spring back so that you will not be struck when the tension
is released.
Avoid cutting:
Prepared timber.
Into the ground.
Into wire fences, nails. etc.
Into small sized brush and saplings because slender
material may catch the saw chain and be whipped towards
you, or pull you off balance.
Do not use your chainsaw above shoulder height.
Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in case
of an accident.
If for any reason you have to touch the saw chain, make
sure your chainsaw is disconnected from the mains.
The noise from this product can exceed 80 dB(A). We

Residual risks
Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which
may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These
risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include:
Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or ac-
cessories.
Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using
any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular
breaks.
Impairment of hearing.
Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
using your tool (example:- working with wood, especially
oak, beech and MDF.)
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values and the declared noise
emission value(s) stated in the technical data and the declara-
tion of conformity have been measured in accordance with a
standard test method provided by EN 62841 and may be used
for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration
emission value and the declared noise emission value(s) may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration and noise 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.
