Operator safety
En
WARNING!
The tree-service chain saws (ECS-3300 / 3301,
TCS-3300S / 3301S) are designed especially
for tree care and surgery. Only persons trained
in tree care and surgery may use this saw.
Observe all literature, procedures and
recommendations from the relevant
professional organization. Failure to do so
constitutes a high accident risk. We recommend
always using a rising platform for sawing in
trees. Rappelling techniques are extremely
dangerous and require special training. The
operator must be trained in and be familiar
with the use of safety equipment and working
and climbing techniques. Always use the
restraining equipment for both the operator
and the saw.
Always wear a safety face shield or goggles.
Gloves should be used when sharpening
chain.
Always wear safety protective equipment such
as jacket, trousers, gloves, boots with steel
toe-caps and non-slip soles whenever you use
a chain saw. For working in trees the safety
boots must be suitable for climbing
techniques. Do not wear loose clothing,
jewelry, short pants. sandals or go barefoot.
Secure hair so it is above shoulder length.
Do not operate this tool when you are tired, ill
or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
medication.
Never let a child or inexperienced person
operate the machine.
Wear hearing protection.
Never start or run the engine inside a closed
room or building. Breathing exhaust fumes
can kill.
Keep handles free of oil and fuel.
Keep hands away from cutting equipment.
Do not grab or hold the unit by the cutting
equipment.
When the unit is turned off, make sure the
cutting attachment has stopped before the unit
is set down.
When operation is prolonged, take a break
from time to time so that you may avoid
possible whitefinger disease which is caused
by vibration.
The operator must obey the local regulations
of cutting area.
Unit / machine safety
Inspect the entire unit/machine before each
use. Replace damaged parts. Check for fuel
leaks and make sure all fasteners are in place
and securely tightened.

Keep the oil tank filled with clean oil. Never let
chain run dry on the bar.
All chainsaw service, other than the items
listed in the operator's/owner's manual, should
be performed by competent chain-saw service
personnel. (For example, if improper tools are
used to remove the flywheel or if an improper
tool is used to hold the flywheel in order to
remove the clutch, structural damage to the
flywheel could occur and could subsequently
cause the flywheel to burst.)
