enable you to work without suffering accidents or
injuries.
Recoil is the result of incorrect or wrong use of the
electric tool. It can be prevented by suitable
precautions, as described below:
Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with
n
fingers and thumbs gripped around the
handles. Steady yourself with your body and
arms in a position in which you can control
the kickback forces. Provided appropriate
measures are taken, an operator should be
capable of controlling the kickback forces. Never
let go of the chain saw.
Avoid abnormal working postures. Never cut
n
above shoulder height. This prevents
accidental contact with the tip of the rail and
offers better control over the chainsaw in
unexpected situations.
Always use the correct replacement rails and
n
saw chains recommended by the
manufacturer. The use of incorrect replacement
rails or saw chains may result in breakage of the
chain and/or kickback.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
n
sharpening and maintaining the saw chain.
The risk of kickback is increased if the depth
limiter is set too low.
More important information:
Use an earth-leakage circuit breaker with a trip
n
current of 30 mA or less.
Position the power cable such that it cannot be
n
caught by branches or the like during sawing.
We recommend that first-time users should at
n
least practice cutting roundwood (logs) on a
sawing trestle or similar.
Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in
accordance to instructions, certain residual risks
cannot be eliminated. The following hazards may
arise in connection with the equipment's
construction and layout:
Cut injuries if no safety clothing is used.
n
Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask
n
is applied.
Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is
n
applied.
Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if
n
the equipment is used over a longer period or is
not properly guided and maintained.
Warning! The electric power tool generates an
electromagnetic field during operation. Under certain
circumstances this field may actively or passively
impede medical implants. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries, we recommend persons with
medical implants to consult their doctor and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to using the
equipment.
Do not lose this safety information.
