Keep your saw chain properly tensioned. Check tension
at regular intervals with the motor stopped and cord
disconnected.
Begin and continue cutting only with the chain moving at
full speed.
Watch for shifting branches or other forces that could
close a cut and pinch or fall into the chain.
Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut.
Engage spikes on lower jaw into wood and allow the
chain to reach full speed before proceeding with cut.
Use of this tool for operation different to those intended
could result in hazardous situations. Cut wood only.
Don't use this tool for purposes not intended - for
example - Don't use tool for cutting plastic, masonry or
non wood building materials.
If any debris gets caught with the guard or tool
discontinue use, remove the battery and clear debris.
Worn chains and chain guide bars should be replaced.
Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer.
Safety of others
This appliance 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 the use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the
technical data and the declaration of conformity have been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
provided by EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one
tool with another. The declared vibration emission value may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may
increase above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons
regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of
vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of
use and the way the tool is used, including taking account of
all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the
tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time.
Labels on tools
Warning! To reduce the risk of injury, the user
must read the instruction manual.
Do not use your saw in wet conditions or
expose it to rain.
Always wear head, hearing and eye protection.
Beware of falling objects.
Keep bystanders away.
Do not use on ladders.
Check the chain tension after every 10 minutes
of use. Adjust back to a clearance of 3 mm.
Oil the chain after every 10 minutes of use.
Warning! Do not touch chain at the chipping
ejection point.
Direction of travel of the chain.
Residual risk
Despite the application of the relevant safety regulations and
the implementation of safety measures, certain residual risks
are inherent to the use of wood cutting saws and cannot be
avoided. These are:
Risk of injury arising from contact with moving parts,
sharp parts, hot parts, branches or debris falling on the
operator, bystanders or property, debris ejected by the
tool.
Risk of injury arising from un-intended use, falling from
a ladder or working position in a tree, damage to the
supply cable, use of the tool in wet or hazardous
locations, use of the product by young children or infirm
persons, failure to wear suitable personal protection or
suitable clothing, breathing dust generated from cutting
wood.
The above risks have been addressed by including warnings
in the safety instructions and/or markings applied to the tool.
