Read and observe the operating instructions
of the power pack and its charger.
¾
Do not use the device if you have not received
appropriate training.
¾
Keep 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 off.
One moment of
inattentiveness when using the device can result
in serious injuries.
¾
Never leave the tool unattended during breaks
and store it in a secure location.
¾
Be aware of hidden objects when working.
¾
Always hold the tool firmly with both hands.
Grip the rear handle with your right hand and
the bow-shaped handle with your left hand,
even if you are left-handed. Do not release the
handles!
¾
Also when working maintain a safe distance
relative to the cutting tool.
¾
Wear the prescribed personal protective
equipment.
¾
Wear suitable safety goggles, safety helmet
and ear defenders!
¾
If you have long hair, wear a hairnet.
¾
Take extra care if you are walking backwards.
Risk of tripping!
¾
Switch the motor off when carrying the device
to or from separate working positions and
activate the chain brake.
¾
Never bypass or manipulate switching mech-
anisms installed on the device (e.g. by taping
the switch to the handle).
¾
Always be aware of your environment and
possible hazards which you may not be able
to hear because of the noise of the device.
¾
No other persons or animals may remain
within a circumference of 15 metres around
the cutting area because they may be injured
by ejected objects.
¾
Do not work in poor lighting or weather con-
ditions.
¾
Only use the tool for the work for which it is
intended.
¾
Whenever changing position, switch the
motor off and activate the chain brake.
Carry
the power tool only with the cutting bar pointing
backwards and with the sheath attached.
¾
Do not use the device if it is raining or there is
a risk of storms.
¾
Never saw above shoulder height! Do not
bend forwards or lean backwards.
¾
Always saw at a high chain speed to avoid
the risk of chainsaw kickbacks, slipping or
jamming.
¾
If the chainsaw is jammed at the cutting point,
stop the saw immediately.
Do not attempt to
pull the guide bar out with force. Prise the cutting
point open with a wedge or a bar.
¾
Use the device's bumper spikes when sawing.
The bumper spikes are there to provide safe and
simple operation of the chainsaw. They increase
your stability when performing vertical sawing
work. Therefore, always use the bumper spikes
when sawing. They can anchor into the wood
and thus be used as a pivot point. Always place
the saw on the bumper spike as flat and close as
possible to prevent dangers..
¾
Do not carry out cutting work in bushes, as
this may result in small twigs being caught in
the chain and then thrown out in an uncon-
trolled manner.
¾
Ensure that you can stand safely and securely
in every work position.
¾
Before starting the tool, ensure that the chain
is not touching anything.
¾
Do not stretch the arms too far forwards.
¾
Do not saw any wooden parts that are under
strain.
¾
Never work alone. Ensure that you within ear-
shot or sight of, or have some other form of
connection with another person, who is able
to provide first aid in an emergency.
¾
If you are setting the tool down, always en-
sure that the motor is turned off.
¾
Every time you move to a different location,
turn the motor off and fit the protective cover.
¾
Never use the tool in a wet or moist environ-
ment.
¾
Only use chains and bars approved by the
manufacturer.
