and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
- Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing
the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
3.5- Safety warnings regarding the use
1. Become familiar with the controls and the proper use of the tool.
2. The use of this product by children is forbidden.
Children and juveniles, except above age 16, under supervision and for educational purposes, must not operate
the chain saw, nor should persons unfamiliar with the saw or its handling (when borrowing).
Ensure operation manual is with the saw. Persons unfit or tired must not operate the chain saw
3. Only well-instructed adults should operate the product. This product is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the product by a person
responsible for their safety.
4. Use only chains with a permissible speed at least as high as the no-load speed of the tool.
5. It is recommended to use a residual current device with a tripping current of 30 mA or less.
6. Position the cord so that it will not be caught on branches and the like, during cutting.
Position the cord so that during operation, it is not tread upon, not rolled over, not in the cutting area where
saw chain could damage it.
7. It is recommended that the first-time user should, as a minimum practice, cutting logs on a saw-horse or
cradle.
8. The proper techniques for making the basic felling, limbing, and cross-cutting and examples for the required
instructions are given in Section 5.
9. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales service or a person
with similar qualification in order to avoid any danger.
If the power cable or extension cord is damaged or cut during operation, immediately disconnect plug from its
main power source. Do not touch the cable or extension cord before unplugging from main power.
10. Work may create projection of sawdust debris. Wear appropriate protective equipment (face mask, safety
goggles…).
11. Do NOT use tool on other materials than wood.
12. Do NOT use tool on frozen surfaces (e.g. ice) or rocks.
13. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the tool may contact with
hidden wires or its own power cord.
Contact with a live wire can put the metal parts of the tool under load, and could result in an electric shock to
the user
14.
Residual risks
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:
a. Electric hazard if a defective power cord or extension cord is used.
b. Risk of serious injury if you touch the chain while in use
c. Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
d. Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the power tool is being used over longer period of time
or not adequately managed and properly maintained.
15. WARNING! This machine produces an electromagnetic field during operation.
This field may under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical implants.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their
physician and the medical implant manufacturer before operating this machine.
16. WARNING! A certain level of noise emitted from this machine is not avoidable.
Plan noisy works according to local laws and at specific times.
Keep rest periods and if necessary restrict the working hours to a minimum.
For your own personal protection and the protection of bystanders have suitable hearing protection worn
during operation
17. The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may
be used for comparing one tool with another.
