Garland MONTANA 110 Manuel D'instructions page 40

English
• Do not make cuts with the saw until you are not
familiar with the technique of cutting.
• Do not make cuts in branches or pieces of wood
that can shift during cutting or that can close the
cut while this is being done.
• Keep the chain in good condition.
• Work only if the chain is well sharpened and
properly tensioned.
• Never in the cutting plane of the chainsaw.
2.6.4. FALL AT THE END OF THE CUT
The operator may fall once the cutting has finished.
While cutting the trunk, the operator is in a stable
position without supporting all the weight of the
chainsaw or exerting a little pressure on it to facilitate
cutting; at the moment he finishes cutting the trunk,
this stable position can be lost by having to bear
100% of the weight of the chainsaw and stop the
extra pressure (if applicable), thus falling forward
which can cause a loss of control of the chainsaw and
likely lead to serious bodily harm.
To prevent falling once you have finished cutting, put
pressure on the chainsaw before you finish cutting.
The operator must begin to take more weight from
the chainsaw so that, by the time the cut is finished,
virtually all of the chainsaw's weight is supported by
the operator.
2.6.5. STRESS-RELATED INJURIES
Injury may occur by stress on the muscles and
tendons of the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders
that can cause pain, swelling, loss of sensitivity and
weakness in the areas mentioned.
In order to reduce the risk of injury by stress, it is
recommended that you:
• Avoid excessive bending of the wrists while
working. Try to keep your wrists straight and, when
you want to grab something, do it with the whole
hand and not only with the thumb and index finger.
• Take breaks to rest your hands.
• Reduce speed and strength when performing
repetitive motions.
• Begin with warm-up exercises and stretching of
the hands and arms before starting work, and
stretch at the end of the task.
• Visit your health care provider if you notice that you
have lost some sensitivity in the fingers, hands,
wrists or arms.
2.7. SERVICE
Please have your machine periodically checked by
a qualified repair service which uses only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
this machine is maintained and consistent.
2.8. RESIDUAL RISK FACTORS
Even when the tool is used as prescribed; it is not
possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The
following hazards may arise in connection with the
tool's construction and design:
• Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is
not worn.
• Health defects resulting from vibration emission if
the power tool is being used over longer period
of time or not adequately managed and properly
maintained.
