6. If the equipment gets heavy impact or fall, check the

condition before continuing work. Check the controls

and safety devices for malfunction. If there is any

damage or doubt, ask our authorized service center

for the inspection and repair.

7. Hold the saw firmly in place to avoid skating (skid

movement) or bouncing of the saw when starting a

cut.

8. At the end of the cut, be careful to keep your balance

due to the “drop”.

9. Take into account the direction and speed of the

wind. Avoid sawdust and chain oil mist.

Protective equipment

1. In order to avoid head, eye, hand or foot injuries

as well as to protect your hearing the following

protective equipment must be used during oper-

ation of the chain saw:

– The kind of clothing should be appropriate, i. e. it

should be tight-fitting but not be a hindrance. Do

not wear jewelry or clothing which could become

entangled with bushes or shrubs. If you have long

hair, always wear a hairnet!

– It is necessary to wear a protective helmet when-

ever working with the chain saw. The protective

helmet is to be checked in regular intervals for

damage and is to be replaced after 5 years at the

latest. Use only approved protective helmets.

– The face shield of the protective helmet (or the

goggles) protects against sawdust and wood

chips. During operation of the chain saw always

wear a goggle or a face shield to prevent eye inju-

ries.

– Wear adequate noise protection equipment

(ear muffs, ear plugs, etc.)

– The protective jacket consists of 22 layers of

nylon and protects the operator against cuts. It is

always to be worn when working from elevated

platforms (cherry pickers, lifts), from platforms

mounted on ladders or when climbing with ropes.

– The protective brace and bib overall is made of

a nylon fabric with 22 layers and protects against

cuts. We strongly recommend its use.

– Protective gloves made of thick leather are part

of the prescribed equipment and must always be

worn during operation of the chain saw.

– During operation of the chain saw safety shoes

or safety boots fitted with anti skid sole, steel toe

caps and protection for the leg must always to be

worn. Safety shoes equipped with a protective

layer provide protection against cuts and ensure a

secure footing. For working in trees the safety

boots must be suitable for climbing techniques.

Vibration

1. Individuals with poor circulation who are exposed to

excessive vibration may experience injury to blood

vessels or the nervous system.

Vibration may cause the following symptoms to

occur in the fingers, hands or wrists: “Falling asleep”

(numbness), tingling, pain, stabbing sensation, alter-

ation of skin colour or of the skin.

If any of these symptoms occur, see a physician!

To reduce the risk of “white finger disease”, keep

your hands warm during operation and well maintain

the equipment and accessories.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged.

Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-

tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
