SAFETY REGULATIONS

Intended use/unintended use
The chain saw may only be used by skilled
workers and was developed to cut the treetops of
standard tall trees, bushes, trunks/logs or wooden
beams, whose diameter depends on the length
of the bar. It may only be used to cut wood.
Any other type of use is not permissible. IN AD-
DITION, THE CHAIN SAW MAY ONLY BE USED
BY QUALIFIED SKILLED WORKERS FOR TREE
MAINTENANCE.
When using the chain saw, the worker is respon-
sible for ensuring use of safety equipment in line
with the instructions in the manual and the sym-
bols on the chain saw. In addition, the safety in-
structions in the manual and the information on
use and maintenance are an important part of
the instructions for use. Any person operating the
chain saw or performing saw maintenance must
be familiar with the manual. It is only permissible
to use original spare parts or those approved by
the manufacturer (bar, chain, spark plug) and the
approved bar/chain combinations that are speci-
fied in the manual. Responsibility for any type of
accident due to the unintended use and/or an un-
approved change to the structure of the chain saw
lies with the user and not with the manufacturer.
This chain saw may only be used in the open.
Residual risks
Even if the chain saw is used as instructed, a re-
sidual risk remains that cannot be eliminated. De-
pending on the type and structure of the chain
saw, the following potential risks exist:
Contact with the exposed teeth of the chain
(risk of cutting)
Access to the moving chain (risk of cutting)
Sudden and unexpected movement of the
bar (risk of cutting)
Detachment of parts of the chain (risk of cut-
ting/injury)
Detachment of parts of the wood being
worked on
Inhalation of particles of the wood being
worked on, emissions from the petrol engine
Contact of the skin with fuel (petrol/oil)
Impairment of hearing during work if ear de-
fenders are not used
