General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
GB2
SEMAK

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired 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,
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) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained
WARNING! This machine produces an electromagnetic eld during operation. This eld may
under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medicalimplants. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their
physician and the medical implant manufacturer before operating this machine.
Chain saw safety warnings:
● 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 contacting anything.
A moment of inattention while operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your
clothing or body with the saw chain.
● Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand conguration increases the
risk of personal injury and should never be done.
● Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal
injury by ying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
● Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may
result in personal injury.
● Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on xed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss
of balance or control of the chain saw.
● When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood bres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the
GB3
SEMAK

chain saw out of control.
● 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.
● Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from
your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw always t the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the
moving saw chain.
● Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
● Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
● 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 could 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. 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.
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 rm grip, with thumbs and ngers 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 specied by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
● Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
Recommended:
● Use a residual current device with a tripping current of 30mA or less
● During the cutting operation, the supply cord must be securely positioned to prevent the
cord from snagged on branches and the like.
● The rst-time user should, as a minimum practice, cutting logs on a saw-horse or cradle
GB4
SEMAK

Kickback
Kickback is a phenomenon whereby the tip of the saw ies quickly and uncontrollably
upwards towards the operator. It happens with little or no warning and can be caused by
cutting with the blade tip, if the saw gets pinched in it’s cut, or if the saw contacts debris.
The risk of kickback can never be completely eliminated but it can be reduced by:
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
● The chain is automatically lubricated.
● Use only new chain oil specically formulated for chainsaws.
Never use wasted oil, low quality oil, or insufcient oil. This could damage the pump;
the bar and the chain may result in serious personal injury
● Check oil level before each work session, rell if less than ¼ full.
● If the lubrication system does not work properly, check if the oil lter and all oil-ways are
clean and free from obstructions. If it is still not working, contact an authorised service
centre.
● Ensuring the work area is free of debris.
● Not allowing the chain to get pinched.
● Not cutting with the danger area at the tip of the saw .see illustration below.

Warning: An escape path (A) should be planned and cleared as necessary. The path
should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall ,as illustrated
in g.3.
Caution: If felling a tree on a sloping ground, the chainsaw operator should keep on the
uphill side of the terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it's felled.
Warning: Do not cut down a tree during high winds or if there is a danger to property.
Consult a tree professional. Do not cut a tree if there is a danger of striking power or
telephone cable.
Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting operations, notching (C) and making the felling
cut (D).
Start making the upper notch cut (C) on the tree facing the felling direction (E). Be sure you
don't make the lower cut too deep into the trunk.
The notch (C) should be deep enough to create a hinge (F) of sufcient width and strength.
The notch should be wide enough to direct the fall of the tree for as long as possible.
Note: Direct of fall (B) is controlled by the notching cut. Before any cuts are made, consider
the location of larger branches and natural lean of the tree to determine direction of the tree
that will fall.
GENERAL CUTTING SUGGESTION
● FELLING
Felling is a term for cutting down a tree.
Small trees up to 6-7inches in diameter are usually cut in a single cut. Large trees require
notch cuts. Notch cutes determine the direction the tree will fall.
Fig. 3
● Wearing thick protective gloves, drape the chain (6) over the guide bar (5) ensuring the
direction of travel is as marked on the chain cover and it is fully engaged in the guide bar
sprocket.
● Offer the bar/chain assembly up to the locking pin and tensioning screw ensuring it is fully
engaged on the drive sprocket (13)
● Ret the cover and nut, but do not fully tighten the nut.
● Using the hex wrench, tighten the tensioning screw until the chain has approximately
2mm of slack.
● Fully tighten clamp nut.
SWITCH ON AND OFF
● Connect the tool to a mains power supply.
● Depress the safety lock off button (2) whist squeezing the main switch (8).
● Release the main switch to stop the tool.
Warning: Never walk in front of a tree that has been notched.
GB7
SEMAK

Warning: Before making the nal cut, always recheck the area for bystanders, animals,
and/or obstacles
Warning: As the felling cut (D) gets close to the hinge (F), the tree should begin to fall.
Remove saw from cut, stop the engine, put the chainsaw down and leave the area by the
retreat path (Fig. 3).
Warning: Never cut tree limbs while standing on tree trunk.
Make the felling cut (D) from the other side of the tree and 1.5 - 2.0 inches above the edge
of notch (C) (Fig.4)
Never saw completely through the trunk. Always leave a hinge (F). The hinge guides the
tree. If the trunk is completely cut through, control over the felling direction is lost. Insert
a wedge or felling lever in the cut (D) well before the tree becomes unstable and starts to
move. This will prevent the guide bar from binding in felling cut if you have misjudged the
falling direction. Make sure no bystanders have entered the range of the falling tree before
you push it over.
LIMBING
Limbing a tree is the process of removing the branches from a fallen tree(Fig.7). Do not
remove supporting limbs( A). Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to
avoid binding the chainsaw.
Fig.4
Fig.5
Fig.7
Fig.6
1. Use wooden or plastic wedges (A) to prevent binding the bar or chain (B) in the cut (Fig. 5).
2. When diameter of wood being cut is greater than the bar length, make 2 cuts as shown
(Fig. 6).
GB8
SEMAK

BUCKING
Bucking is cutting a fallen log into lengths. Make sure that you have a good footing and
stand uphill of the log when cutting on sloping ground. If possible, the log should be
supported so that the end to be cut off is not resting on the ground. If the log is supported at
both ends and you must cut in the middle, make downward cut halfway through the log and
then make the undercut. This will prevent the log from pinching the bar and chain. Be careful
that the chain does not cut into the ground when bucking as this causes rapid dulling of the
chain.
Note: The best way to hold a log while bucking is to use a saw horse. When this is not
possible, the log should be raised and supported by limb stumps or by using supporting
logs. Be sure the log being cut is securely supported.
Fig.8
Fig.10
Fig.9
1. Log supported along entire length: cut from bottom(underbuck),being careful to avoid
cutting into the ground (Fig.8)
2. Log supported on 1 end proceed as if using a saw-horse: First, cut from bottom
(underbuck) 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second, cut from above (overbuck)
to meet rst cut avoid pinching
3. Log supported on both ends: First, overbuck 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering.
Second, underbuck to meet rst cut and avoid pinching ( Fig. 9).
BUCKING USING A SAWHORSE (Fig.10)
1. Hold the saw rmly with both hands and keep the saw to the right of your body while
cutting.
2. Keep the left arm as straight as possible.
3. Keep weight on both feet.
