must commission a specialist electrotech
nical workshop to perform this work.
–
We recommend using a residual current
device with a tripping current of 30 mA or
less.
–
Only the permitted and appropriately
marked extension cables must be used
outdoors. The extension cable must be
checked regularly and replaced immedi
ately in the event of damage.
–
Be aware of environmental factors. Do not
leave the power tool out in the rain and do
not use it in a humid or wet environment.
Ensure the work area is well lit and do not
use the power tool near flammable liquids
and gases. When warm, the power tool
must not be put down where it could catch
fire and it must be kept clean.
–
Regularly check the movable supply line
and, in the event of damage, have it re
placed in a specialist workshop. Do not use
the movable supply line to carry the power
tool or to pull the plug out of the socket.
The cable must be protected from high
temperatures, oil and movement over
sharp edges.
–
Before using the power tool, always check
all guards, elements and moving parts. All
parts must be attached correctly and all
conditions for correct operation of the pow
er tool must be met. Damaged guards and
elements must be repaired or replaced
properly in an authorised workshop. Dam
aged switches must be replaced by an au
thorised workshop. Do not use the power
tool if the switches cannot be switched on
or off.
–
Prevent the switch from jamming in the ON
position.
–
Take good care of the tools. Using sharp
and clean tools is the only way to work
more effectively and safely. Defective, blunt
tools or tools with unsuitable dimensions
must not be used. Note the instructions for
tool maintenance and tool replacement.
–
Never use blunt or damaged chains. Using
blunt or incorrectly set chains results in a
higher load, which can destroy the power
tool and subsequently cause injuries.
–
Only use accessories or special accesso
ries that are recommended by the manu
facturer.
The guard plate must not be removed or
–
modified.

–
The guard plate is an integral part of the
power tool. You must not adapt, shorten or
remove it. Ensure that it is at the level of
the guide strip, that the chain tension is
correct and that it does not touch the guard
plate. The minimum distance between the
chain and the guard plate is 5 mm.
–
For the guard plate to work, it must be
positioned in the cut groove. The guard
plate does not prevent kickback when saw
ing saw cuts.
–
If the guard plate is bent, do not use the
saw.
–
As a general rule, the guards and protec
tive devices must not be removed and they
must not be prevented from working prop
erly.
–
Only ever use chain saw bars, chains and
chain sprockets that have been recom
mended by the manufacturer. The chain
saw bar must always be properly secured.
–
Chains with teeth for stationary power tools
must not be used.
–
Do not saw workpieces that are too large or
too small for the power tool.
–
Plunge cuts are not possible at all as the
guard plate assembly does not allow them.
Removing the guard plate is prohibited.
–
Making a groove or recess (plunging) into
solid, sealed surfaces with the tool running
is prohibited. Risk of injury from power tool
kickback!
–
When the power tool is not being used or
when the tool is being repaired or replaced,
pull the plug of the movable supply line out
of the socket.
Safe working
Before starting
–
Ensure your work area is tidy. An untidy
work area can cause accidents at work.
–
Always lay the movable supply line in such
a way that it cannot be caught by the tool
and does not pose an additional hazard,
e.g. tripping.
–
When operating the power tool in an en
closed space, ensure sufficient ventilation
or use a dust extraction system. Do not saw
hazardous materials, such as asbestos.
–
Before you start work, check the lubricat
ing oil level and that the lubrication system
is working properly.
–
Check that the original chain sprocket cov
er is complete. If the original chain sprock
