Safety recommendations for the chainsaw
X We strongly recommend that first time users obtain
practical instruction in the use of the chainsaw and
protective equipment from an experienced user. Initial
practice should be completed sawing logs on a saw horse
or cradle.
X We recommend that when carrying the chainsaw that you
make sure that the brake is engaged
X Maintain your chainsaw when not in use. Do not store your
chainsaw for any length of time without first removing the
saw chain and guide bar which should be kept immersed in
oil. Store all parts of your chainsaw in a dry, secure place
out of reach of children.
X We recommend you drain the oil reservoir prior to storage.
X Be sure of your footing and pre-plan a safe exit from a
falling tree or branches.
X Use wedges to help control felling and prevent binding the
guide bar and saw chain in the cut.
X Saw chain care. Keep the saw chain sharp and snug on the
guide bar. Ensure the saw chain and guide bar are clean
and well oiled. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Kickback can be caused by:
X Striking branches or other objects accidentally with a tip of
the saw while the saw chain is moving.
X Striking metal, cement or any other hard material near the
wood, or buried in the wood.
X A dull or loose chain.
X Cutting above shoulder height.
X Lack of attention when holding or guiding the chainsaw
while cutting.
X Over-reaching. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times and do not overreach.
X Do not try to insert into a previous cut. As this could cause
kickback. Make a fresh cut every time.
X We strongly recommend you do not attempt to operate
your chainsaw while in a tree, on a ladder or on any other
unstable surface. If you decide to do so, be advised that
these positions are extremely dangerous.
X When cutting a branch that is under tension, be alert for
spring back so that you will not be struck when the tension
is released.
Avoid cutting:
X Prepared timber.
X Into the ground.
X Into wire fences, nails. etc.
X Into small sized brush and saplings because slender
material may catch the saw chain and be whipped towards
you, or pull you off balance.
X Do not use your chainsaw above shoulder height.
X Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in case
of an accident.
X If for any reason you have to touch the saw chain, make
sure your chainsaw is disconnected from the mains.
X The noise from this product can exceed 85 dB(A).
