WARNING: The vibration emission level will vary because of the ways in which a power tool can be used and

may increase above the level given in this information sheet. The vibration emission level may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. An accurate estimate of the vibratory load shouldalso take into account the times when the tool isshut down or when it is running but not actually inuse. This may signicantly reduce the vibratoryload over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect theoperator from the eects of vibration such as:maintain the tool and the accessories, keep thehands warm, organisation of work patterns.32

Warning against dangerous voltage Warning about inammable substances CE marking

are in conict with the designation may lead to dangerous situations. Backlash causes and prevention: Backlash may take place when the saw bar point touches an item or when the wood bends and the saw chain gets stuck in the cutting. In many cases, a contact with the bar point may lead to a situation when the operator unexpectedly bends backward and the bar is ejected upward toward the operator as a result. Sticking of the saw chain on the upper edge of the bar may throw the bar intensely o toward the operator. Each such reaction may lead to losing control over the saw and you may get seriously injured. Do not fully rely on the safety equipment tted in the chain- saw. As the chainsaw user, you should take various measures t o be able to work without any accident and injury. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avo- ided by taking proper precautions as given below.

Hold the saw rmly with both hands; clamp the chainsaw handle with thumbs and ngers. Position your body and arms so that you could absorb the back impact. If appropriate measures are taken, the operator is able to control the back impact force. Never drop the chainsaw.

• Avoid abnormal body posture and do not cut above the shoulder level. This will prevent a contact with the bar point and the chainsaw will be controlled better in unexpected situations.

• Spare bars and saw chains specied by the manufacturer to be used at all times. Wrong spare bars and saw chains may lead to chain overloading and/or backlash.

• Follow the manufacturer instructions for chain- saw sharpening and maintenance. Too low depth limiters incr ease the tendency to back impact. Observe national regulations and instructions for chain saws operation. Take care to prevent from fuel and oil leakage during transport. The dust that arises when working with this tool can be detrimental to health and therefore not reach the body. Wear a suitable dust protection mask. Check the tension frequently. The length of the chain depends on the temperature. The length of the chain depends on the temperature. Checking the chain brake Engage the chain brake by rotating your left hand around the front handle. Allow the back of your hand to push the chain brake lever/hand guard toward the bar while the chain is rotating rapidly. Be sure to maintain both hands on the saw handles at all times. WARNING! If the chain brake does not stop the chain immediately, or if the chain brake will not stay in the run position without assistance, bring the chain Safety instructions

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failu- re to follow the warningsand instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

• Keep all parts of your body in safe distance from the saw when running. Before starting the saw, make sure the saw chain does not touch anything. A moment of inattention when working with the chainsaw is able to cause the saw chain to catch your clothes or parts of your body.

• Use your right hand to hold the chainsaw by its rear handle and your left hand to hold it by its front handle. Holding the chainsaw the opposite way increases the risk of injury and you must not do that.

• Wear protective glasses and ear protectors. Further, wearing head, hand and leg protection equipment is recommended. Suitable protective clothing minimises the risk of injury by thrown- away wood chips and possible contact with the saw chain.

• Do not work on trees with the chainsaw.There is a risk of injury when working on a tree.

• Provide safe posture at all times and use the chainsaw only when standing on a solid, safe and level surface. A slippery or unstable surface, such as ladder, may lead to loss of balance or loss of control over the chainsaw.

• When cutting a tense branch, be sure to know that the branch will bounce back. If tension in the wood bres gets released, the tense branch may hit the operator and/or cause a loss of control over the chainsaw.

• Be especially careful when cutting scrubs and saplings. Thin material may get caught in the chainsaw and hit you or you may lose your balance.

• Carry the chainsaw by the front handle in a switched-o condition and the saw chain must be deected from your body. Fit a protection cover on the chainsaw whenever it is transported or stored. Careful chainsaw treatment reduces the likelihood of an accidental contact with the running saw chain.

• Follow the lubrication, chain tension and accessory equipment replacement instructions. A chain that is not tightened or lubricated in a professional manner may crack or increase the risk of backlash.

• Keep the handles dry, clean and with no oil and fat. Handles dirty with fat or oil are slippery and lead to loss of control.

• Wood to be cut only. Do not use the chainsaw for works for which it has not been designed – example: do not use the chainsaw to cut plastic material, masonry or building materials not made of wood. Using the chainsaw for works that35 ENGLISH

Provide adequate lighting or good lighting conditions when working with the machine. Be careful when going backwards – risk of tripping! Do not run! Immediately remove cut bran- ches/knots from the work area to prevent injuries.

tch out for falling branches! The ON/OFF switch and safety switch must not be locked. Work instructions Felling a tree Whenbucking and felling operations are beingper- formed by two or more persons atthe same time, thefelling oper ations should be separated from the buckingoperation by a distance of at least twice the height of thetree beingfelled.Treesshould not be felled in a manner that wouldendanger any person, strike anyutility line, or cause anyproperty damage.If thetree does make contact with any utility line, thecompany should be notiedimmediate- ly.Thechain saw operator should keep on the uphill side ofthe terrain as the treeis likely to roll or slide downhillafter it is felled. An escape path should be planned and cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The escape path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall. Before felling starts, consider the natural lean of the tree, the location of larger branches, and the wind direction to judge which way the tree will fall. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and wire from the tree. Do not attempt to fell trees which are rotten or have been damaged by wind, re, lightning, etc. This is extremely dangerous and should only be completed by professional tree surgeons.

as necessary before cuts are started. The escape path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall. Before felling starts, consider the natural lean of the tree, the location of larger branches, and the wind direction to judge which way the tree will fall.

2. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples,

and wire from the tree. Do not attempt to fell trees which are rotten or have been damaged by wind, re, lightning, etc. This is extremely dangerous and should only be completed by professional tree surgeons. When the tree begins to fall remove the chain saw from the cut, stop the motor, put the chain saw down, anf use the retreat path planned. Be alert for falling overhead limbs and watch your footing. Removing buttress roots A buttress root is a large root extending from the trunk of the tree above the ground. Remove large buttress roots prior to felling. Make the horizontal cut into the buttress rst, followed by the vertical cut. Remove the resulting loose section from the work area. Follow the correct tree felling procedure after you have removed the large buttress roots. Bucking a log Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure your footing is rm and your weight is evenly distributed on both feet. When possible, the log should be raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the simple directions for easy cutting. When the log is supported along its entire length, it is cut from the top (overbuck). When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside (underbuck). Then make the nis

hed cut by overbucking to meet the rst cut. When the log is suppor ted on both ends, cut 1/3 the diameter from the top (overbuck). Then make the nished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the rst cut. When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log. To maintain control when “cutting through”, release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree. Limbing a tree Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree. When limbing, leave larger lower limbs to support the log o the ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut. Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid bindingthe chain saw. Cutting springpoles A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling which is bent under tension by other wood so that it springs back if the wood holding it is cut or removed. On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of springing back to the upright position during the bucking cut to separate the log from the stump. Watch out for springpoles—they are dan

gerous. Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the opera tor, causing the operator to lose control of36 the chain saw. This could result in severe or fatal injury to the operator. This should be done by trained users. Krallenanschlag

The integral bumper spike may be used as a pivot when making a cut. It helps to keep the body of the chain saw steady while cutting. When cutting, push the machine forward until the spikes dig into the edge of the wood, then by moving the rear handle up or down in the direction of the cutting line it can help ease the physical strain of cutting.
