Possible hazards:
- Prolonged exposure to vibrations may lead to
injuries and neurovascular disorders (also called

especially in people with circulatory disorders.
The symptoms can affect hands, wrists and
fingers and manifest themselves as loss of
sensitivity, weariness, itching, pain and

must be observed.
3.2 Additional Safety Instructions:
Therefore, support the saw on the housing against
the wood to be sawn and guide it to the cut at
maximum speed.
Inspect the wood for nails, cords, wires or loose
parts and remove them before sawing.
The saw chain is braked after it is switched off. Have
the machine repaired if braking time is clearly
lengthened.
If the machine has been dropped or subjected to
other impacts: Inspect the machine thoroughly to
check for damage or other defects.
Wear personal protective equipment and always
wear safety glasses. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
protective gloves, tight-fitting protective clothing
and hearing protection will reduce personal injuries.
Keep at least 15 m distance to uninvolved persons.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Never use the telescopic rod rail as a lever.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Do not operate the machine in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This reduces the risk to be hit by
lightning.
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;
Dangerous tensile
force: if the saw is not
put with the housing
against the wood to be
sawn, there is a risk that
the saw will be pulled
forward unexpectedly.
