Personal protective equipment
Wear a helmet at all times when operating the machine.
A helmet, equipped with mesh visor, can help reduce the
risk of injury to the face and the head if kickback occurs.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
Good quality personal protective equipment, as used
by professionals, will help reduce the risk of injury to
the operator. The following items should be used when
operating the machine:
Safety helmet
should comply with EN 397 and be CE marked
Hearing protection

safety glasses) or EN 1731 (for mesh visors)
Gloves

Leg protection (chaps)
should comply with EN 381-5, be CE marked and
provide allround protection
Chain saw safety boots
should comply with EN ISO 20345:2004 and be
marked with a shield depicting a chain saw to show
compliance with EN 381-3. (Occasional users may use
steel toe-cap safety boots with protective gaiters which
conform to EN 381-9 if the ground is even and there is
little risk of tripping or catching on undergrowth)

WARNING
Consequences of improper maintenance, removal
or modification of safety features like the chain
brake, ignition switch, hand guard (front and back),
spiked bumper, chain catcher, guide bar, low kick-
back saw chain may cause the safety features to not
function correctly, thus increasing the potential for
serious injury.
Low kick-back saw chain
A low-kick-back saw chain helps to reduce the possibility
of a kickback event.The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of
each cutter can minimize the force of a kick-back reaction
by preventing the cutters from digging in too deeply.
Only use replacement guide bar and chain combinations
recommended by the manufacturer.As saw chains are
sharpened, they lose some of the low kickback qualities
and extra caution is required. For your safety, replace saw
chains when cutting performance decreases.
