MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts,

WARNING! Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge and should
be performed only by a qualified service technician. Have the product serviced
by an authorised service centre only. When servicing, use only original
replacement parts.
WARNING!
The saw chain is very sharp. To prevent personal injury,
exercise extreme caution when cleaning, fitting, or removing the chain
scabbard. Always wear protective gloves when performing maintenance on
the chain.
WARNING! Improper chain maintenance increases the potential of
kickback. Failure to replace or repair a damaged chain can cause serious injury.
■
Turn off the product and remove the battery pack before conducting any
maintenance or cleaning work.

RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely
eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise during
use, and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:
■
injury caused by vibration
–
Hold the product by the designated handles, and restrict working
time and exposure.
■
injury caused by exposure to noise
–
Wear hearing protection, and limit exposure.
■
injury from contact with the exposed saw teeth of the chain
■
injury caused by kickback or sudden and unforeseen movement of the
guide bar
■
injury caused by ejected parts of the saw chain
■
injury caused by thrown-off parts of the workpiece (wood chips and
splinters)
■
injury caused by dust and particles
■
injury caused by skin contact with the lubricant or oil
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may contribute
to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness, and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure
to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking,
and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of the
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly
reduce the effects of vibration:
■
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the product, wear
gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather
is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
■
After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
■
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately
discontinue use and see your physician.
WARNING! Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a
tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure that you take regular
breaks.
