Freeing A Trapped Saw; Residual Risks - pellenc SELION C21 HD Operating Instructions Manual

2.8.7. FREEING A TRAPPED SAW

It the saw becomes trapped during cutting, operators should:
• switch off the saw and attach it securely to the tree inward (i.e. towards the trunk side) of the cut or to a separate
tool line,
• pull the saw from the blockage whilst lifting the branch as necessary,
• if necessary, use a handsaw or second chainsaw to release the trapped saw by cutting a minimum of 30 cm
away from the trapped saw.
Whether a handsaw or a chainsaw is used to free a trapped saw, the release cuts should always be outward (toward
the tips of the branch), in order to prevent the saw being taken with the section and further complicating the situation.

2.9. RESIDUAL RISKS

Despite compliance with the intended usage of the Chainsaw Selion C21 HD, there are always residual risks.
The following potential risks may apply:
• Risk of cuts due to contact with exposed saw teeth of the Chainsaw Selion C21 HD
• Risk of cuts due to contact with the moving chain
• Risk of cuts due to unexpected and sudden movement of the guide bar
• Risk of cutting or piercing injuries related to the projection of parts of the Chainsaw Selion C21 HD
• Risk of projections of splinters, bark, etc. while sawing
• Risk of allergy related to skin contact with chain oil
• Risk of fire resulting from cutting of certain particularly flammable wood species
• Risk of electrification / electrocution in the event of contact or proximity between the chainsaw and live cables.
• Risk of the user falling from a tree, related to the risks inherent in the practice of pruning at height.
• Aggravated risk of falling if the user cuts the rope with which secures his position in the tree.
