Do NOT
operate chainsaw when you are tired, ill
or under the influence of alchol or drugs.
• Using a chainsaw can be strenuous. Remember to
take regular breaks. Tiredness may result in loss of
control.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the chain
when the chainsaw is switched on.
• Before you start the saw, make sure the saw chain
is not in contact with anything.
• Always check for damaged parts before first and
every use or if the chainsaw is dropped.
Do NOT
use if any part is damaged in any way. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
conditions that may affect operation. Any part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorised service centre unless otherwise
indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.
• Regularly check that all the fixings are secure as
vibrations in use may cause them to loosen over
time.
• When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts.
•
Do NOT
use the chainsaw if the switch does not
turn it on and off.
•
Do NOT
operate a chainsaw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or is not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain
stops moving when the trigger is released before
using to cut wood.
• Guard against kickback.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by
the manufacturer or the equivalent.
• For outdoor domestic use only.
Warning
!
RESIDUAL RISKS
Despite the above warnings and due to the nature of
the product, there remains a residual risk, which
cannot be prevented when using a chainsaw. The
following potential hazards might apply:
• Contact with exposed saw teeth of the saw chain
(cutting hazards).
• Access to the rotating saw chain (cutting hazards).
• Unforeseen, abrupt movement of the guide bar
(cutting hazards.)
• Parts flung out from the saw chain (cutting/injection
hazards).
• Wood splinter ejection.
• Inhalation of wood particles and dust - there may
be health risks caused by breathing in dust,
especially dust generated from sawing oak, beech
and MDF.
• Skin contact with the lubricating oil.
• Loss of hearing, if ear protection is not worn.
INTENDED/UNINTENDED USE
When using the chainsaw, the user must arrange to
use personal protective equipment according to the
manual. Parts of the intended use are detailed in the
manual’s safety warnings and references for use by
those who work with the chain saw or maintain it,
therefore the user must be familiar with the manual.
Only use original or approved spare parts (e.g. guide
bar; saw chain).
