SPECIFIC RULES FOR POLE SAWS
9. Carry the switched-off chain saw using the front handle with the chain pointing away from your body. Always put
on the protective cover when trasnporting or storing the chain saw. Carefully handling the saw greatly reduces the
risk of accidentally touching the sharp cutting chain.
10. Follow the instructions for lubrication, chain tension and changing accessories. An improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or considerably increase the risk of kickback.
11. Keep the handles dry, clean and free from gas, oil and grease. Slippery handles may lead to a loss of control.
12. Never attempt to use an incomplete or altered saw.
13. This machine is not intended for use by persons with an impaired physical, sensory or mental capacity or by
persons with insufficient pole saw knowledge or experience.
14. Remain alert; pay attention to what you are doing and proceed sensibly when working with an electric tool. Do
not use the machine if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
15. Young persons under the age of 16 are not permitted to operate this device.
16. Inspect the saw thoroughly before use for damage. If any parts or pieces appear to be missing or damaged, do
not operate the saw.
17. Do not operate during adverse weather conditions, particularly during lightening and rain.
18. Always make sure the chain tension is correct.
19. Only use properly functioning chainsaws. Only work with a saw chain sharpened according to regulations.
20. Never saw with the upper edge or tip of the guide bar.
21. Always hold the saw firmly with two hands.
22. Sawing wood under tension necessitates an increased amount of caution. Wood that is suddenly released from
tension can react in a completely uncontrolled manner. This can result in severe to deadly injuries. Such work may
only be performed by trained specialists.
