Product description
responsibility for damage and/or injury suffered
by the user or third parties.
CAUTION! Danger of injury due to non-
designated use! If wood or other substances
embedded with foreign bodies are sawn with the
chain saw, injury can result.
■
Only use the chain saw for light wood sawing
work.
■
Before sawing wood, check for foreign bod-
ies, e.g. nails, screws, fittings.
2.2 Possible foreseeable misuse
■
Do not saw off any branches that are directly
or at an acute angle above the user or other
persons.
■
Do not use old oil or mineral oil for lubrication
of the saw chain.
■
Do not use the tool in a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
2.3 Residual risks
Even when using the appliance as intended,
there is always a certain residual risk that cannot
be excluded. The following hazards cannot be
ruled out due to the nature and design of the ap-
pliance.
■
Contact with the exposed teeth of the chain
(risk of cutting)
■
Access to the moving chain (risk of cutting)
■
Sudden and unexpected movement of the
bar (risk of cutting)
■
Detachment of parts of the chain (risk of cut-
ting/injury)
■
Detachment of parts of the wood being
worked on
■
Impairment of hearing during work if ear de-
fenders are not used
2.4 Safety and protective devices
WARNING! Danger of serious injury from
manipulated safety and protective devices. As
a result of manipulated safety and protective de-
vices, serious injury can occur when working with
the chain saw.
■
Never deactivate safety and protective devic-
es.
■
Only work with the chain saw if all safety and
protective devices function correctly.
2.4.1 Switch-on protection
If the operator applies the throttle quickly several
times in succession, the chain saw switches off
for a few seconds to protect the electronics and
the saw chain. In this case, wait until the chain
saw can be switched on again.
2.4.2 Chain brake/chain brake bracket
The chain saw has a manual chain brake that is
triggered by the chain brake bracket, for example
if kickback occurs. If the chain brake is tripped,
saw chain and motor are stopped immediately.
2.4.3 Overload protection
The chain saw is equipped with an overload pro-
tection which switches off in case of overload.
After a cooling-down phase, the chain saw can
be switched on again.
2.4.4 Run-out brake
The mechanical run-out brake is coupled to the
chain brake and ensures rapid stopping of the
saw chain when the chain saw is switched off.
The mechanical run-out brake prevents injuries
that could be caused by the saw chain running
on.
2.4.5 Chain interception bolt
If the saw chain breaks during sawing, the chain
interception bolt arrests the flying chain end, thus
preventing injuries to the operator’s hand.
