up the chainsaw make sure that it is not touching anything.
When you are working with a chainsaw, a single moment of ca-
relessness is all it takes for clothing or parts of your body to get
caught by the chainsaw.
•
Always hold the chainsaw securely with your right hand on
the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Hol-
ding the chainsaw with your hands in other positions increases
the risk of injury and is therefore not allowed.
•
Wear safety goggles and ear protection. Other safety equip-
ment for the head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Correct protective clothing reduces the risk of injury caused by
catapulted chips or in the event of accidental contact with the
chainsaw.
•
Never use the chainsaw up a tree. You risk injuring yourself if
you use the chainsaw up a tree.
•
Always maintain a steady standing position and only use
the chainsaw when you are standing on a solid, safe and flat
surface. Slippery or unsafe surfaces in combination with a ladder
can cause you to lose your balance and control over the chain-
saw.

•
When cutting through a branch which is under tension, take
into account how it will spring back once the cut has been
made. Once the tension in the wood fibers is released, the ten-
sioned branch could hit the operator and/or seize control of the
chainsaw.
•
Take special care when cutting undergrowth and young
trees. The thin material can become caught in the saw chain and
whip back towards you or make you lose your balance.
•
Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the chainsaw
switched off and the chain facing away from the body. Al-
ways fit the protective cover when transporting the chain-
saw or putting it into storage. Careful handling of the chainsaw
reduces the likelihood of accidental contact with the saw chain
while it is running.
