6. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Keep all parts of your body in safe distance from the saw when running. Before
starting the saw, make sure the saw chain does not touch anything. A moment of
inattention when working with the chainsaw is able to cause the saw chain to catch your clothes or parts of
your body.
Use your right hand to hold the chainsaw by its rear handle and your left hand to
hold it by its front handle. Holding the chainsaw the opposite way increases the risk of injury and you
must not do that.
Wear protective glasses and ear protectors.
Further, wearing head, hand and leg protection equipment is recommended. Suitable
protective clothing minimises the risk of injury by thrown-away wood chips and possible contact with the
saw chain.
Do not work on trees with the chainsaw. There is a risk of injury when working on a tree.
Provide safe posture at all times and use the chainsaw only when standing on
a solid, safe and level surface. A slippery or unstable surface, such as ladder, may lead to loss of
balance or loss of control over the chainsaw.
When cutting a tense branch, be sure to know that the branch will bounce back.
If tension in the wood fi bres gets released, the tense branch may hit the operator and/or cause a loss of
control over the chainsaw.
Be especially careful when cutting scrubs and saplings. Thin material may get caught in the
chainsaw and hit you or you may lose your balance.
Carry the chainsaw by the front handle in a switched-off condition and the saw chain
must be defl ected from your body. Fit a protection cover on the chainsaw whenever
it is transported or stored.
Careful chainsaw treatment reduces the likelihood of an accidental contact with the running saw chain.
Follow the lubrication, chain tension and accessory equipment replacement
instructions.
A chain that is not tightened or lubricated in a professional manner may crack or increase the risk of
backlash.
Keep the handles dry, clean and with no oil and fat. Handles dirty with fat or oil are slippery
and lead to loss of control.
