•
Start sawing only after the chain has reached full speed.
•
Never try to target a previous cut. Always start a new cut.
•
Watch out for moving branches or other forces which could inter-
fere with a cut and impact with the chain.
•
Never try to cut a branch with a larger diameter than the cutting
length of the equipment.
•
Contact your local government offices for information regarding
minimum age requirements for operating the equipment.
•
Keep the equipment at a minimum distance from overhead power
cables.
•
Before you begin your work, make yourself well acquainted with
all the control elements. Practice handling the equipment and
have an expert explain its functions, mode of operation and sa-
wing techniques.
•
Never use the equipment if you are ill, tired or under the influence
of alcohol or medication. Always take timely breaks from your
work. Change your working position regularly.
Warning!
If the equipment is used for a lengthy period, the vibrations it causes
in the hands of the user may result in circulation problems (white fi n-
ger syndrome).
White fi nger syndrome is a vascular disease that involves seizure-
like spasms of the fi ngers and toes. The aff ected areas are no longer
suffi ciently supplied with blood and therefore appear extremely pale.
The frequent use of vibrating equipment may trigger nerve damage in
people with an impaired circulation (for example smokers, diabetics).
Should you observe any unusual impairments, interrupt your work im-
mediately and consult a doctor.
Follow these instructions in order to reduce the dangers:
•
Keep your body and in particular your hands warm when working
in the cold.
•
Take regular breaks and move your hands to stimulate the blood
