position especially when working at heights.
Clothing and Equipment
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery which can be caught in moving parts.
Use of sturdy gloves, non-skid footwear, and
safety glasses is recommended;
Always wear ear protection. Loud
noises for an extended period of
time may damage your hearing.
Total face and head protection must
be worn to reduce injury from falling
branches.
Wear no-slip heavy duty work
gloves to improve your grip on the
brush cutter handle. Gloves also
reduce the transmission of machine
vibration to your hands.
The dust, vapour and smoke
produced during operation may be
dangerous to health. If the work
area is very dusty or smoky, wear a
respirator.
Transporting the Machine
The engine should be turned off when the
machine is moved between areas and when
transporting or storing the machine. Always turn
off the engine. Always fit the blade covers
before carrying your tool. When transporting in
a vehicle: properly secure your machine to
prevent turnover, fuel spillage and damage.
Fuelling
Fuel is extremely flammable.
Keep clear of naked flames. Do
not spill any fuel. Do not smoke
near fuel or the machine. Always
shut off the engine before refuelling. Do not fuel
a hot engine – fuel may spill and cause a fire.
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release slowly
and avoid fuel spillage. Fuel your machine only
in well ventilated areas. If you spill fuel, wipe
the machine immediately – if fuel gets on your
clothing, change immediately. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal burn injuries, check for
fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not
start or run the engine until leak is fixed.
During Operation
Make sure you always have good balance and
secure footing. Always be aware of your
surroundings and stay alert for possible
hazards that you may not hear due to the noise
of the machine.
Never allow children to access the
machine.
Avoid operating while people, especially
children are nearby. To reduce the risk of injury,
do not allow any other persons within a radius
of 25 meters of your own position. To reduce
the risk of damage to property, also maintain
this distance from other objects (vehicles,
windows).
After Finishing Work
Always clean dust and dirt off the machine – do
not use any grease solvents. Always keep the
machine clean, especially, the fuel tank, its
surroundings, and the air cleaner. After the
engine has stopped, the muffler will still be hot.
Never place the machine in any places where
there are flammable materials such as dry
grass, combustible gases or combustible liquids
etc. Replace cutting tool covers.

Chainsaw Safety
WARNING! Before attempting to do anything with the
chainsaw READ THE MANUAL.
WARNING! Chainsaws have the potential to inflict injuries
and/or create hazardous situations. The major causes of
accidents are ignorance of the hazards and operators'
apathy to common sense safety procedures.
WARNING! Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices
built into your saw. As chainsaw user, you should take
several steps to reduce chances of accident or injury. The
following list is not full or exhaustive - attend proper training
before using a chainsaw .PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING FOR CHAINSAW USERS
IMPORTANT! A chainsaw operator must not only ensure
that the machine is in safe operating condition but must also
wear protective clothing for optimum protection.
- Head Protection (hard hat). A hard hat should be worn at all times
as protection from failing material, and to reduce injuries from
kickback.
- Ear Protection (ear muffs/ear plugs). All operators and assistants
etc. should wear suitable ear protection. Chainsaws operate in the
region of 100-110 dB(A) at the operator's ear, therefore careful
consideration must be given to the attenuation of the ear protector.
- Eye Protection (goggles/glasses/mesh & perspex screens). The
chain on the saw rotates at more than 40 km/h, so chips and
material can be flung at the operator's eyes at very high speed.
- Leg Protection (trousers/chaps) leg protectors in a variety of Kevlar
and nylons are most effective in preventing cuts to the operators
legs – a common problem.
- Foot Protection (safety boots). These should have steel toe caps,,
non-slip deep tread soles or have metal sprigs or cleats to protect
toes from saw cuts and feet from failing material.
- Hand Protection (gloves/mittens). As well as protecting hands from
cuts, abrasions etc. and keeping them warm, they prevent
vibration induced problems such as Raynaud's Disease.
THE CHAINSAW
The chainsaw should have all safety mechanisms/guards installed
and working.
CHAINSAW KICKBACK
CRITICAL! Other than the obvious risk of physical contact with
a moving chain, the single most dangerous aspect of the saw
is 'kickback'.
This occurs when the bar nose contacts an object, resulting in an
instantaneous kick reaction which can launch the rotating chain toward
the users face/head. Severe injuries and sometimes death can result.
To prevent kickback:
- Avoid using the bar nose. Always be alert to anything coming in
contact with the bar nose.
- Ensure that safety chain is used, and that it is correctly sharpened
and tensioned.
- Always operate with two hands on the saw handles, with the
thumb of the left hand placed under the front handle.
- Avoid the use of the saw above the shoulders and always keep the
saw in front of the body.
CHAINSAW OPERATION
- Ensure that all safety features are fitted and operational before
starting to saw; that all nuts, covers, etc. are secure.
- To start, place saw on ground, with foot through rear handle/ hand
guard to steady the saw.
- When crosscutting or pruning, check if any branches are ‘under
tension’ before cutting.
- Seek advice and/or training in the use of the chainsaw. Many
accidents are the result of ignorance.
- Always wear the recommended personal protective clothing.
FELLING OF TREES
IMPORTANT! Tree felling should be carried out by trained and
experienced personnel only. Assistance and advice should be
sought if the operator is unsure how to fell a certain tree.
FIRE SAFETY
Chainsaws can easily start fires, for two reasons:
1. Poorly maintained and/or faulty exhaust systems.
2. Ignition of spilt fuels by internal sparks.
To avoid fires:
- Ensure muffler is in good condition and fitted with a spark arrester
screen.- Keep muffler clean of carbon build up and deposit.
- Ensure that saw is correctly tuned. Do not use on extreme fire
danger days. - Do not spill fuel over saw when refuelling.
