Operator safety
En
WARNING!
This chain saw is designed especially for
tree care and surgery. Only persons trained
in tree care and surgery may use this saw.
Observe all literature, procedures and
recommendations from the relevant
professional organization. Failure to do so
constitutes a high accident risk. We
recommend always using a rising platform
for sawing in trees. Rappelling techniques
are extremely dangerous and require special
training. The operator must be trained in and
familiar with the use of safety equip-ment
and working and climbing techniques.
Always use the restraining equipment for
both the operator and the saw.
Always wear a safety face shield or goggles.
Gloves should be used when sharpening
chain.
Always wear safety protective equipment such
as jacket, trousers, gloves, boots with steel
toe-caps and non-slip soles whenever you use
a chain saw. For working in trees the safety
boots must be suitable for climb-ing
techniques. Do not wear loose clothing,
jewelry, short pants, sandals or go barefoot.
Secure hair so it is above shoulder length.
Do not operate this tool when you are tired, ill
or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
medication.

room or building. Breathing exhaust fumes
can kill.

equipment.
When the unit is turned off, make sure the
cutting attachment has stopped before the unit
is set down.
When operation is prolonged, take a break
from time to time so that you may avoid
possible whitefinger disease which is caused
by vibration.

of cutting area.
Unit / machine safety

All chainsaw service, other than the items
listed in the operator's/owner's manual, should
be performed by competent chain-saw service
personnel. (For example, if improper tools are
used to remove the flywheel or if an improper
tool is used to hold the flywheel in order
toremove the clutch, structural damage to the
flywheel could occur and could subsequently
cause the flywheel to burst.)
