MANUAL CAREFULLY AND KEEP IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS
SAFE USE OF PETROL CHAIN SAW
Warning!
• Persons unfamiliar with instruction manual are not allowed to
use chain saw.
• Use the chain saw for cutting wood only.
• Other use of the chain saw is the sole responsibility of the user
who should bear in mind that it may be dangerous.
• The manufacturer is not responsible for losses and damages
resulting from unintended use of the chain saw.
WORKPLACE
Keep your workplace tidy and ensure it is well lit. Untidiness
a.
and insufficient illumination contribute to accidents especially when
chain saws are in use.
Keep children and bystanders away from the workplace.
b.
Distraction may cause loss of control over the tool.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Use safety equipment, such as work suit, protective glasses,
a.
protective shoes, protective helmet, earmuff protection and
leather gloves. Using safety equipment in appropriate conditions
reduces risk of body injury.
Do not overestimate your abilities. Stand firmly and keep
b.
your balance at all times. It enables better control over the saw in
unpredicted situations.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
c.
clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewellery or long hair may be caught by moving parts.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORING
When carrying the chain saw switch off the engine, put on the
a.
chain cover and switch on the chain brake. Carrying unsecured
and operating chain saw may cause body injury.
Carrying the chain saw is possible only when holding its front
b.
handle. Other parts may not ensure appropriate grip and even cause
injury.
Inspect your chain saw. Check alignment and fixing of moving
c.
parts, check against part cracks and all other factors that
may affect operation of the saw. Repair the saw before use
if it is found damaged. Many accidents are caused by improper
maintenance of tool.
Cutting chain should be clean and sharp. Proper maintenance of
d.
sharp cutting edges of chain reduces the risk of jamming and makes
operation easier.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Check proper operation of the saw brake regularly. In
a.
emergency situation, non-operational brake may make chain
disengagement impossible.
When work with the chain saw is completed, the tool must
b.
be cleaned carefully as well as used personal protective
equipment, while the sensitive components must be
maintained.
OPERATION
• Switch off the chain saw engine before releasing the chain brake.
• Be very careful at the end of a cut, because the saw having no
support in processed material falls down due to its inertia, which
may cause injuries.
• When working for a long time, the saw operator may experience
formication and numbness in fingers and hands. Stop working in
such case, because numbness reduces precision in saw use.
• Fill the fuel tank of the saw with petrol and oil blend when the
engine is off and cooled down, otherwise there is risk of spilling
the blend and ignition from hot parts of the saw.
• It is forbidden to use open flame and smoke cigarettes.
• Do not start the saw when leakage is found, it may cause fire.
• The saw heats considerably during operation. Be careful and do
not touch hot parts of the saw with unprotected parts of your
body.
• Only one person can operate the chain saw at a time. All other
persons shall be away from working area of the chain saw.
Especially children and animals should be away from working
area.
• When starting the saw, its chain must not rest on the processed
material or touch anything else.
• When working with the chain saw hold it with both hands by both
handles. Keep firm body position.
• Children and juveniles cannot operate the chain saw. Allow access
to the saw only to adults who know how to handle the tool. This
instruction manual should be given with the chain saw.
• Stop working with the chain saw with first signs of fatigue.
• Before starting to cut set the chain brake lever in appropriate
position (pull it to yourself ). It is also hand guard.
• Move chain saw away from the material being cut only when the
cutting chain is working.
• When cutting processed sawn wood or thin branches use support
(sawing horse). Do not cut several boards at the same time (placed
one on top of another), or material held by other person or held
with foot.
• Long objects should be firmly fixed before cutting.
• In uneven, sloping terrain proceed with your work when facing
upwards.
• When cutting through always use the bumper spike as a point of
support. Hold the saw by the rear handle and guide with the front
handle.
• In case the cut cannot be completed in one run, pull the saw a
little back, put the bumper spike in another place and continue
the cut lifting rear handle slightly.
• When cutting in horizontal plane, position yourself at an angle as
close to 90º from cutting line as possible. Such operation requires
concentration.
• When the chain is pinched when cutting with the tip of the bar,
the saw may recoil towards operator. Because of this effect cut
with the straight part of the chain whenever possible. Then, in
case of pinching, the recoil effect changes direction away from
the operator.
• Be very careful when cutting wood when there is the risk of
splitting. Pieces of wood that are cut off can be flung in any
direction (risk of body injury!).
• Only trained persons should cut tree branches! Uncontrolled fall
of a tree branch constitutes a risk of body injury!
• Do not cut with tip of the guide bar (risk of recoil).
• Pay special attention to branches under strain. Do not cut
branches, which hangs freely, from below.
• Always stand to the side of predicted fall line of the tree that is
to be cut.
• During a tree fell there is a risk that branches of the tree, or trees
in proximity, will break and fall. Be very careful, otherwise a body
injury may occur.
• On a sloped terrain the operator should stay on upper part of the
slope with respect to the tree being cut, never lower.
• Watch out for logs that may roll down towards you. Jump away!
• Operating saw tends to rotate when tip of the chain guide bar
touches processed material. In such case the saw may get out of
control and move towards the operator (risk of body injury!).
