16. Attention! Read the Operating Instruc-

in the use of a chain saw before you use it
for the first time.
17. Always store your electric tools in a safe
place. Electric tools not being used should be
stored in a dry, inaccessible or locked place,
outside the reach of children.
18. Use the cable only for the intended purpose.
Never carry or suspend electric devices by the
cable. Do not use the cable to pull the plug from
the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
19. Check the extension cable regularly and
replace it if it gets worn or damaged. Keep the
handle dry and free of oil and grease.
20. Pull the plug from the socket when replacing
the saw chain or sword.
21. Do not leave the tool key in the ignition.
Check before switching on that the key and
adjustment tools are removed.
22. Avoid accidental starting. Do not hold your
��
finger on the switch when carrying an electric
tool that is connected to the power source.
Ensure that the switch is off when the plug is
inserted in the socket.
23. Damaged switches have to be replaced by
a customer service workshop. Do not use an
electric tool if the switch cannot be switched on
or off.
24. Caution: Only use accessories or parts that
are listed in the operating instructions. Use of
other tools and other accessories mean safety
risks for the operator.
25. Never subject the electrical chain saw to rain
and do not work in wet surroundings.
26. Check the chain saw for its proper operating
state before every use.Please pay special atten-
tion to the sword and chain.

every time before you use it. Damaged cables
must be replaced.

while working with it.
29. No other person may be within the working
range of the chain saw.
30. The chain saw must be disconnected from
the power supply before you tighten the chain,
exchange the chain or carry out any other work
on the saw. – Withdraw the plug!
31. During work breaks put the machine down in
such a manner that nobody is at risk.

may recoil ("kick-back").
37. Do not use the chain saw near combustible
gases or dust – danger of explosion.
38. The chain saw may only be connected to
socket outlets with earthing contact and tested
