•
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.
•
Do not cut into the ground, metal fences or similar unsuitable
items and materials.
•
We recommend that people who are using a chainsaw for the first
time should arrange for a well-versed person to instruct them on
how to work with a chainsaw and the safety equipment, for ex-
ample in the form of practical exercises (cutting wood on a sawing
trestle, etc.).
•
Keep your working area free of obstacles and ensure that you
have adequate freedom of movement. Do not work in constricted
areas in which you could continuously get too close to the opera-
ting saw chain.
•
Keep your working area tidy and free of off-cuts and other obstac-
les over which you could stumble.
•
Ensure that you maintain a steady foothold. Only use the chain-
saw on flat surfaces where you have a firm footing. Never work on
ladders or on slippery surfaces on which you could lose your ba-
lance or otherwise lose control of the chainsaw.
•
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
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.
•
Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle. Holding the chainsaw with
your hands in the wrong positions increases the risk of injury and
must therefore be avoided.
•
Wear safety goggles and ear protection. Other safety equipment
for the head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Correct safety
