SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Know your chainsaw. Please read this user
x
manual carefully and familiarise yourself with
your chainsaw, in particular with regard to the
sawing of round wood. We strongly
recommend that first time users practice
sawing logs on a saw horse or cradle.
Avoid dangerous environments. Keep your
x
work area clean and remove clutter. Keep the
work area well lit. We strongly recommend the
use of a sawhorse or cradle whenever possible.
Do not saw wet wood or use your
chainsaw when it is raining.
Keep people away while your chainsaw is in use.
x
Do not allow children, other people or animals
near your chainsaw while you are using it.
Maintain your chainsaw when not in use.
x
Do not store your chainsaw for any length of
time without first removing the saw chain and
guide bar which should be kept immersed in
oil. Store all parts of your chainsaw in a dry,
secure place out of reach of children.
We recommend you drain the oil reservoir
prior to storage.

Do not force your chainsaw. It will do the job
x
better and more safely at the rate for which it
was intended.
Protective clothing. Wear close fitting and
protective clothing including a safety
helmet with visor/goggles, ear protectors,
safety shoes, protective bib trousers and
strong leather gloves.
Do not abuse the cable. Never carry a chainsaw
x
by the cable or jerk it to disconnect the plug
from the socket. Keep the cable away from
heat, oil or sharp edges. Check the cable
frequently for damage.
Secure your work using clamps or chocks.

Be sure that you use both hands when
operating your chainsaw.
Remove the plug from the mains before
changing the work location, adjusting,
sharpening or cleaning, changing any
accessory such as the chain, or if the cord
becomes entangled or damaged.
Adjusting wrenches. Form a habit of checking
x
to see that adjusting wrenches are removed
from your chainsaw before starting.
Only use extension cable type HO7RN-F 2 x
x
1mm 2 , as a minimum only.
Stay alert. Never operate your chainsaw when
x
you are tired.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of
x
your chainsaw, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine whether it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorised service agent. Do not use your
chainsaw if the switch does not turn it on and
off.
