Felling A Tree - WARRIOR WEP8181CS Bedienungsanleitung

GENERAL SAfETy RULES
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users and MUST never be used by any under 16 year's
old.
e) Inspect and Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired at a local service centre before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs will result
in damage to tool and risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
any metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns, fires and
battery to discharge possible leaking fluid.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation, burns or blindness.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement OEM parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained for years to come.
Chain saw safety warnings
1. Keep all body parts away from the chainsaw when the
blade/chain is rotating. Before you start the chain saw,
make sure the saw chain is not in contact with anything.
A moment of distraction/inattention while operating
chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or
body parts casing serious injury or death.
2. Always hold the chain saw with your strongest hand
on the rear handle and your weakest hand on the front
handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only. 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. Always wear safety glasses and ear protection.
Further (PPE) protective equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing
will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.
5. Do not operate a chain saw up or inside a tree.
Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may result in
personal injury/death.
6. Always keep proper footing and operate the chain
saw only when standing on fixed, secure and solid level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders
may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
7. When cutting a trunks, logs that are under tension be
alert for spring back (kickback). When the tension in the
wood fibers is released the spring loaded tree may strike
the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control
casing damage to the tool or serious injury.
8. 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.
9. Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the
chain saw switched off and/(or) battery disconnected
and away from your body. When transporting or storing
the chain saw always apply the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving saw chain.

10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance
for kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of
control. Sharpen or replace chains regular.
12. 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 different than
intended will result in a hazardous situation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
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/
death. 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 by allowing the saw off area to fall
freely.
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 firm grip, with thumbs and fingers 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 specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains
may cause chain breakage and/or kickback or damage
to the tool.

fELLING A TREE

-Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth
gauge height can lead to increased kickback or
personally injury.
fELLING A TREE
When bucking and felling operations are being
performed by two or more persons at the same time, the
felling operations should be separated from the bucking
operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the
tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner
that would endanger any person, strike any utility line
or cause any property damage. If the tree does make
accidentally contact with any utility line, the company
should be notified immediately.
The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side
of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill
after it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and cleared as
necessary before cuts are started. The escape path
should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the
expected line of fall as illustrated.
Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of
the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind
direction to judge which way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire
from the tree.
