SAFETY RULES
Basic Safety Precautions
• Read this manual carefully until you completely understand
and can follow all safety rules, precautions, and operating
instructions before attempting to use the unit.
• Restrict the use of your saw to adult users who understand
and can follow safety rules, precautions, and operating
instructions found in this manual. Minors should never be
allowed to use a chainsaw.
• Do not handle or operate a chain saw when you are fatigued,
1
ill, or upset, or if you have taken alcohol, drugs, or medication.
You must be in good physical condition and mentally alert.
Chain saw work is strenuous. If you have any condition that
might be aggravated by strenuous work, check with your
doctor before operating a chain saw (Fig. 1). Be more cautious
before rest periods and towards the end of your shift.
• Keep children, bystanders, and animals a minimum of 35 feet
(10 meters) away from the work area. Do not allow other
people or animals to be near the chain saw when starting or
operating the chain saw (Fig. 2).
• Major cases of chainsaw accidents happen when the chain
hits the operator. While working with the chainsaw, always use
2
safety protective approved clothing. The use of protective
clothing does not eliminate injury risks, but reduces the injury
effects in case of accident. Consult your trusted supplier to
choose equipment in compliance with legislation. The clothing
must be proper and not an obstacle. Wear adherent anti-cut
clothing. Anti-cut jackets (Fig.3), dungarees (Fig.3)
leggings are ideal. Do not wear clothes, scarves, ties or
bracelets that may get stuck in wood or twigs. Tie up and
protect long hair (example with foulards, cap, helmets, etc.).
Safety shoes or boots having skid-proof sole and anti-
piercing insert (Fig.4). Wear protective helmet (Fig.5) in
places where there can be falling objects. Wear protective
goggles or face screens! Use protections against noises:
3
for example noise reduction ear guards (Fig.5) or earplugs.
The use of protections for the ear requests much more
attention and caution, because the perception of danger audio
signals (screaming, alarms, etc.) is limited. Wear anti-cut
gloves (Fig.6, page 8).
• Only loan your saw to expert users who are completely familiar
with saw operation and correct use. Give other users the
manual with operating instructions, which they have to read
before using the saw.
• Check the chain saw each day to ensure that each device,
whether for safety or otherwise, is functional.
• Never use a damaged, modified, or improperly repaired or
4
assembled chain saw. Do not remove, damage or deactivate
any of the safety devices. Only use bars of the length indicated
in the table (page 12). Always replace bar, chain, hand guard,
or chain brake immediately if it becomes damaged, broken or
is otherwise removed.
• Carefully plan your sawing operation in advance. Do not start
cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and, if
you are felling trees, a planned retreat path.
• All saw service, other than the operations shown in the present
manual, have to be performed by competent personnel.
• The chain saw must only be used for cutting wood. It is
unadvisable to cut other types of material.
• It is unadvisable to hitch tools or applications to the P.t.o. that
5
are not specified by the manufacturer.
