1. General guidelines for safe operation.
1.1. Safe operation of gasoline chain saws.
Warning! Persons unfamiliar with instruction manual are not allowed to use chain saw. Use the chain saw for cutting wood
only. 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. Workplace
1.2. Work area safety.
Keep your workplace tidy and ensure it is well lit. Untidiness and insufficient illumination contribute to accidents especially
when chain saws are in use. Keep children and bystanders away from the workplace. Distraction may cause loss of control over
the tool.
1.3. Personal safety.
Use safety equipment, such as work suit, protective glasses, protective shoes, protective helmet, earmuffs, protection and
leather gloves. Using safety equipment in appropriate conditions reduces risk of body injury. Do not overestimate your abilities.
Stand firmly and keep your balance at all times. It enables better control over the saw in unpredicted situations. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
may be caught by moving parts.
1.4. Transportation and storing.
When carrying the chain saw switch off the engine, put on the chain cover and switch on the chain brake. Carrying unsecured
and operating chain saw may cause body injury. Carrying the chain saw is possible only when holding its front handle. Other
parts may not ensure appropriate grip and even cause injury. Inspect your chain saw. Check alignment and fixing of moving
parts, check against part cracks and all other factors that may affect operation of the saw. Repair the saw before use if it is
found damaged. Many accidents are caused by improper maintenance of tool. Cutting chain should be clean and sharp. Proper
maintenance of sharp cutting edges of chain reduces the risk of jamming and makes operation easier.
1.5. Power tool use and care.
Check proper operation of the saw brake regularly. In emergency situation, non-operational brake may make chain
disengagement impossible.
1.6. Operation.
1.6.1. Switch off the chain saw engine before releasing the chain brake.
1.6.2. 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.
1.6.3. When working for a long time, the saw operator may experience formication and numbness in fingers and hands.
1.6.4. Stop working in such case, because numbness reduces precision in saw use.
1.6.5. Fill the fuel tank of the saw with petrol and oil blend when the engine is off and cooled down, otherwise there is risk of
spilling the blend and ignition from hot parts of the saw.
1.6.6. Do not start the saw when leakage is found, it may cause fire.
1.6.7. The saw heats considerably during operation. Be careful and do not touch hot parts of the saw with unprotected parts
of your body.
1.6.8. Only one person can operate the chain saw at a time. All other persons shall be away from working area of the chain
saw. Especially children and animals should be away from working area.
