Kickback; Working Behavior/Method Of Working - Dolmar RescueCut Instructions D'emploi

- When starting the chain saw it must be well supported and
securely held. The guide bar and chain must not be in contact
with any object.
Be careful when using the depth limiter, as the saw will get
slightly top-heavy.
- When working with the chain saw always hold it with
both hands. Take the back handle with the right hand and
the tubular handle with the left hand. Hold the handles tightly
with your thumbs facing your Þ ngers.
- CAUTION: When releasing the throttle lever the chain
will keep on running for a short period of time (free-
wheeling).
- Continuously ensure that you have a safe footing.
- Hold the chain saw such that you will not breathe in the
exhaust gas. Do not work in closed rooms (danger of poi-
soning).
- Switch off the chain saw immediately if you observe
any changes in its operating behavior.
- Turn off the engine (9) before checking the chain ten-
sion, tightening the chain, adjusting the depth limiter,
replacing the chain, or dealing with any malfunctions
or problems.
- When stopping work or leaving the working place switch
off the chain saw (9) and put it down such that nobody is
endangered.
When using the depth limiter, be especially careful when
setting down the saw.
- Don't set down a hot saw in dry grass or on combustible
materials. The mufß er is radiates intense heat (Þ re hazard)
and the cutters on the saw chain also get hot.
- CAUTION: Oil dropping from the chain or guide bar after
having stopped the saw chain will pollute the soil. Always
use an appropriate base.

Kickback

- When working with the chain saw dangerous kickbacks may
occur. The depth limiter increases the danger of objects
getting caught by the top edge of the saw bar.
- Kickback occurs when the upper part of the end of the guide
bar inadvertently touches wood or other hard objects (10).
- This causes the saw to be thrown back toward the user with
great force and out of control. Risk of injury!
In order to prevent kickback, follow these rules:
- Penetrating cuts (straight into wood or other materials with
the point of the saw) are dangerous and should be performed
only by specially trained personnel!
- Always observe the end of the guide bar. Be careful when
continuing an already started cut.
- When the depth limiter is attached, do not cut with the top
edge of the bar!
- When starting to cut the chain must be running.
- Ensure that the chain is always sharpened correctly. Pay
special attention to the height of the depth limiter.

Working behavior/Method of working

- Only use the chain saw during good light and visibility periods.
Be aware of slippery or wet areas, and of ice and snow (risk
of slipping).
- Make sure you are standing securely and are not trapped
in case of danger.
- Never work on unstable surfaces. Make sure that there are
no obstacles in the working area, risk of stumbling. Always
ensure that you have a safe footing.
- Never saw above your shoulder height (11).
- Never saw while standing on a ladder (11).
- Never climb up into trees to perform sawing with the chain
saw.
- Do not work leaning too far over.
- Guide the chain saw in such a way that no part of your body
is within the elongated swivelling range of the saw (12).
