Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
This special
chain saw may be
used only by per-
sons who are
trained in special
cutting and work-
ing techniques.
Tree surgery chainsaws are special-
purpose saws equipped with a top
handle. They are designed specifically
for tree surgery and maintenance in
the crown of the standing tree. They
must not be used for logging or cutting
firewood. Normal chain saws with wider
spaced handles are recommended for
such operations.
Due to the special han-
dle design (closely
spaced handles) there is
an increased risk of
injury using this kind of
saw (cut injuries due to
uncontrolled reactive
forces of the chain saw).
Chain saw operators must be properly
secured while working in a tree (e.g. lift
bucket, personal safety equipment,
safety harness).
Operators must be specially trained for
tree surgery work with the tree surgery
chain saw:
– in safe working techniques
– in the use of personal safety
equipment
– in the use of fall protection
equipment
