CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when
the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain
saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.
A moment of inattention while operating chain saws
may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with
the saw chain.
2. Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the
chain saw with a reversed hand confi guration increases
the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring. Saw
chains contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
4. Wear safety glasses, hearing protection and safety
protective equipment such as jacket, trousers, gloves,
helmet, boots with steel toe-caps and non-slip soles
whenever you use a chain saw. For working in trees the
safety boots must be suitable for climbing techniques.
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, short pants,
sandals or go barefoot.
Secure hair so it is above shoulder length. Adequate
protective clothing will reduce personal injury by fl ying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
only with specifi cally
5. Always stand steady on your feet and operate the chain
saw only on a stationary safe and level surface.
6. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for
spring back. When the tension in the wood fi bres is
released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator
and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
7. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings.
The slender material may catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
8. Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw
switched off and away from your body. When transporting
or storing the chain saw always fi t the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood
of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
9. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the
chance for kickback.
10. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
11. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not
intended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting
plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use
of the chain saw for operations diff erent than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback: (Fig. 1)
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide
bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse
reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the
operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may
push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control
of the saw which could result in serious personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into
your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below:
○ Maintain a fi rm grip, with thumbs and fi ngers encircling
the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw
and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by
the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let
go of the chain saw.
○ Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.
This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables
better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
○ Only use replacement bars and chains specifi ed by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains
may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
○ Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth
gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
ADDITIONAL SAFEY WARNINGS
1. Work without pressure. In addition, always keep your
body warm.
2. Before commencing work, refl ect fully on the work
procedures involved and work to avoid accidents,
otherwise injury may occur.
3. Do not use in the event of bad weather, such as strong wind,
rain, snow, fog, or in areas prone to rockfall or avalanches.
In bad weather, judgment may be impaired and the
vibration may result in disaster.
