Residual risks
Even if properly operating and handling
this electric tool, some residual risks will
remain. Due to its construction and build,
this electric tool may present the following
hazards:
a) Cuts
b) Ear damage if working without ear pro-
tection.
c) Damage to your health caused by
swinging your hands and arms when
operating the appliance for longer pe-
riods of time or if the unit is not held or
maintained properly.
Warning! During operation, this
electric tool generates an electro-
magnetic fi eld which, under certain
circumstances, may impair the func-
tionality of active or passive medical
implants. To reduce the risk of seri-
ous or lethal injuries, we recommend
that persons with medical implants
consult their doctor and the manu-
facturer of their medical implant
before operating the machine.
Observe the safety information and
notes on charging and proper use
as shown in the instruction manual
for your battery and charger from
the Parkside X 20 V Team series. A
a)
Maintain a fi rm grip, with
thumbs and fi ngers encircling the
chain saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position
your body and arm to allow you
to resist kickback forces.
Kickback
forces can be controlled by the operator,
if proper precautions are taken. Do not
let go of the chain saw.
b)
Do not overreach and do not cut
above shoulder height.
This helps
prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain saw
in unexpected situations.
c)
Only use replacement bars and
chains specifi ed by the manu-
facturer.
Incorrect replacement bars
and chains may cause chain breakage
and/or kickback.
d)
Follow the manufacturer´s
sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can
lead to increased kickback.
