source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments ,changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools.
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally .
►
Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
►
Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
►
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
►
Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for oper-
ations diff erent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
►
Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
►
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualifi ed repair person using only iden-
tical replacement parts.
This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
Electric chain saw safety warn-
ings
►
Young people under 18 years of age
and users who are not sufficiently ac-
quainted with its operation must not
use the device
►
Make sure that the device is assembled
completely and according to regula-
tions.
►
Check the device to ensure that it
works correctly, especially check the
correct and secure fi t of the chain rail,
saw chain tensioned according to regu-
lations and correct function of the chain
brake.
►
Check all screw connections regularly
to ensure tight fi t.
►
Before use, ensure that there are no
people or animals in the work area.
►
Make certain that the work area is free
of obstacles.
►
Always keep an eye on your surround-
ings in order to ensure that you are not
endangering any people or animals with
your work.
►
No other persons or animals may be
present within an area of 15 m around
the cutting area, as they may otherwise
by hit by objects being slung away.
►
Never work in poor light or weather
conditions.
►
Only saw wood. Do not use the chain
saw for work for which it is not intend-
ed.
►
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of
oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are
slippery and cause loss of control.
►
Avoid sawing in bushes, since here
small branches may get caught in the
saw chain and they can fl y out uncon-
trolled.
►
Make sure that you can stand firmly
and safely in each work position.
When
working on a sloping subsurface, be espe-
cially careful!
►
Always hold the device firmly in both
hands.
Use your right hand to grip the
rear handle, your left hand to grip the other
handle, even if you are left handed. Do not
let go of the handles!
►
When the saw is running, keep all body
parts away from the saw chain.
Make
sure before starting the saw that the saw
chain does not touch anything.
►
Never saw above shoulder height! Do
not lean forward or back!
►
Always ensure that you are standing
fi rmly and only use the chain saw when
you are standing on stable, firm and
level ground.
A slippery subsurface or
instable standing area such as on a ladder
can cause you to lose your balance or lose
control over the chain saw.
►
Do not stretch your arms too far for-
wards.
►
Never work on ladders, on trees or in
other positions in which you cannot
stand safely.
►
Take care when walking backwards.
