Before Using A New Chain Saw - POWER SMITH PCS140H Manual Del Operador

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR CHAIN SAW
Kickback is a result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact
and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose
of the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction that could be hit while you are operating the
saw.
• always cut with the unit running at full speed. Fully squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain a steady
cutting speed.
• Use replacement parts such as low kickback chain, chain brakes and special guide bars that reduce
the risks associated with rotational kickback. Use only the replacement guide bars and low kickback chains
specified by the manufacturer for the saw.
• Push and Pull - This 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 PUSH when cutting along the top edge. PULL when
cutting on the bottom edge of the bar. See fig 3 & 4.

BEFORE USING A NEW CHAIN SAW

• Please read this manual carefully.
• Fully charge the battery before using it the first time. See instructions under the heading "Charging
the Battery".
• Fill with chain oil. See instructions under the heading "Filling with Chain Oil".
• Check that the cutting equipment is correctly fitted and adjusted. See instructions under the
heading "Assembly".
• Do not use the chain saw until sufficient chain oil has reached the chain. See instructions under
the heading "Lubricating Cutting Equipment".
• Long-term exposure to noise can result in permanent hearing impairment. So always use
approved hearing protection.
