Original User Manual FUXTEC chainsaw FX-KS142_KS146_rev08 


 

1. 

Intended/non-intended use

 

The chainsaw is used for cutting branches, tree trunks, squared timber up 
to a diameter according to the cutting bar length. Only materials made of 
wood may be processed. 
Use adequate protective equipment during use according to the operating 
instructions. All other applications such as professional tree care within the 
tree are explicitly excluded. The user/operator and not the manufacturer is 
liable for damage or injury resulting from misuse. Only saw-chain/cutting-
bar combinations suitable for the device as specified in the operating 
instructions may be used. Part of the intended use is also the observance of 
the safety instructions and the operating instructions in the operating 
manual. Persons who operate and maintain the device must be familiar with 
it and with possible dangers. Furthermore, the applicable accident 
prevention regulations must be strictly adhered to. Other general rules in 
occupational medicine and safety areas must be observed. Changes to the 
device exclude any liability of the manufacturer and any resulting damage 
completely and lead to the guarantee becoming void. This device is only 
intended for use in open areas (garden). 
 
Residual risks 
Even when the tool is used properly, there is always a 
certain residual risk that cannot be excluded. The following potential 
hazards can be derived from the type and design of the tool: 
 

-

 

Contact with the unprotected saw chain (cutting injuries) 

-

 

Reaching into the running saw chain (cutting injury) 

-

 

Unforeseen, sudden movement of the saw-bar (cuts) 

-

 

Centrifuging parts of the saw chain 

-

 

Centrifuging of parts of the material to be cut 

-

 

Hearing damage if no prescribed hearing protection is worn 

-

 

Inhalation of cutting material particles, exhaust gases from the 
combustion engine 

-

 

Contact of petrol on the skin. 

Information on noise development 
 
A certain amount of noise pollution from this device cannot be avoided. Do 
not carry out noisy work at times when it is permitted and specified. If 
necessary, observe rest periods and limit the duration of work to the 
absolute minimum. For your personal protection and the protection of 
persons in the vicinity, wear suitable hearing protection. 
Warning: There may be national regulations (health and safety at work; 
environment) which may restrict the use of the chainsaw.
