Using the extension, designed for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
1.4. Personal safety.
Use safety equipment, such as work suit, protective glasses, protective shoes, protective helmet, earmuffs, protection and leather gloves. Using safety
equipment in appropriate conditions reduces risk of body injury.
Do not overestimate your abilities. Stand firmly and keep your balance at all times.
It enables better control over the chain saw in unpredicted situations.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair may be caught by moving parts.
1.5. Transportation and storage.
When carrying the chain saw put on the chain cover and switch on the chain brake. Carrying unsecured and operating chain saw may cause body injury.
Carrying the chain saw is possible only when holding its front handle.
Other parts may not ensure appropriate grip and even cause injury.
Inspect your chain saw. Check alignment and fixing of moving parts, check against part cracks and all other factors that may affect operation of the chain
saw. Repair the chain saw before use if it is found damaged. Many accidents are caused by improper maintenance of machine.
Saw chain should be clean and sharp. Proper maintenance of sharp cutting edges of saw chain reduces the risk of jamming and makes operation easier.
1.6. Power tool use and care.
Check proper operation of the saw brake regularly. In emergency situation, non-operational brake may make saw chain disengagement impossible.
1.7. Safety operation.
1.7.1. Be concentrated, watch their actions carefully and act cautiously and prudently. Do not use the chain saw when you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or narcotic drugs.
A moment of distraction at work with chain saw may have the effect of extremely serious injuries.
1.7.2. Avoid the danger of incorporating the chain saw inadvertently.
If you carry a chain saw, keep your finger on the trigger switch, or if you submit a voltage of grinding when turned on, there is the risk of accident.
1.7.3. Before you switch on the chain saw, that you are sure to remove all utilities and wrenches.
Utilities, forgotten on rotating unit can cause injuries.
1.7.4. Avoid unnatural positions of the body. Work in a stable position of the body at any time and keep the balance. So you can control the chain saw
better and safer if unexpected situations arise.
1.7.5. Well as a long time when you will not use the chain saw, unplug the plug from the electric installation. This measure eliminates the danger of
triggering the grinding inadvertently.
1.7.6. Keep a chain saw in places where they can not be reached by children. Do not allow them to be used by persons who are not familiar with how to
work with them and have not read those instructions. When you are in the hands of inexperienced users, chain saw can be extremely dangerous.
1.7.7. Keep your chain saw with care. Check whether the mobile units operate impeccable, whether it spells, if there is a broken or damaged item which
distort or alter the functions of the chain saw. Before using the chain saw, make sure that the damaged parts to be repaired. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools and appliances.
1.7.8. Keep the power cords a safe distance from rotating work tools. If you lose control of the chain saw, the cable can be cut or fascinated by the
working tool and it can cause injuries.
1.7.9. Never leave chain saw before working tool to completely stop its rotation. Rotary tool can touch the object, resulting in losing control of the chain
saw.
1.7.10. Regularly clean the vent on your chain saw.
1.7.11. Do not use a chain saw near flammable materials. Flying sparks can cause the ignition of such materials.
1.7.12. Never put your hands near the rotary working tools. If the kick occurs, the instrument can make you hurt.
1.7.13. Do not use the chain saw when the power cord is damaged. If during operation the cable is damaged, do not touch. Immediately disconnect the
plug from the electric installation.
Damaged power cables increase the risk of electric shock.
Failure of the considered instructions may lead to electric shock, fire and / or severe injuries.
1.7.14. Be very careful at the end of a cut, because the chain saw having no support in processed material falls down due to its inertia, which may cause
injuries.
1.7.15. When working for a long time, the saw operator may experience formication and numbness in fingers and hands.
Stop working in such case, because numbness reduces precision in saw use.
1.7.16. In the appearance of signs of fatigue should immediately stop work.
1.7.17. Only one person can operate with the chain saw at a time. All other persons shall be away from working area of the chain saw. Especially children
and animals should be away from working area.
1.7.18. When starting the saw, its chain must not rest on the processed material or touch anything else.
1.7.19. When working with the chain saw hold it with both hands by both handles. Keep firm body position.
1.7.20. Children and juveniles cannot operate the chain saw. Allow access to the saw only to adults who know how to handle the tool. This instruction
manual should be given with the chain saw.
1.7.21. Before starting to cut set the chain brake lever in appropriate position (pull it to yourself). It is also hand guard.
1.7.22. Move chain saw away from the material being cut only when the cutting chain is working.
1.7.23. When cutting processed sawn wood or thin branches use support (sawing horse). Do not cut several boards at the same time (placed one on top
of another), or material held by other person or held with foot.
1.7.24. Long objects should be firmly fixed before cutting.
1.7.25. When you working on sloping terrain stay with the face to slope.
1.7.26. When cutting through always use the bumper spike as a point of support. Hold the saw by the rear handle and guide with the front handle.
1.7.27. In case the cut cannot be completed in one run, pull the saw a little back, put the bumper spike in another place and continue the cut lifting rear
handle slightly.
1.7.28. When cutting in horizontal plane, position yourself at an angle as close to 90° from cutting line as possible. Such operation requires concentration.
1.7.29. When the chain is pinched when cutting with the tip of the bar, the saw may recoil towards operator. Because of this effect cut with the straight
part of the chain whenever possible. Then, in case of pinching, the recoil effect changes direction away from the operator.
1.7.30. Be very careful when cutting wood when there is the risk of splitting. Pieces of wood that are cut off can be flung in any direction (risk of body
injury!).
1.7.31. Only trained persons should cut tree branches! Uncontrolled fall of a tree branch constitutes a risk of body injury!
1.7.32. Do not cut with tip of the guide bar (risk of recoil).
1.7.33. Pay special attention to branches under strain. Do not cut branches, which hangs freely, from below.
1.7.34. Always stand to the side of predicted fall line of the tree that is to be cut.
1.7.35. During a tree fell there is a risk that branches of the tree, or trees in proximity, will break and fall. Be very careful, otherwise a body injury may
occur.
1.7.36. On a sloped terrain the operator should stay on upper part of the slope with respect to the tree being cut, never lower.
1.7.37. Watch out for logs that may roll down towards you. Jump away!
1.7.38. Operating saw tends to rotate when tip of the chain guide bar touches processed material. In such case the saw may get out of control and move
towards the operator (risk of body injury!).
1.7.39. Do not use the saw above your shoulder level, or when standing on a tree, ladder, scaffold, trunk etc.
1.8. To prevent saw recoil follow below instructions.
1.8.1. Never start or guide a cut with the tip of the guide bar!
1.8.2. Always start cutting with saw previously switched on!
1.8.3. Ensure the cutting chain is sharp.
1.8.4. Never cut more than one branch at a time. When cutting off, watch out for surrounding branches. When cutting a tree through, watch out for
nearby tree trunks.
2. Construction and use.
Electric chain saw is a hand-held tool. The chain saw is a device driven by a single-phase commutator motor. The saw can be used for cutting down trees,
cutting branches, firewood, wood for fireplace and other tasks where cutting wood is necessary. Petrol chain saw is a tool for amateur use only.
