GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Bar

Check regularly:

•Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar. Remove these with a ﬁle if necessary.

•Whether the groove in the bar has become badly worn. Replace the bar if necessary.

•Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If a hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is due to running with a slack chain.

•To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over daily.

WARNING! Most chain saw accidents

!happen when the chain touches the operator.

Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions under the heading ”Personal protective equipment”.

Do not tackle any job that you feel you are not adequately trained for. See instructions under the headings Personal protective equipment, How to avoid kickback, Cutting equipment and General working instructions.

Use the recommended protective equipment and check its condition. See instructions under the headings Technical data and General safety precautions.

Check that all the chain saw safety features are working. See instructions under the headings General working instructions and General safety precautions.

Never use a chain saw by holding it with one hand. A chain saw is not safely controlled with one hand. Always have a secure, ﬁrm grip around the handles with both hands.
