Follow these instructions in order to reduce the dangers:
•
Keep your body and in particular your hands warm when working
in the cold.
•
Take regular breaks and move your hands to stimulate the blood
circulation during the breaks.
•
Ensure that the equipment makes the least possible vibration
through regular maintenance and solid parts on the equipment.
Causes of and ways to avoid recoil
Recoil can occur if the tip of the chain bar touches an item or if the
wood bends and jams the saw chain in the cut.
In many cases contact with the bar tip can result in an unexpected re-
action aimed backwards in which the chain bar is catapulted upwards
towards the operator.
Jamming the saw chain on the top of the chain bar can catapult the
bar towards the operator at high speed.
Any of these reactions can result in you losing control over the saw
and possibly suff ering serious injuries. You should therefore not rely
totally on the safety equipment fi tted to the chainsaw. When using a
chainsaw you should take various precautions to enable you to work
without suff ering accidents or injuries.
Recoil is the result of incorrect or wrong use of the electric tool. It can
be prevented by suitable precautions, as described below:
•
Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with fingers and
thumbs gripped around the handles. Steady yourself with
your body and arms in a position in which you can control
the kickback forces. Provided appropriate measures are taken,
an operator should be capable of controlling the kickback forces.
Never let go of the chain saw.
•
Avoid abnormal working postures. Never cut above shoul-
der height. This prevents accidental contact with the tip of the rail
and offers better control over the chainsaw in unexpected situa-
