CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
•
A moment of inattention while operating chain saws may
cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.

11
•
Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand
•
Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
•
Adequate protective clothing
• Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree
may result in personal injury.
•
Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders
may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
•When
•The slender material
may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
•
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
•
accessories. Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
•Greasy, oily handles are
slippery causing loss of control.
•
Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
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. 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.

12
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:
•
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.
•This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected
situations.
•
•
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR CHAIN SAW OPERATION
• Always remove the battery pack before assembling, adjusting or cleaning, and
before leaving the machine unattended for any period.
• Checking the completeness, assembly and setting of the chain saw (see details
below) before start to work. Repeat the checking regularly during your work.
• It is recommended that the unexperienced user should have practical instruction
in the use of the chainsaw and the protective equipment from an experienced
operator. The initial practice should be cutting logs on a saw horse or cradle.
• Children and juveniles, with the exception of apprentices older than 16 years and
under supervision, may not operate the chain saw. The same applies for persons
•
must not operate the chain saw.
• Wait until the chain has come to a standstill completely before placing it down.
• Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and clear. Clean them if
necessary with a soft brush. Blocked air vents may lead to overheating and
damage the product.
• Switch the product off immediately if you are disturbed while working by other
people entering the working area.
• Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure you can concentrate on
the work and have full control over the product.
• Never work with the tip of the chain.

1. 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 contact with any utility
2. The product operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain as the tree is
likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire from the tree.
Make the notch (B) 1/3 the diameter of the tree, perpendicular to the direction of falls.
saw chain or the guide bar when the second notch is being made.
Make the felling back cut (A) at least 50 mm higher than the horizontal notching cut.
Keep the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back
cut so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge (C) wood keeps the tree from
twisting and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge.
As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree should begin to fall. If there is any chance
that the tree may not fall in desired direction or it may rock back and bind the saw chain,
stop cutting before the felling back cut is complete and use wedges of wood, plastic or
aluminum to open the cut and drop the tree along the desired line of fall.
When the tree begins to fall remove the product from the cut, switch off and put the
product down then use the retreat path planned. Be alert for overhead limbs falling and
watch your footing.
