1.2 Specific safety rules
DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and saw
chain. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle. If both
hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the saw
chain.
Do not reach underneath the work. The saw chain is not
protected by a guard and can not protect you from the saw
chain below the work.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your
leg. It is important to support the work properly to minimize
body exposure, saw chain binding, or loss of control.
Check proper working of clutch before each use. Do not
operate saw if clutch, which is used to stop the movement
of the saw chain, is not working instantly. Never clamp
clutch actuator*.
If saw is accidentaly dropped, check proper working of
clutch and check if the blade is not bend. Move the blade
and make sure the saw chain and blade moves freely and
does not touch the guard or any other part, in all depths of cut.
Always observe the the blade is retracted in the guard before
placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected , coasting
blade wil cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is
in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the saw chain to
stop after cluch actuator* is released.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator.
Always use saw chains with correct size and shape. Saw
chains that do not match the mounting hardware (blade) of the
saw chain could get stuck or run out of the blade.
