● Stop the product and disconnect the power cord before
you do maintenance of the product.
● Let an approved service center do the repair of the
product. The warranty will be invalidated if the product is
modified in any way, damaged as a result of an accident,
negligence or incorrect use, or if it has been repaired by
unauthorized personnel.
● Only use spare parts recommended by the manufacturer.
Install the spare parts according to the instructions of the
manufacturer.
● Follow the instructions for lubrication, tensioning the
chain, and replacing accessories. The wrong tension
and/or lubrication of the chain can result in a risk of the
chain breaking and/or kickback.
2.13 Vibration safety
Warning! If you do not obey these instructions, there
is a risk of death or injury.
●
There is a risk of personal injury as a result of vibration
during prolonged and/or incorrect use.
● The actual vibration level when using power tools may
differ from the specified maximum value, depending on
how the tool is used. It is therefore necessary to
determine which safety precautions are required to
protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in
actual operating conditions (taking into account all
stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is
switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the
start-up time).
● During prolonged use vibrations are suspected to cause
circulation problems in the hands and arms, or Raynaud’s
syndrome (white fingers). Stop working immediately and
seek medical attention if you experience numbness,
itching, tingling or pain, or if your skin changes colour.
Limit the risk of injuries as a result of vibrations by
maintaining the tool correctly, keeping your hands warm
and taking breaks.
2.14 Remaining risks
Even if appropriate safety regulations are adhered to and
safety devices are used, it is not possible to eliminate all
risks. The following risks remain:
● Vibration injuries (if the product is used for long periods,
or is not handled and maintained correctly).
● Personal injury and/or material damage as a result of
defective accessories, or kickback from concealed
objects.
● Personal injury and/or material damage as a result of
falling or ejected objects.
● During prolonged use the vibrations can cause
circulation problems in the hands. Keep your body and
especially your hands warm. Wear gloves. Stop working
immediately and seek medical attention if you experience
numbness, itching, tingling, pain, if your skin changes
colour, or loss of sensitivity in your fingers, hands or
wrists. You are more at risk at low temperatures.
