61012131411Kickback- When working with the chain saw dangerous kickbacks mayoccur.- Kickbacks are produced when the upper part of the end ofthe guide bar inadvertently touches wood or other hard ob-jects (10).- In this case the chain saw is thrown without any control andwith high energy potentials in the direction of the user (risk ofinjuries).In order to prevent kickbacks follow the instructions givenbelow:- When timber must be pierced for cutting it is urgently re-commended to have these works carried out by specially trainedpeople only.- Never apply the end of the bar when starting to make a cut.- Always observe the end of the guide bar. Be careful whencontinuing an already done cut.- When starting to cut the chain must be running.- Ensure that the chain is always sharpened correctly. Pay specialattention to the hight of the depth limiter.- Never cut several branches at the same time. When cutting abranch ensure that no other branch is touched.- When crosscutting a trunk be aware of the trunks next to it.Working behavior/Method of working- Only use the chain saw during good light and visibility periods.Be aware of slippery or wet areas, and of ice and snow (risk ofslipping). The risk of slipping is extremely high when workingon recently peeled wood (bark).- Never work on unstable surfaces. Make sure that there are noobstacles in the working area, risk of stumbling. Always ensurethat you have a safe footing.- Never saw above your shoulder height (11).- Never saw while standing on a ladder.- Never climb up into trees to perform sawing with the chainsaw.- Never bend forward by far to perform sawing.- Guide the chain saw in such a way that no part of your body iswithin the elongated swivelling range of the saw (12).- Use the chain saw for sawing wood only.- Avoid to touch the ground with the chain saw while it is stillrunning.- Never use the chain saw for lifting up or removing pieces ofwood or other objects.- Remove foreign bodies such as sand, stones and nails foundwithin the working area. Foreign bodies may damage the sawingdevice and can cause dangerous kickbacks.- When sawing precut timber use a safe support (sawing jack,13). Do not ask anyone to hold the wood, and do not hold itwith your foot.- For cutting down trees or performing crosscuts the toothedledge (13,Z) must be applied to the wood to be cut.- Before performing a crosscut firmly apply the toothed ledgeto the timber, only then can the timber be cut with the chainrunning. For this the chain saw is lifted at the back handle andguided with the tubular handle. The toothed ledge serves as acenter of rotation. Continue by slightly pressing down the tubularhandle and simultaneously pulling backwards the chain saw.Apply the toothed ledge a little bit deeper and once again liftthe back handle.- When the timber must be pierced for cutting or longitudinalcuts are to be performed it is urgently recommended tohave these works carried out by specially trained personsonly (high risk of kickbacks).- For performing longitudinal cuts (14) apply the sawing deviceat an angle which is as small as possible. Be very careful whencarrying out this kind of work because the toothed ledge cannotbe used.- The sawing device must be running whenever you removethe chain saw from the timber.- When performing several cuts the throttle lever must be releasedin between.Z
