Safety instructions for Electrical
branch chainsaw
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 chain-
saw is able to cause the saw chain to catch your clo-
thes or parts of your body.
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 ope-
rator and/or cause a loss of control over the chainsaw.
Be especially careful when cutting scrubs and sap-
lings. 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 swit-
ched-off condition and the saw chain must be de-
ectedfromyourbody.Fitaprotectioncoveron
