–
Keep the handles dry and clean –
free from oil and resin – for safe
control of the power tool.
–
Make sure the motor housing is not
damaged.
To reduce the risk of accidents and
personal injury, do not operate your
power tool if it is not properly assembled
and in good condition.
The connecting cord, mains plug and
switch are particularly important. Never
use damaged cords and plugs or
connecting cords that do not comply with
regulations.
When you use an extension cord, make
sure the plug and coupling are
waterproof or positioned in such a way
that they cannot come into contact with
water.
The wall outlet must be equipped with a
ground-fault circuit breaker or such a
device must be installed between the
wall outlet and the power tool. Contact
an electrician for further information.
Do not drive over, squash or jerk the
connecting cord. Protect it from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
Make sure that the conductor cross
section (wire gauge) of extension cords
meets the minimum requirements – see
chapter on "Connecting to Power
Supply".
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
–
Always connect the power tool to a
properly installed wall outlet.
–
Make sure the extension cord used
complies with the regulations for the
intended application.
–
Check that the insulation of the
power cord, extension cord, plug
and coupling is in good condition.
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold your power tool firmly with
both hands: Right hand on the rear
handle, left hand on front handle, even if
you are left-handed.
During Operation
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
In case of imminent danger or in an
emergency, release the trigger switch
immediately.
Your power tool is designed to be
operated by one person only. Do not
allow other persons in the work area.
Position the connecting and extension
cords correctly:
–
Do not chafe on edges, pointed or
sharp objects
–
Do not squeeze through gaps in
doors or windows
–
If cords are twisted – unplug the
power tool and straighten them out
–
Always unwind the extension cord
completely from the cable drum to
reduce the risk of fire from
overheating.
–
The extension cord must always be
behind you. To reduce the risk of
stumbling, position and mark the
cord so that it cannot be damaged
or endanger others.
–
Keep the connecting cord so that it
cannot be touched by the rotating
chain.
When switching on, check that the chain
is not touching any object or the ground.
Do not leave you power tool out in the
rain and do not operate it as long as it is
damp.
Take special care in slippery conditions
– damp, snow, ice, on slopes, uneven
ground and freshly debarked logs.
Watch out for obstacles such as tree
stumps, roots and ditches which could
cause you to trip or stumble.
If the connecting cord is
damaged, immediately
disconnect the plug from
the power supply to avoid
the risk of electric shock.
001BA094 LA
The drive motor is not
waterproof. To reduce
the risk of a short circuit
or electrocution, never
work with the power tool
in the rain or in wet or
very damp locations.
