f) Keep cutting attachments sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
attachments with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories,
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 electric power tool
serviced by a qualified repair person
using only original replacement
parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Chain saw safety warnings
Keep all parts of the body away
–
from the saw chain when the chain
saw is operating, 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 chain saw with your
–
right hand on the rear handle and
your left hand on the front handle.
Holding the chain saw the other way
round increases the risk of injury
and may not be used.
HTE 60
Always hold your electric power tool
–
by the insulated handles because
the saw chain may contact hidden
electrical wires or your own power
cord. Any saw chain contact with a
live wire may energize metallic parts
of the power tool and result in an
electric shock.
Wear safety glasses and hearing
–
protection. Further protective
equipment for head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Suitable
protective clothing helps reduce the
risk of injury from thrown wood chips
and accidental contact with the saw
chain.
Do not operate a chain saw in a
–
tree. There is an increased risk of
injury when working in a tree.
Always keep proper footing and
–
operate the chain saw only when
standing on a fixed, secure and
level surface. A slippery surface or
instable support such as a ladder
could cause the operator to lose
control of the chain saw.
When cutting a limb that is under
–
tension be alert 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.
Use extreme caution when cutting
–
brush and saplings. 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 saw switched
off and away from your body. When
transporting or storing the chain
saw always fit the guide bar
scabbard. Proper handling of the
chain saw will reduce the likelihood
of accidental contact with the
moving saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating,
–
chain tensioning 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. Greasy, oily
handles are slippery causing loss of
control.
Cut wood only. Do not use chain
–
saw for purposes not intended.
Example: do not use chain saw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-
wood building materials. Use of the
chain saw 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 reaction, 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.
