5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE
ATTENTION! Never hold electrical saw with just one hand, an operator or passers-by can
get seriously injured. Electrical chain saw is designed in such a way that it can be operated
with both hands.
ATTENTION! The use of accessories that is not compliant with the recommendations
included in the operating manual can lead to serious injuries.
Wear protective clothing. Do not wear jewels or loose clothing that can get caught by moving
parts of the saw. We recommend to use approved safety gloves and solid footwear for stable
work posture (the same applies to helpers).
Wear the following items approved for this purpose:
- protective shield or protective glasses
- protective headphones
- helmet
- safety footwear with protective framework, steel tip and anti-slip sole
- clothing that is comfortable but not loose
- approved strengthened protective gloves
- always have a first-aid kit with yourself!
Make sure that other persons keep sufficient distance from the workplace when saw chain is
on. Keep passers-by, children and domestic animals out of work area. Do not allow
inexperienced persons to operate electric saw or power cord.
Keep workplace clean and well lit. Do not use the saw under the conditions of rain, snow,
moisture or near water. Water (moisture) penetration into the motor can cause its short
circuit.
Do not use the machine when you are under the influence of alcohol or narcotics or if you are
tired or exhausted. Do not use the machine in case you take the medication that could
influence and limit your decision-making abilities at safe machine operation. When the saw
motor is on, keep all parts of your body in sufficient distance from the chain. Before the motor
is turned on, make sure that the saw chain does not get in touch with any unwanted item.
Pay high attention to avoid electric current injury. Do not touch grounded metal items.
Pay high attention to the manipulation with power cord. Never lift up or move electrical saw
using the power cord. Do not unplug saw from the socket by pulling out with the cord. Keep
the cord away from water, oil and sharp items. Avoid putting the cord under doors, fences or
other conductive metal objects.
Before use check chain saw and power cord. Do not use the saw with a damaged cord. Have
it repaired in an authorized service facility. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil stains.
Before plugging the saw to mains make sure that all tools and covers are removed from
electrical saw.
Make sure that the extension cord is in a good shape and approved for outdoor use. Make
sure that cord dimension is sufficient considering chain saw output. See section „GENERAL
