Better safe than sorry - protective equipment for
working with a chainsaw.
Safety is a matter of immense importance
for us and that is why all chain saws
include comprehensive safety
features. Optimum protection while
working with a chain saw depends,
on the these technical safety features,
your personal protective equipment
and your attitude. A safe working
technique, a sharp chain and slow
thoughtout actions because protective
clothing alone is not enough! There
is no such thing as "perfect" clothing
guaranteeing total protection. For
this reason, you should always strictly
follow the safety instructions in the
User Manual for your chain saw.
If you have never used a power tool
before attend a training course.
Minors should never be allowed to use a
chain saw without supervision. Keep
children, animals and bystanders
well away from the work area. Ensure
that the chainsaw cannot be used without
authorization. The user is responsible
for accidents or risks involving third
parties or their property.
A chainsaw should only be loaned to
people familiar with its operation –
and the Instruction Manual should
always be handed over with the
machine. The machine may only be
operated by people who are in
good physical health and in good mental
condition. Check that saw is properly assembled
and in good condition - refer to appropriate chapters in the
Instruction Manual
