Working with the chain saw

WARNING!
Danger of serious injury.
If an incompletely mounted chain saw is
used, serious injury can be caused.
■
Only use the chain saw when it has
been fully mounted.
■
Before each use, perform a visual
inspection in order to check that the
chain saw is complete and does not
contain damaged or worn compo-
nents. Safety and protective devices
must be intact.
■
Never work alone.
■
Always keep a first-aid kit to hand in case of
accidents.
■
Avoid touching metal objects in the ground or
which are conductively connected to the
ground.
■
The personal protective equipment compris-
es:
■
Protective helmet
■
Hearing protection (e.g. ear defenders,
especially when working for than 2.5
hours a day)
■
Protective glasses or face visor incorpo-
rated in the protective helmet
■
Protective trousers with cut protection in-
lay
■
Sturdy working gloves
■
Safety boots with high-grip soles, steel
toe caps, and cut protection inlays
■
Do not use the chain saw above shoulder
height, since safe handling is no longer pos-
sible in this way.
■
When changing position, switch off the en-
gine and put on the chain guard.
■
Switch off the petrol engine when not in use
and put the chain guard in place.

Switch the chain saw off before putting it
down.
■
Do not use the chain saw for levering or mov-

■
Only start the cut once the saw chain is run-
ning, never switch on the chain saw already
in the kerf.
■
Make sure that no saw chain oil gets onto the
ground.
■
Do not undertake sawing work in the rain,
snow or stormy weather.
■
Never disable safety and protective devices.

Vibration load

WARNING!
Danger due to vibration
The actual magnitude of the vibration
emissions during the use of the appli-
ance may deviate from that stated by the
manufacturer. Observe the following in-
fluencing factors before or during use:
■
Is the appliance being used as in-
tended?
■
Is the material being cut or pro-
cessed in the proper manner?
■
Is the appliance in a proper condi-
tion of use?
■
Is the cutting tool properly sharp-
ened or is the correct cutting tool in-
stalled?
■
Are the handle grips and any option-
al vibration grips mounted, and are
they firmly attached to the appli-
ance?
■
Only operate the tool at the combustion en-
gine speed required for the respective work.
Avoid using the maximum speed in order to
reduce noise and vibrations.
■
The noise and vibrations of the tool may in-
crease due to improper use and mainte-
nance. This leads to health damage. In this
case, immediately switch off the tool and
have it repaired by an authorised service
workshop.
■
The degree of stress due to vibration de-
pends on the work to be performed or on the
use of the tool. Estimate the stress and plan
appropriate work breaks. This considerably
