Instruction Manual - VERTO 52G584 Manual Del Usuario

misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
• 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.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This
helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of
the chain saw in unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height
can lead to increased kickback.
• Persons unfamiliar with instruction manual are not allowed to
use chain saw.
• 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.
• Carrying the chain saw is possible only when holding its front
handle. Other parts may not ensure appropriate grip and even cause
injury.
• Cutting chain should be clean and sharp. Proper maintenance of
sharp cutting edges of chain reduces the risk of jamming and makes
operation easier.
• Check proper operation of the saw brake regularly. In emergency
situation, non-operational brake may make chain disengagement
impossible.
OPERATION
• 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.
• 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 and animals shall be away from working area of the chain
saw.
• When starting the saw, its cutting chain must not rest on the
processed material.
• Children and juveniles cannot operate the chain saw. Allow only
adults who know how to handle the tool to access the saw. 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.
• When cutting 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.
• On sloped terrain process with cutting only when facing towards top
of the hill.
• 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, slide the saw out,
position the bumper spike and continue the cut by lifting rear
handle.
• When cutting in horizontal plane, position yourself at an angle as
close to 90º from cutting line as possible. Horizontal cutting requires
the operator to be focused.
• When the chain is pinched when cutting with the tip of the bar,
the saw may kickback towards operator. Because of this effect cut
with the straight part of the chain whenever possible. Then, in case
of pinching, the kickback effect changes direction away from the
operator.
• Be very careful when cutting wood when there is 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 kickback).
• 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!).
TO PREVENT SAW KICKBACK FOLLOW BELOW INSTRUCTIONS:
• During kickback the chain saw cannot be controlled and the chain
is loosened.
• Incorrectly sharpened chain increases risk of kickback.
• Ensure the processed material is firmly fixed.
• Use clamps to fix the material.
• Never cut more than one branch at a time. When cutting off, watch
out for surrounding branches.
• When cutting a tree through, watch out for nearby tree trunks.
CAUTION!
The design is assumed to be safe, protection measures and
additional safety systems are used, nevertheless there is always a
small risk of operational injuries.
