For Safe Operation - Timberpro CS2500 Mode D'emploi

1. For safe operation

WARNING
This chainsaw has been especially designed for tree
maintenance and should therefore only be used by
trained operators when working on trees.
1. Never operate a chain saw when you
are fatigued, ill, or upset, or under the
influence of medication that may
make you drowsy, or if you are under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.
2. Use safety footwear, snug fitting
clothing and eye, hearing and head
protection devices.
Use the vibration-proof glove.
3. Keep the saw chain sharp and the
saw, including the AV system, well
maintained. A dull chain will increase
cutting time, and pressing a dull
chain through wood will increase the
vibrations transmitted to your hands.
A saw with loose components or with
damaged or worn AV buffers will also
tend to have higher vibration levels.
4. Always use caution when handling
fuel. Wipe up all spills and then move
the chain saw at least 3 m from the
fueling point before starting the en-
gine.
5. Eliminate all sources of sparks or
flame (i.e. smoking, open flames, or
work that can cause sparks) in the
areas where fuel is mixed, poured,
or stored.
6. Do not smoke while handling fuel or
while operating the chain saw.
7. Do not allow other persons to be near
the chain saw when starting or cut-
ting. Keep bystanders and animals
out of the work area. Children, pets
and bystanders should be a minimum
of 10 m away when you start or oper-
ate the chain saw.
8. Never start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and
a planned retreat path from the fall-
ing tree.
9. Always hold the chain saw firmly with
both hands when the engine is run-
ning. Use a firm grip with thumb and
fingers encircling the chain saw
handles.
