RESIDUAL RISKS

Despite the above warnings and due to the nature of the product, there remains
a residual risk, which cannot be prevented when using this unit. The following
potential hazards might apply:

• Contact with exposed saw teeth of the saw chain (cutting hazards).

• Access to the rotating saw chain (cutting hazards).

• Unforeseen, abrupt movement of the guide bar (cutting hazards.)

• Parts flung out from the saw chain (cutting/injection hazards).

• Wood splinter ejection.

• Inhalation of wood particles and dust - there may be health risks caused by

breathing in dust, especially dust generated from sawing oak, beech and MDF.

• Skin contact with the lubricating oil.

• Loss of hearing, if ear protection is not worn.

INTENDED/UNINTENDED USE

When using the unit, the user must arrange to use personal protective
equipment according to the instructions. Parts of the intended use are detailed in
the instructions safety warnings and references for use by those who work with
the chain saw or maintain it, therefore the user must be familiar with the
instructions. Only use original or approved spare parts (e.g. guide bar; saw
chain).

Vibration Warning!

Prolonged use of chainsaws or any other machine that vibrates in use, may
produce a medical condition called “white finger disease”, “Raynaud’s
phenomenon”, or “carpal tunnel syndrome”. These conditions can cause
numbness, burning sensations and circulation damage, and may reduce the
hand’s ability to feel and regulate temperature.

The factors that contribute to these conditions are not fully known, but high
vibrations may be a cause. 

Users should take precautions to minimise the risks which include:

• Wear gloves

• Keep hands warm

• Take breaks from prolonged use

• Keep the chainsaw sharp so that it operates as smoothly as possible

• Maintain a firm grip but do not squeeze too tight and for too long at any one

time. Continual and regular users should monitor their hands and fingers and if
any symptoms occur, or if you are worried at any time, cease use and consult
your medical practitioner for further advice.

Warning! Restriction of use.

Please check with your local authority before using a chainsaw as there may be
regulations in force that restrict their use e.g. in times of drought, or noise
restrictions.

Warning! Hearing protection.

It is recommended that safety ear/hearing protection is worn at all times when
operating this unit. Engine noise may damage your hearing. Regular users should
have frequent hearing tests with their medical practitioner. The hearing
protection should be suitable for defending hearing for the following levels:

Sound pressure level according to ISO22868 LPA:108dB(A).

Sound pressure level according to ISO22868 LWA: <116dB(A)

Exposure to noise may cause hearing impairment, interfere with communication,
disturb sleep, cause cardiovascular and pyscho-physiological effects. It is
recommended to use the chainsaw for short periods, and include rest periods in
your work plan. Always use hearing protection.

Inhalation Warning! 

Using the unit may generate dust, mist and fumes containing chemicals that
could be harmful to the user. Dust alone may also be harmful and should not be
inhaled. Never use the unit to cut anything that is known to contain a harmful
substance such as asbestos. Always operate the unit in a well-ventilated location,
preferably outdoors. Remember that the oil used to lubricate this machine may
give off harmful fumes in use, and when filling – always ensure there is sufficient
ventilation as soon as you start the engine. A dust mask or breathing apparatus
is recommended safety equipment, and anyone with a respiratory or other
breathing medical condition is advised to consult their medical practitioner
before using the chainsaw.
