Top handle chainsaw specific safety
warnings
1.
This chain saw is designed especially for tree
care and surgery. The chain saw is intended
to be used by properly trained persons only.
Observe all instructions, procedures and rec-
ommendations from the relevant professional
organization. Otherwise fatal accidents may
occur. It is recommend that always using a
rising platform (cherry picker, lift) for sawing
in trees. Rappelling techniques are extremely
dangerous and require special training. The
operators must be trained to become familiar
with safety equipment usage and climbing
techniques. Always use the appropriate belts,
ropes and carabiners when working in trees.
Always use restraining equipment for both the
operator and the saw.
2.
Perform cleaning and maintenance before
storage in accordance with the instruction
manual.
3.
Ensure safe positioning of the chain saw
during car transportation to avoid fuel or chain
oil leakage, damage to the tool and personal
injury.
4.
Regularly check the functionality of chain
brake. This action reduces a risk of injury when
kickback occurs.
5.
Do not fill the chain oil near fire. Never smoke
when you fill the chain oil.
National regulation may restrict the use of the
6.
chain saw.
7.
If the equipment gets heavy impact or fall,
check the condition before continuing work.
Check the controls and safety devices for mal-
function. If there is any damage or doubt, ask
our authorized service center for the inspec-
tion and repair.
8.

the chain saw.
Hold the saw firmly in place to avoid skating
9.
(skid movement) or bouncing of the saw when
starting a cut.
10. At the end of the cut, be careful to keep your
balance due to the "drop".
11.
Take into account the direction and speed of
the wind. Avoid sawdust and chain oil mist.
Protective equipment
1.
In order to avoid head, eye, hand or foot
injuries as well as to protect your hearing the
following protective equipment must be used
during operation of the chain saw:
—
The kind of clothing should be appropriate,
i. e. it should be tight-fitting but not be a
hindrance. Do not wear jewelry or clothing
which could become entangled with bushes
or shrubs. If you have long hair, always wear
a hairnet!
—
It is necessary to wear a protective helmet
whenever working with the chain saw. The
protective helmet is to be checked in regu-
lar intervals for damage and is to be replaced
after 5 years at the latest. Use only approved
protective helmets.
—
The face shield of the protective helmet (or
the goggles) protects against sawdust and
wood chips. During operation of the chain
saw always wear a goggle or a face shield to
prevent eye injuries.
—
Wear adequate noise protection equip-
ment (ear muffs, ear plugs, etc.)
—
The protective jacket consists of 22 layers
of nylon and protects the operator against
cuts. It is always to be worn when working
from elevated platforms (cherry pickers,
lifts), from platforms mounted on ladders or
when climbing with ropes.
The protective brace and bib overall is
—
made of a nylon fabric with 22 layers and
protects against cuts. We strongly recom-
mend its use.
Protective gloves made of thick leather are
—
part of the prescribed equipment and must
always be worn during operation of the chain
saw.
During operation of the chain saw safety
—
shoes or safety boots fitted with anti skid
sole, steel toe caps and protection for the
leg must always to be worn. Safety shoes
equipped with a protective layer provide
protection against cuts and ensure a secure
footing. For working in trees the safety boots
must be suitable for climbing techniques.
Vibration

Individuals with poor circulation who are exposed
to excessive vibration may experience injury to
blood vessels or the nervous system. Vibration
may cause the following symptoms to occur in the
fingers, hands or wrists: "Falling asleep" (numb-
ness), tingling, pain, stabbing sensation, alteration
of skin colour or of the skin. If any of these symp-
toms occur, see a physician! To reduce the risk
of "white finger disease", keep your hands warm
during operation and well maintain the equipment
and accessories.
