lead to fatal cutting injuries.
RISK OF BURNING!
The chain and the guide bar heat up during opera-
tion.
Behaviour during an emergency
Start First Aid measures relevant to the injury and re-
quest medical help as quickly as possible. Prevent
the injured person from further injury and keep him/
her rested. For potentially occurring accidents, the
First Aid kit, according to DIN 13164, should always
be handy at the work place. Material taken from the
First Aid kit must be replaced immediately. When you
are requesting help, give the following information:
1. Location of accident
2. Type of accident
3. Number of injured people
4. Type of injuries
Store all safety notices and instructions for the
future.
Pruning (Fig. K)
m CAUTION
Prune branches only at or below shoulder height.
Never cut branches above shoulder height. Leave
that kind of work to a professional.
• For the rst cut (Pos. 1), cut 1/3 of the way into the
lower part of the branch.
• Then cut all the way through the branch with the
second cut (Pos. 2). The third cut (Pos. 3) is a top
cut with which you separate the branch from the
trunk at a distance of 2.5 to 5cm.
5.8 Remaining risks
m DANGER
MECHANICAL HAZARDS
Rotating chain
Moving Training Elements
Parts expelled by moving chain
Break in the chain
Disturbance of the engine control system or control
elements that would cause the chain to start unex-
pectedly while the chain saw is running, an unex-
pected increase in engine speed.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
from contact with parts under high voltage (direct
contact) or parts which have become under high volt-
age under faulty conditions (indirect contact).
THERMAL HAZARDS
which can result in burns, scalds and other injuries,
created by possible contact of persons with objects
or materials with high temperature including the radi-
ation of heat sources.
NOISE HAZARDS
Motor, gearbox and cutting system including the res-
onance of rigid machine parts can cause hearing
damage (deafness) and other physiological disorders
(e.g. loss of balance, loss of consciousness), as well
as acoustic signal disorders and language communi-
cation disorders.
VIBRATION HAZARDS
which can result in peripheral circulatory and nerv-
ous functional disturbances in the hand-arm system,
such as white nger disease.
HAZARDS FROM CONTACT
with or inhalation of harmful uids, gases, mists,
fumes and dusts related to exhaust gases.
