2.3 Residual risks
Even during correct use of the appliance, there is

cluded. Depending on the use, the following po-
tential risks can be derived from the type and
construction of the appliance:

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 Overload protection
If the user pushes the pruning saw too hard
through the wood while sawing, it switches off.
This prevents the motor from being overloaded.
2.4.2 Foldable chain cover
The chain cover protects the operator from the
moving saw chain. When the chain cover rests
on the wood during sawing, it yields automatical-
ly.
WARNING! Danger due to saw chain. The
running saw chain can lead to life-threatening in-
juries.

Only operate the chain saw with a functioning
chain cover!
