General safety instructions
for chainsaws
a) Keep all parts of the body away
from the saw chain when the
chain saw is operating. Before
you start the chain saw, make
sure the saw chain is not con-
tacting anything. A moment of
inattention white operating chain saws
may cause entanglement of your cloth-
ing or body with the saw chain.
b) Always hold the chain saw with
42
your right hand on the rear han-
dle and your left hand on the
front handle. Holding the chain saw
with a reversed hand confi guration in-
creases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
c) Hold the chainsaw only by the
insulated gripping surfaces, as
the saw chain may come into
contact with concealed power
lines. Contact with a live wire by the
saw chain can also cause a charge in
metal parts of the device and result in
an electric shock.
d) Wear eye protection. Further
protective equipment for the
ears, head, hands, legs and feet
is recommended. Contact between
the saw chain and a live cable may
render metallic components live and
result in an electric shock.
e) Do not use the chainsaw to
work from trees, ladders, a roof
or other unstable surfaces. Oper-
ating the device in such a way poses a
serious risk of injury.
f) Always keep proper footing
and operate the chain saw only
when standing on fi xed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or un-
stable surfaces such as ladders may
cause a loss of balance or control of
the chain saw.
g) When cutting a branch that is
under tension be alert for spring
back. When the tension in the wood
fi bres is released the spring loaded
Iimb may strike the operator and/or
throw the chain saw out of control.
h) Use extreme caution when cut-
ting brush and saplings. The slen-
der material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull
you off balance.
