GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
12 – English
Electrical safety
• It is recommended that you use a Residual Current
Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than
30mA. Even with a RCD installed 100% safety cannot
be guaranteed and safe working practice must be
followed at all times. Check your RCD every time you
use it.
• Before use, examine the cable for signs of damage or
ageing. If the cable is found to be defective, take the
product to an Authorized Service Center and have the
cable replaced.
• Do not use the product if the electric cables are
damaged or worn.
• Immediately disconnect from the mains electricity
supply if the cable is cut, or the insulation is damaged.
Do not touch the electric cable until the electrical
supply has been disconnected. Do not repair a cut or
damaged cable. Take the product to an Authorised
Service Centre and have the cable replaced with a
genuine spare cable.
• Always make sure that the cable/extension cord is
kept behind the user, ensuring that it does not create
a source of danger for the user or for other persons,
and check that it cannot be damaged (by heat, sharp
objects, sharp edges, oil, etc);
• Position the cable so that it will not be caught on
branches and the like, during cutting.
• Always switch off at the mains before disconnecting
any plug, cable connector or extension cable.
• Switch off, remove plug from the mains and examine
electric cable for damage or ageing before winding
cable for storage. Do not repair a damaged cable.
Take the product to an Authorised Service Centre and
have the cable replaced.
• Remove the plug from the mains before leaving the
product unattended for any period.
• Always wind cable carefully, avoiding kinking.
• Use only on AC mains voltage shown on the product
rating label.
• The chainsaw is double insulated to EN60745-1 & 2-
13.
• Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. Inspect extension cord before use and
replace if damaged. Do not use a damaged cord.
Cord insulation must be intact with no cracks or
deterioration. Plug connectors must be undamaged.
Damaged extension cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
• Residual Current Device (RCD) protection should
be provided on circuit or outlet to be used.
Receptacles are available having built-in RCD
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
Inspect chain saw cords periodically and if damaged,
have repaired by an authorized service dealer.
Cables
• Extension cables are available from your local
Approved Service Centre.
• Only use approved extension cables.
• Extension cables and leads should only be used if
they are designed for outdoor use and comply with
H07 RN-F or IEC 60245 designation 66.
Before using a new chain saw
• Please read this manual carefully.
• Fill with chain oil. See instructions under the heading
Filling with chain oil.
• Do not use the chain saw until sufficient chain oil has
reached the chain. See instructions under the
heading Lubricating cutting equipment.
• Check that the cutting equipment is correctly fitted
and adjusted. See instructions under the heading
Assembly.
• Long-term exposure to noise can result in permanent
hearing impairment. So always use approved hearing
protection.
• This saw is intended for use between the
temperatures of -20 ° C (-4 ° F) and +40°C (104°F).
