f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories,
tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Chain saw safety warnings
Keep all parts of the body away
–
from the saw chain when the chain
saw is operating. Before you start
the chain saw, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything. A
moment of inattention while
operating chain saws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or
body with the saw chain.
Always hold the chain saw with your
–
right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the chain saw with a
reversed hand configuration
increases the risk of personal injury
and should never be done.
HTE 60
Hold the power tool by insulated
–
gripping surfaces only, because the
saw chain may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Saw chains
contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Wear safety glasses and hearing
–
protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will
reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the
saw chain.
Do not operate a chain saw in a
–
tree. Operation of a chain saw while
up in a tree may result in personal
injury.
Always keep proper footing and
–
operate the chain saw only when
standing on a fixed, secure and
level surface. Slippery or unstable
surfaces such as ladders may
cause a loss of balance or control of
the chain saw.
When cutting a limb that is under
–
tension be alert for spring back.
When the tension in the wood fibres
is released the spring loaded limb
may strike the operator and/or throw
the chain saw out of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting
–
brush and saplings. The slender
material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull
you off balance.
Carry the chain saw by the front
–
handle with the chain saw switched
off and away from your body. When
transporting or storing the chain
saw always fit the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw
will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving
saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating,
–
chain tensioning and changing
accessories. Improperly tensioned
or lubricated chain may either break
or increase the chance for kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean and free
–
from oil and grease. Greasy, oily
handles are slippery causing loss of
control.
Cut wood only. Do not use chain
–
saw for purposes not intended.
Example: do not use chain saw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-
wood building materials. Use of the
chain saw for operations different
than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Causes and operator prevention of
kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or
tip of the guide bar touches an object, or
when the wood closes in and pinches
the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a
sudden reverse reaction, kicking the
guide bar up and back towards the
operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of
the guide bar may push the guide bar
rapidly back towards the operator.
