Safety information

Jamming of the saw chain at the top edge of the

guide bar may knock the bar back quickly towards

the user.

Each of these reactions may lead to you losing con-

trol of the saw and possibly injuring yourself.

Do not solely rely on the safety equipment inte-

grated within the chainsaw. As the user of a

chainsaw, you should take a range of measures to

enable you to work free from accidents and injury.

Kickback results from incorrect or improper use of

the chainsaw. It can be avoided by taking proper

precautions as described below.

¾Hold the saw securely with both hands, with

thethumbsandngersconnectingaround

the chainsaw handle. Bring your body and

arms into a position in which you are able

to absorb kickback forces. If appropriate

measures are taken, the user will be able to

manage kickback forces. Never let go of the

chainsaw.

¾Adopt a normal posture. This will prevent

unintended contact with the tip of the bar and

will enable better control of the chainsaw in

unexpected situations.

¾Always use spare bars and saw chains

prescribed by the manufacturer. Improper

replacement bars and chains may lead to the

chain breaking and/or kickback.

¾Follow the instructions of the manufacturer

with respect to sharpening and maintaining

the saw chain. Excessively low depth limiters

increase the tendency for kickbacks.

General safety information for chainsaws

¾Follow all instructions when freeing the

chainsaw from material jams, storing it or

carrying out maintenance on it. Ensure that

theswitchisswitchedo󰀨andthepower

pack has been removed. If the chainsaw is

accidentally switched on when removing trapped

material or during maintenance, it can lead to

serious injuries.

Residual risks when using the device:

Even when the power tool is used properly, there

will always be certain residual risks which cannot

be excluded.

¾Contact with the unprotected saw chain (cut

injury)

¾Ejection of parts of the saw chain

¾Ejection of parts of the cut material

¾Damage to hearing

¾Inhalation of particles of cut material

¾Contact with oil

It is therefore mandatory always to use this device

with the additional personal protective equipment,

as illustrated and described in this operating man-

ual, and to follow the safety instructions.

Depending on the use and the activities to be per-

formed, the sound pressure level must be reduced

su󰀩ciently to prevent any impairment of the oper-

ator’s health. The sound pressure in the place of

work may exceed 80 dB (A). In such cases, hearing

protection measures are required for the operator

(e.g. wearing of ear defenders).

Regularly change your working position. Long-term

use of the device, can result in vibration-induced

circulatory disturbances in the hands. Neverthe-

less, the usage duration can be extended by use

of appropriate safety gloves or by taking regular

breaks.

Safety information for pole saws

¾Keep all body parts away from the cutting

tool. Do not attempt to remove cut twigs or

foliage or hold material to be cut when the

chain is running. Only rectify a chain jam

whenthetoolisswitchedo󰀨. One moment of

inattentiveness when using the device can result

in serious injuries.

¾Carry the pole saw by the handle with the

chainstationary.Alwaysttheprotective

cover when transporting the pole saw or

putting it away for storage. Careful handling of

the tool reduces the risk of injury from the chain.

¾Only hold the power tool by the insulated

handles, because the cutting chain can come

into contact with hidden power cables or even

its own power cable. Contact of the cutting tool

with a live cable may conduct voltage to metallic

tool components resulting in an electric shock.

¾Chain and cutting bar form the cutting

set. Only cutting sets approved by the

manufacturer can be used for a particular

tool. Pairing of components that are not

matched to each other, can result in injuries and

irreparable tool damage. Chains and bars made

by di󰀨erent manufacturers must not be combined

and used.

¾Check the tool for damage before every use

or after a shock or impact. The tool must be

repaired by a specialist workshop before it is

placed in service again.
