•
Carry the chainsaw with the chain stationary and the guide
rail facing backwards. Always fit the protective cover when
transporting the chainsaw or putting it into storage. Careful
handling of the chainsaw reduces the likelihood of accidental con-
tact with the saw chain while it is running.
•
Follow the instructions for lubrication, chain tension and
replacement of accessories. A chain which is not properly ten-
sioned or lubricated can break or increase the risk of kickback.
•
Keep the handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Greasy or oily handles are slippery and will result in loss of con-
trol.
•
Only use the chainsaw to cut wood. The chain must only be
used to perform the work for which it is intended. For ex-
ample: Never use the chainsaw to cut plastic or brickwork,
or building materials which are not made of wood. Use of the
chainsaw for non-intended or non-approved work can create dan-
gerous situations.
•
Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with fingers and
thumbs hooked around the handles. Steady yourself with
your body and arms in a position in which you can control
GB
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. This prevents accidental
contact with the tip of the rail and offers better control over the
chainsaw in unexpected situations.
•
Always use the correct replacement rails and saw chains
recommended by the manufacturer. The use of incorrect repla-
cement rails or saw chains may result in breakage of the chain 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.
