Before you start working
Individuals who have not read the instruction manual
and are not familiarized with how to operate the
electric chainsaw must not use it.
Pay attention to the area where the appliance will be
used and check for potential obstacles, objects (coiled
wires, metal parts). In case it is not possible to remove
these objects or obstacles, mark them so that they do
not come into contact with the cutting accessories
when using the equipment.
Before starting the electric chainsaw:
▪ Carry out an inspection to ensure correct assembly of
the electric chainsaw, safety issues and good
performance of the electric chainsaw;
▪ Check that the safety devices are in perfect condition
and function properly. Never use the power tool if
the safety devices are missing, inhibited, damaged or
worn out;
▪ Replace defective parts and all other worn out and
damaged parts;
▪ After the accessories' assembly and before using the
power tool, test it at full speed with no load for a
while. Check for moving parts misalignment or any
other condition that may affect the electric chainsaw.
Check that all moving parts run smoothly, without
abnormal noises;
▪ Carry out all the necessary adjustments and work. If
you have any questions or difficulties, contact your
official VITO distributor.
While operating
Keep third parties at least 5m away from the
electric chainsaw's area of operation. Never work
while animals or people, especially children, are in the
danger zone. When using an electric chainsaw, particles
can be ejected at high speed which can cause injury.
Also keep a safe distance from objects (vehicles and
glass) in order to avoid material damage.
When two or more people are working simultaneously
in the same area, they must keep a safe distance in
order to prevent accidents and injuries.
28
Work only in daylight or with good artificial lighting. Do
not operate the electric chainsaw at night or when it is
not possible to have a clear view of the work area.
Never work with the electric chainsaw when adverse
meteorological conditions such as dense fog, rain or
strong wind, storms or lightning.
When operating the electric chainsaw, stand in a stable
position and always keep your balance.
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain
while using the chainsaw.
Always wear personal protective equipment and
clothing. Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing
protection, anti-slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing,
gloves, helmet and shin guards properly reduces the risk
of injury.
Clothing worn during the appliance operation must be
adequate, tight and closed, for example, a work boiler
suit. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Always wear resistant shoes with non-slip sole that
completely covers the foot.
In case of nausea, headaches, sight problems (e.g.,
reduced vision), hearing problems, dizziness and
reduced
ability
to
immediately.
Plan rest breaks when using the chainsaw and avoid
using it for long periods. Permanent vibrations are
harmful to health.
Do not attempt to remove the wrapped material from
the cutting accessories and respective guards while the
motor is running or the chain is rotating. Stop the motor
and wait for all the accessories to stop before removing
the material wrapped around the chain guide bar shaft.
