extremely sharp. Wear suitable protective gloves when
performing chain maintenance and when cleaning, se-
curing or removing the bar scrabbard. ● Follow the in-
structions for chain tensioning, chain tension
adjustment and chain lubrication. ● Severe injuries due
to kickback if a damaged chain is not replaced or re-

pack before cleaning or servicing the device. ● Ensure
that the device is in a safe condition by regularly check-
ing that all bolts, nuts and screws are screwed tight.

cloth each time after use.
Residual risks
WARNING
● Certain residual risks remain present, even when the
device is operated in the prescribed manner. The fol-
lowing dangers can be present when using the de-
vice:
● Vibration can cause injuries. Use the correct tools
for the job, use the handles provided and restrict the
working time and hazard exposure time.
● Noise can cause hearing injuries. Wear hearing pro-
tection and limit the duration of exposure.
● Incision injuries on contact with exposed saw teeth
of the saw chain.
● Incision injuries due to unforeseen, abrupt move-
ments or kickback of the guide rail.
● Incision injuries / risk of injection by parts flying away
from the saw chain.
● Injuries caused by hurled objects (wood shavings,
splinters).
● Injuries due to falling objects. Always wear a suita-
ble protective helmet when working overhead.
● Inhalation of dust and particles.
● Skin contact with the lubricant / oil.
CAUTION
● Using the device for longer periods can cause poor
circulation in the hands due to vibrations. A general
period of use cannot be set, because this depends on
several influencing factors:
● Personal tendency to suffer from poor circulation
(frequently cold fingers, tingling sensation in the fin-
gers)
● Low ambient temperature. Wear warm gloves to
protect your hands.
● Holding the device too tightly hindering blood circu-
lation.
● Continuous operation is more harmful than opera-
tion interrupted by work breaks.
You should see a doctor if using the device regularly
and for lengthy periods of time, and in the event of re-
peated occurrences of symptoms such as tingling in
the fingers or cold fingers.
