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.

!happen when the chain touches the operator.

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 heading General working instructions.
