About these operating instructions

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)
