4. ELECTRIC CHAINSAW
4.1. Safety warning.
4.1.1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating. Before
you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
4.1.2. Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the
front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
4.1.3. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the chain saw.
4.1.4. DO NOT operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up a tree may result
in personal injury.
4.1.5. Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
4.1.6. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
4.1.7. DO NOT use for cutting brush and saplings. The tender slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
The safety rules must be observed during machine use. Before starting the machine, read the instructions regarding personal safety and the safety of unauthorized persons. Keep the instructions in a good state for future use

Rev 2
4.1.8. Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away you’re
your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
4.1.9. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
4.1.10. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
4.1.11. Cut wood only. DO NOT use chain saw for purposes not intended. For example: do not use
chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
4.2. Causes and Operator prevention of kickback.
4.2.1. Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the
wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
4.2.2. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in
serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw.
4.2.3. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
4.2.4. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below;
4.2.4.1. Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles, with
both hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
4.2.4.2. DO NOT overreach and DO NOT cut above shoulder der height. This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
4.2.4.3. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
4.2.4.4. Follow the manufactures sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw
chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
4.3. Techniques for using the chain saw.
4.3.1. Always observe the safety regulations and use the most suitable sawing techniques.
4.4. Safe carrying of the chain saw;
4.4.1. Whenever the machine is to be handled or transported you must;
4.4.1.1. Turn off the engine, wait for the chain to stop and unplug the machine from the
mains;
4.4.1.2. Mount the bar cover;
4.4.1.3. Only hold the machine using the handgrips and position the bar in the opposite
direction to that used during operation.
4.4.1.4. When using a vehicle to transport the machine, position it so that it can cause no
danger to persons and is secured firmly.
