5 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The safety instructions must be observed when using the chainsaw. For your own safety and the safety of others, please read this information carefully before using the chainsaw and keep it in a safe place for reference. Use the chain saw only to saw wood or objects made of wood. Any other types of use are at your own risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper or incorrect usage.

5.1 Safety instructions and accident prevention

To prevent the incorrect handling of the chainsaw, please read the operating instructions in their entirety before using the chainsaw for the first time. All the information on the handling of the chainsaw is relevant to your personal safety. Ask a professional to show you how to use the chainsaw!  Before plugging in, check the plug and cable for damage. If damage is discovered, have it

repaired by a specialist immediately.

 Never use a damaged cable, connection or plug or a power cable which does not comply

with the requirements. If the cable is damaged or severed, unplug immediately.

 Switch the chainsaw off before releasing the chain brake.  Always wear goggles and protective gloves when working with the chainsaw.  To prevent injury, wear tight-fitting clothes and safety boots.  To prevent damage to your hearing, wear earmuffs. Helmets with a visor are particularly

advantageous.

 Make sure you have a firm footing when working with the chain saw.  Keep your place of work tidy.  To prevent electric shock, avoid contact with earthed parts.  Always pull the plug out of the power socket before doing any work on the chainsaw.  Only plug in when the chainsaw is switched off,  The chainsaw must be used only by one person at a time. All other persons must stay

clear of the chainsaw’s area of swing. Children and pets in particular must be kept well

away at all times.

 The saw must not be touching anything when it starts up.  Hold the chainsaw firmly in both hands when working with it.

POW64256 EN

 The chain saw must not be operated by children and young people. The only exception to

POW64256 EN

this prohibition are young persons of 16 years and over who can use the chain saw under supervision as part of their training. Lend the saw only to those persons who are familiar with this type of chainsaw and know how to handle it. Always pass on the operating instructions together with the chainsaw.

 Make sure the chain saw is stored in a place inaccessible to children.  The saw may be operated only by persons who are rested and in good health, i.e. in a

good physical condition. If you start to tire, have a break in time. The chainsaw should not be used after the consumption of alcohol.

 Never expose the chainsaw to rain or bad weather. Make sure there is enough light at the

place of work. Do not use power tools in the vicinity of combustible liquids or gases.

 If the chainsaw is not being used for a while, it must be set aside in such a way that no

other person is endangered.

 Before making a cut, always set the claw stop before you start to saw.  Remove the chainsaw from the wood only with the saw chain still running. Anyone who

saws without a stop can be pulled forwards.

 Never use the chainsaw when standing on a ladder, in a tree or in any other instable

places. Do not saw with one hand.

 The power cable must always be behind the saw operator.  The power cable must always lead away from the rear of the chainsaw.  Use only original accessories.  Chainsaws used outdoors must be connected up to an earth-leakage circuit-breaker.  Do not overload your power tools. They run best and safest within given range of capacity.  Always use the correct power tool. Do not use low-powered chainsaws for heavy jobs.  Use the cable only for its proper purpose. Never carry your electric tool by its cable. Do

not use the cable to pull the plug out of the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

Extension cables out doors

 Use only authorized and accordingly labelled extension cables out of doors.  Use a strong support when sawing converted timber and thin branches (saw-horse, Fig.

7b). Do not stack the timber and do not have it held by a second person or with your foot.

 Logs must be secured in position.  On sloping ground, always work facing upwards.  When cross-cutting always set the claw stop against the timber you want to saw (see Fig.

7b)

 Always set the claw stop before cross-cutting. Only then switch on the chainsaw and start

sawing into the wood. Pull the chainsaw upwards at the rear and lead the direction with the front grip. Use the claw stop as a fulcrum. To reposition for further cutting, interrupt the sawing process and exert a slight pressure on the front grip. Pull the saw back a little, position the claw stop further down the cut and pull up the rear grip (see Fig. 7a).

 Pull the saw out of the wood only when the saw chain is running.  If you carry out several cuts, switch off the chain saw in-between.  Plunge cuts and horizontal cuts may only be carried out by professionals (high risk of kick-

back, see Fig. 8).

 For horizontal cuts, position the smallest possible angle. This requires extreme caution, as

the claw stop can not be applied in this case.

 If the chain gets stuck when sawing with the upper side it may be thrust towards the

operator. For this reason you should saw wherever possible with the bottom side, as the chainsaw will then be thrust away from the body towards the wood (see Fig, 9 and 10).

 Pay extra attention when cutting splintered wood. Sawed off pieces of wood may be

catapulted in any direction (risk of injury!)

 Do not use the chainsaw to remove nails or similar objects.  When lopping off branches, the chain saw should be supported wherever possible against

the trunk, Do not cut with the tip of the guide bar (risk of kick-back, see Fig. 8).
