Ego Power+ CS1610 - Cut Only One Work Piece at a Time; Push and Pull Technique; Plan Work Area and Escape Path; Keep Bystanders at Safe Distance When Felling

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1610/CS1610-FC16
◾
Inspect the work piece for nails, wire, or other foreign objects prior to
cutting. When bucking, secure the work piece prior to cutting. When
felling or pruning, identify and secure hazardous branches.
◾
Aggressive or abusive cutting or misuse of the chain saw can cause
premature bar, chain, and/or sprocket wear, as well as a broken chain or
bar, leading to kickback, chain throw or the ejection of material.
◾
Never use the guide bar as a lever. A bent guide bar can cause premature
bar, chain, and/ or sprocket wear, as well as a broken chain or bar, leading to
kickback, chain throw or the ejection of material.
Cut only one work piece at a
time.
◾
Push and Pull – The reaction force
is always opposite to the direction
the chain is moving where wood
contact is made. Thus, the operator
must be ready to control the PULL
when cutting on the bottom edge of
the bar, and the PUSH when cutting
along the top edge. See Fig 7.
◾
Plan the work, ensuring an
obstacle-free work area and, in
the case of felling, at least one
escape path from the falling
tree.
◾
When felling, keep bystanders at
least two tree lengths away.
◾
Do not incinerate the appliance
even if it is severely damaged.
The batteries can explode in a fire.
