Switch off the machine and remove battery pack(s).
Ensure that all moving parts have come to a
standstill:
- if you leave the machine unattended;
- before clearing any blockages;
- before checking or cleaning the machine or before
carrying out any work on the machine;
- if a foreign object has been hit or if the machine
has been dropped. Check the machine for
damage and have repairs carried out before
putting the machine back into operation.
- when the machine starts to vibrate excessively.
If the machine starts to vibrate with unusual
strength, an immediate check is required:
- check for damage;
- replace or repair damaged parts;
- ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are
tightened.
In the event of an accident or malfunction, switch off
the machine immediately and remove the battery
pack.
Ensure the chainsaw is correctly tensioned. A loose
chainsaw can jump up and cause serious or even
fatal injuries.
To prevent accidental starting: Always remove the
battery packs before checking the chain tension,
retightening the chain, changing the chain,
eliminating faults and prior to every change of
workplace.
Remove battery packs from the machine. Wait until
all moving parts have come to a standstill before
making any adjustments, retrofitting, maintenance,
cleaning or before storing the machine.
Additional safety instructions in the operating
manual for the cordless multifunction drive must be
observed.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
- arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals,work in a well-
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials, such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).

Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby
persons or towards dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or an air purifier,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush protective gear.
