Safety And Producer's Liability - Briggs & Stratton NAX 400C Bedienungsanleitung


Use extreme caution if the chain is jammed. Then the so-called recoil directed towards the operator.

To avoid dangerous situations, try to cut with the bottom of the guide where possible. In this case, any recoil would be
directed away from the operator's body.

Be careful when cutting splitting wood, because cut pieces of wood can be thrown away in any direction with the risk of
injury.

Pay particular attention to branches that are under tension, never cut branches hanging down from below.

An uncontrolled fall of a felled branch or the whole tree may cause injury, while standing always stand on the side of the
line of the predicted fall direction of the tree to be felled.

Remember that the direction of the cuts should in principle be opposite to the main direction of felling the tree. Before
cutting, determine the direction of the fall of the tree, for greater safety, tying a rope to be able to direct the falling trunk in
the right direction.

A working chain saw tends to rotate when the top of the chain guide touches the workpiece. In this case, the chainsaw may
move uncontrollably towards the operator with the risk of injury.

Be particularly careful at the end of cutting wood, because the saw without resistance in the form of cut material falls by the
force of inertia, which can cause injury.

Do not use the chain saw above shoulder height or standing on a tree, ladder, scaffolding, stump, etc.
CAUTION!
Despite the use of a safe structure by design, the use of protective measures and additional protective
measures, there is always a residual risk of injury during work.
