Detailed safety instructions for chainsaws.

• Do not attempt to cut metal.

• Do not use detergents or alcohol to clean the saw. Wipe with a soft dry cloth.

• Do not use accessories not specifically intended for this device and recommended by the manufacturer. The fact that some accessories can be mounted to a power tool is not a guarantee of safe use.

• The accessory mounting system must correspond to the dimensions of the power tool. Tools of improper dimensions cannot be sufficiently shielded or controlled.

• Use personal protective equipment. Depending on the type of work, wear a protective mask covering the whole face, eye protection, e.g. safety goggles. Eyes should be protected from airborne foreign matter ejected during operation. Protect the respiratory tract against dust and vapours with dust masks. The effects of prolonged exposure to noise can lead to hearing loss.

• Be careful that bystanders are kept at a safe distance from the working range of the chain saw. Anyone who is close to the operating power tool must use personal protective equipment. Chips of the material being cut or cracked work tools can chip and cause injuries even outside the immediate reach zone.

• Never move the power tool when it is in motion. Accidental contact of clothing with a working tool may cut it and come into contact with the operator’s body.

• Regularly clean the device’s ventilation slots. The motor blower sucks dust into the housing and a large accumulation of metal dust can cause an electrical hazard. Blocked ventilation slots of the device can also lead to overheating of the power tool.

• Before starting each time, make sure that:

  • the device is assembled correctly, according to the instructions;
  • the cutting tool is in good condition; the chain attachment must be checked regularly for damage and wear;
  • safety devices (e.g. cutter guard, housing, handle, motor switch) are in good condition and working properly.

• Only move the chainsaw away from the workpiece when the cutting chain is running.

• Always use the support claws as a support point when cutting through. Holding the saw by the main handle, guide it with the auxiliary handle.

• If it is not possible to cut the material at one time, pull the saw slightly back, move the support claw and continue cutting by lifting the main handle of the saw slightly.

• Be extra careful when the chain gets stuck. This may result in the kickback towards you.

• After the saw is switched off, the chain remains in motion for some time. Caution must be maintained.

• The rotating chain of the saw heats up and expands. Without proper lubrication and tension, it can jump off the guide bar or break off. Danger of serious accident and damage to property.
  Always turn off the saw when:

  • is left unattended;
  • before adjustment and maintenance;
  • after it being hit by a foreign object;
  • abnormal vibrations of the device are sensed.
