e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional power tool safety warnings
@
Warning! Additional safety warnings for
chainsaws
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
u
when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the
chainsaw, 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 chain saw.
Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the
u
rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the chainsaw with a reversed hand configuration
increases the risk of personal injury and should never be
done.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
u
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further
u
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 saw chain.
Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a
u
chainsaw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw
u
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 chainsaw.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
u
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.
(Original instructions)
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings.
u
The slender material may catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain
u
saw switched off and away from your body. When
transporting or storing the chainsaw always fit the
guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will
reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the moving
saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
u
and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance
for kickback
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
u
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
Cut wood only. Do not use chainsaw for purposes not
u
intended. For example: do not use the chainsaw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materi-
als. Use of the chainsaw for operations different than
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback
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 reac-
tion, 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.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of
the chainsaw which could result in serious personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your
chainsaw. As a chainsaw user, you should take several steps
to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and / or incorrect operat-
ing procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encir-
u
cling the chainsaw handles. With both hands on the
chainsaw, position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be control-
led by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not
let go of the chainsaw.
Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
u
height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situ-
ations.
Only use replacement guide bars and chains specified
u
by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide bars
and chains may cause chain breakage and/ or kickback.
Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and mainte-
u
nance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the
depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
Striking metal, cement or any other hard material near the
u
wood, or buried in the wood can cause kickback.
A dull or loose chain can cause kickback.
u
Do not try to insert into a previous cut. As this could cause
u
kickback. Make a fresh cut every time.
