Never carry or suspend the chainsaw by the electrical supply cable. Do not use the

edges.
Check the extension cable and supply cable before every use and replace it if worn or
damaged. Keep the handles dry and free of oil and grease.
Remove the plug from the socket when replacing the chain or bar.
Avoid accidental starting. Do not hold your finger on the switch when carrying the
chainsaw when it is connected to the power source. Ensure that the switch is off
before inserting the plug into the socket.
Damaged switches must be replaced by an authorised service agent. Do not use the
chainsaw if the switch is faulty.
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use the unit in poor light or in damp or wet
locations. Do not use in the rain. Do not over-reach. Ensure good footing and balance

Before starting work ensure good footing.
Disconnect the plug immediately should the power cable be damaged or cut.
Never cut with the tip of the bar
