Safety instructions for operation
WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
•
This top handle chainsaw is designed specifically for
tree surgery and maintenance in the tree. Due to
the special compact handle design (closely spaced
handles), there is an increased risk of losing control.
For this reason these special chainsaws should be
used only for work in a tree by persons who are
trained in special cutting and working techniques and
who are properly secured (lift bucket, ropes, safety
harness). Regular chainsaws (with wider spaced
handles) are recommended for all other cutting work
at ground level.
•
Working in a tree requires the use of special
cutting and working techniques which must be
observed in order to reduce the increased risk
of personal injury. Never work in a tree unless
you have received specific, professional training for
such work, including training in the use of safety
and other climbing equipment, such as harnesses,
ropes, belts, climbing irons, snap hooks, carabiners,
etcetera.
•
Never attempt to catch falling sections. Never cut in
the tree when you are only secured with one rope.
Always use two secured ropes.
•
During critical felling operations, hearing protectors
should be lifted immediately when the sawing is
completed so that sounds and warning signals can
be heard.
