thumbs gripped around the handles. Steady yourself with
your body and arms in a position in which you can control
the kickback forces. Provided appropriate measures are taken,
an operator should be capable of controlling the kickback forces.
Never let go of the chain saw.
•
Avoid abnormal working postures. Never cut above shoul-
der height. This prevents accidental contact with the tip of the rail
and offers better control over the chainsaw in unexpected situa-
tions.
•
Always use the correct replacement rails and saw chains
recommended by the manufacturer. The use of incorrect re-
placement rails or saw chains may result in breakage of the chain
and/or kickback.
•
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for sharpening and
maintaining the saw chain. The risk of kickback is increased if
the depth limiter is set too low.
More important information:
•
Before you start felling branches: Make sure that there is nobody
within a range of at least two and a half times the length of the
GB
branch.
•
Take the weather conditions into account when felling trees. Do
not fell trees in strong or gusting wind. Do not fell trees in frost
conditions or on frozen, icy ground. Do not fell trees in rain or if vi-
sibility is poor.
•
Comply with local regulations.
•
Plan an escape route from falling trees or branches in advance.
Make sure that this escape route is free of obstacles which could
restrict or prevent free movement. Keep in mind that freshly cut
grass or bark is slippery.
•
Ensure that somebody is in the vicinity (but at a safe distance) in
case of an accident.
•
When the chain is moving, do not let the tip of the chain bar come
into contact with any objects.
