WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains operated (corded) power tool.
It is recommended that the first time user should have
practical instruction in the use of the chainsaw and the
protective equipment from an experienced operator and
that the initial practice should be cutting logs on a saw
horse or cradle.
Explanation of symbols:
Read instruction manual.
Do not expose to rain.
Remove the plug from the socket or mains im-
mediately before carrying out any adjustments,
servicing or maintenance or if the cable is dam-
aged or cut.
Obtain and wear eye and ear protection at all
times while operating the power tool.
The kick back brake and the run down
brake stop the chain saw within short
time.
Work area
■ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
■ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■ Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
■ Children and juveniles, except above age 16, un-
der supervision and for educational purposes,
must not operate the chain saw, nor should per-
sons unfamiliar with the saw or its handling
(when borrowing). Ensure operation manual is with
the saw. Persons unfit or tired must not operate the
chain saw.
Electrical safety
■ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will re-
duce risk of electric shock.
■ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
■ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
■ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
■ When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
■ If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
Personal safety
■ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
■ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
■ Prevent accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
in power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
■ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
■ If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
■ Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
■ Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
■ Disconnect the plug from the power source be-
fore making any adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
