Hand Guard; Working With The Chainsaw - Pattfield Ergo Tools PE-EKS 1835 Notice Originale

Danger! Never use the saw if the safety equipment is not working
properly. Never try to repair safety related protection systems yourself
– always have any work done by our service department or by a simi-

Hand guard

The front hand guard (which also acts as the chain brake at the same
time) (Fig. 1/Item 2) and the rear hand guard (Fig. 2/ Item 14) protect
against fi nger injuries resulting from contact with the saw chain if the
chain breaks because it is overloaded.

7. Working with the chainsaw

7.1 Preparations
To ensure that you can work safely, check the following points before
every use:
Condition of the chain saw
Inspect the chainsaw before the start of work for damage to the
GB
housing, the power cable, the saw chain and the cutter rail. Never use
a chainsaw which is obviously damaged.
Oil container
Fill level of the oil container. Even while working, keep checking that
suffi cient oil is in the system. To avoid damaging the chainsaw, never
run the saw if there is no oil in the system or if the oil drops below the
"min" mark (Fig. 10/Item B).
On average, a single fi lling will last around 15 minutes depending on
the number of pauses in cutting and the loads involved.
Saw chain
Tension of the saw chain, condition of the cutting elements. The shar-
per the chainsaw, the easier and more controllable it is to operate the
