PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

These operating instructions describe a hand-
guided electric chain saw with mains cable.

2.1

Designated use

The chain saw is designed exclusively for domes-
tic, DIY and gardening applications. In this sector,
the chain saw can be used for light wood sawing
work, e.g. for:

■

Cutting up timber

■

Pruning hedgerows

■

Sawing firewood

Because of the electrical drive, the electric chain
saw can be used for sawing wood not only out-
doors, but also in closed rooms. Any application
not in accordance with the application described
here shall be regarded as misuse.

This appliance is intended solely for use in non-
commercial applications. Any other use (as well
as unauthorised conversions or add-ons) are re-
garded as contrary to the intended use and will
result in exclusion of the warranty as well as loss
of conformity (CE mark); the manufacturer will
thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or
injury suffered by the user or third parties.

CAUTION! Danger of injury due to non-

designated use!

If wood or other substances

embedded with foreign bodies are sawn with the
chain saw, injury can result.

■

Only use the chain saw for light wood sawing
work.

■

Before sawing wood, check for foreign bod-
ies, e.g. nails, screws, fittings.

2.2

Possible foreseeable misuse

■

Do not saw off any branches that are directly
or at an acute angle above the user or other
persons.

■

Do not use old oil or mineral oil for lubrication
of the saw chain.

■

Do not use the tool in a potentially explosive
atmosphere.

2.3

Residual risks

Even when using the appliance as intended,
there is always a certain residual risk that cannot
be excluded. The following hazards cannot be
ruled out due to the nature and design of the ap-
pliance.

■

Contact with the exposed teeth of the chain
(risk of cutting)

■

Access to the moving chain (risk of cutting)

■

Sudden and unexpected movement of the
bar (risk of cutting)
