e) Treat electric tools carefully. Check whether the
moving parts work perfectly and do not drag,
whether not broken or damaged to such an extent
that functioning of electric tools could be affected.
Have any damaged parts repaired before using
the machine. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
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 and 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.
Safety instructions for Electrical branch chainsaw
Keep all parts of your body in safe distance from the
saw when running. Before starting the saw, make
sure the saw chain does not touch anything. A mo-
ment of inattention when working with the chainsaw
is able to cause the saw chain to catch your clothes or
parts of your body.
Wear protective glasses and ear protectors. Further,
wearing head, hand and leg protection equipment
is recommended. Suitable protective clothing minimi-
ses the risk of injury by thrown-away wood chips and
possible contact with the saw chain.
Do not work on trees with the chainsaw. There is a risk
of injury when working on a tree.
Provide safe posture at all times and use the
chainsaw only when standing on a solid, safe and
level surface. A slippery or unstable surface, such as
ladder, may lead to loss of balance or loss of control over
the chainsaw.
When cutting a tense branch, be sure to know that
the branch will bounce back. If tension in the wood
fibres gets released, the tense branch may hit the ope-
rator and/or cause a loss of control over the chainsaw.
Be especially careful when cutting scrubs and
saplings. Thin material may get caught in the chainsaw and hit
you or you may lose your balance.
Carry the chainsaw by the front handle in a
switched-off condition and the saw chain must be
deflected from your body. Fit a protection cover on
the chainsaw whenever it is transported or stored.
Careful chainsaw treatment reduces the likelihood of an
accidental contact with the running saw chain.
