10. At the end of the cut, be careful to keep your
balance due to the "drop".
11. Take into account the direction and speed of the
wind. Avoid sawdust and chain oil mist.
Protective equipment
1. In order to avoid head, eye, hand or foot injuries
as well as to protect your hearing the following
protective equipment must be used during
operation of the chain saw:
– The kind of clothing should be appropriate, i. e. it
should be tight-fitting but not be a hindrance. Do
not wear jewelry or clothing which could become
entangled with bushes or shrubs. If you have
long hair, always wear a hairnet!
– It is necessary to wear a protective helmet when-
ever working with the chain saw. The protective
helmet is to be checked in regular intervals for
damage and is to be replaced after 5 years at
the latest. Use only approved protective helmets.
– The face shield of the protective helmet (or the
goggles) protects against sawdust and wood
chips. During operation of the chain saw always
wear a goggle or a face shield to prevent eye
injuries.
– Wear adequate noise protection equipment
(ear muffs, ear plugs, etc.)
– The protective jacket consists of 22 layers of
nylon and protects the operator against cuts. It is
always to be worn when working from elevated
platforms (cherry pickers, lifts), from platforms
mounted on ladders or when climbing with
ropes.
– The protective brace and bib overall is made
of a nylon fabric with 22 layers and protects
against cuts. We strongly recommend its use.
– Protective gloves made of thick leather are part
of the prescribed equipment and must always be
worn during operation of the chain saw.
– During operation of the chain saw safety shoes
or safety boots fitted with anti skid sole, steel
toe caps and protection for the leg must always
to be worn. Safety shoes equipped with a protec-
tive layer provide protection against cuts and
ensure a secure footing. For working in trees the
safety boots must be suitable for climbing tech-
niques.
Vibration
1. Individuals with poor circulation who are exposed to
excessive vibration may experience injury to blood
vessels or the nervous system. Vibration may cause
the following symptoms to occur in the fingers,
hands or wrists: "Falling asleep" (numbness),
tingling, pain, stabbing sensation, alteration of skin
colour or of the skin. If any of these symptoms
occur, see a physician! To reduce the risk of "white
finger disease", keep your hands warm during
operation and well maintain the equipment and
accessories.
