Safety information for
chainsaws
• When in operation, keep all
body parts away from the saw
chain. Before you start the saw,
ensure that the saw chain is not
touching anything. When using a
chainsaw, losing concentration for just
a moment can lead to clothing or body
parts being caught up in the saw chain.
• Always hold the chainsaw with
your right hand on the rear
handle and left hand on the
front handle. Holding the chainsaw
the other way around increases the risk
of injuries and is not permitted.
• Wear protective goggles and
hearing protection. Further pro-
tective equipment for the head,
hands, legs and feet is required.
Appropriate protective clothing redu-
ces the risk of injury from lying chip
material and accidental contact with
the saw chain.
• Do not use the chainsaw to
work on trees. Operating a chain-
saw on a tree poses the risk of injury.
• Ensure you are standing irmly
and only use the chainsaw if
the ground beneath you is solid,
36
secure and even. Slippery ground
or unstable surfaces such as on a lad-
der can lead to loss of balance or loss
of control over the chainsaw.
• If working on a branch under
tension, be aware that it will
spring back. Once the tension in
the wood ibres has been released, the
branch may hit the user and/or control
over the chainsaw may be lost.
• Be particularly careful when
cutting brushwood and young
trees. The thin material may become
caught in the saw chain and hit you or
cause you to lose balance.
• Carry the chainsaw by the front
handle when it is switched off
with the saw chain pointing
away from your body. Always
place the protective cover onto
the chainsaw when transport-
ing or storing it. Careful handling
of the chainsaw reduces the probabili-
ty of accidentally coming into contact
with the running saw chain.
• Observe the instructions for lu-
brication, chain tensioning and
replacing accessories. An impro-
perly tensioned or lubricated chain
may rip apart or increase the risk of
kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Greasy,
oily handles are slippery and lead to
loss of control.
• Only saw wood. Do not use the
chainsaw for unintended ap-
plications - example: do not use
the chainsaw to saw through
plastic, masonry or construction
materials not made from wood.
Use of the chainsaw for unintended
applications can lead to hazardous
situations.
