tool. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts..
• If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached and
used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
2.4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to do. A power
tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who are not familiar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature that might
affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused
by using poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work which needs
to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.
2.5 SERVICE
Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will
ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
a) Use only the manufacturer’s recommended replacement parts and accessories.
b) Inspect and maintain the machine regularly. Have the machine repaired only by an authorized repairer.
c) When not in use, store the machine out of the reach of children.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHAINSAW
• Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating. Before you start the chain saw,
make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating chain saws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
• Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Holding
the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the risk of personal injury and should never be done.
• Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the saw chain may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and could give the operator an
