Westfalia X-SAW II Mode D'emploi Original page 20

▪ Check the safe operating condition of the multi saw, in particular the guide
bar and the saw chain, before each operation.
▪ Always have a safe stand when working with the saw.
▪ Hold the machine firmly and securely when switching on.
▪ Make sure the guide bar and the saw chain must be free when switched on
and must not come into contact with the workpiece to be cut.
▪ Keep your hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach under the
workpiece. Contact with the saw chain may result in injury.
▪ Guide the multi saw onto the workpiece only when switched on. Otherwise
there is a risk of kick-back if the saw chain gets caught in the workpiece.
▪ When sawing, the base plate must always faces against the workpiece. The
saw chain can become jammed and lead to loss of control over the machine.
▪ When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and then pull the saw
chain out of the cut only after it has come to a standstill. This way you can
avoid kick-back.
▪ Clamp the material to be processed well. Do not support the workpiece with
your hand or foot. Do not touch objects or the floor with the saw running.
Danger of kick-back.
▪ When sawing converted timber and thin branches always use a strong
support, such as a sawing trestle. Do not stack timber pieces.
▪ Before cutting logs, secure the logs in position.
▪ When working on sloping ground, make sure to work facing upwards.
▪ Be particularly careful when cutting splintered wood. Splinters of wood can
be torn along by the saw chain and increase the risk of injury!
▪ Foreign objects such as nails, screws, metal parts, sand, etc. lead to
increased wear on the guide bar and saw chain.
▪ A blunt saw chain can cause overheating and damage to the motor.
▪ Always pull out the battery when checking the chain tension, to re-tighten it,
to mount the saw chain and to eliminate faults! Also remove the battery if
you do not use the machine temporarily.
