7. Working with the chainsaw

Preparations
To ensure that you can work safely, check the fol-
lowing points before every use:
Condition of the chainsaw
Inspect the chainsaw before the start of work for
damage to the housing, the power cable, the saw
chain and the cutter rail. Never use a chainsaw
which is obviously damaged.
Oil container
Level of oil in the oil container: Both before and
during your work make sure that there is always
suffi cient oil in the system. To avoid damaging the
chainsaw, never run the saw if there is no oil in the
system or if the oil drops below the „min" mark.
On average, a single fi lling will last around 15
minutes depending on the number of pauses in
cutting and the loads involved.
Chain
Tension of the chain, condition of the cutting
elements: The sharper the chain, the easier and
more controllable it is to operate the chainsaw.
The same also applies to the chain tension. For
greater safety you must check the chain tension
before your work and at least every 10 minutes
during your work. New chains in particular tend to
expand more.
Safety clothing
Always wear appropriate tight-fi tting safety
clothing such as special trousers which protect
against cuts, protective gloves and safety shoes.
Hearing protection and protective goggles.
Wear a protective helmet with integral face and
hearing protection. This will off er protection
against falling branches and recoiling branches.

must use the equipment at a working angle of
max. 60°.
•
Never stand under the branch you want to
saw.

ches under tension and splintering wood.
