8.7 Service
The power tool must only be serviced by qualied personnel using identical spare parts. This will ensure that the
power tool remains safe to use.
8.8 Special safety instructions
Keep your hands and the rest of your body away from the chain when the power tool is running. Check that the
chain is not touching the ground or an object when starting the product. A moment of inattention or carelessness
can result in serious personal injury.
Hold the back handle in your right hand and the front handle in your left hand, even if you are left-handed. Never
hold the product in any other way – risk of personal injury.
Hold the power tool by the insulated grips when working in areas where it may come into contact with concealed
electrical cables or its own power cord. Contact with a live cable will cause the metal parts on the product to also
become live – risk of electric shock.
Wear safety glasses and ear protection. A safety helmet with visor, safety gloves and non-slip safety shoes with
protection for the lower part of the leg are recommended. The proper protective equipment reduces the risk of
personal injury in the event of contact with the chain or ejected material.
Never use the power tool from a ladder, tree or other unstable place. This could cause you to lose your balance
or lose control of the tool.
Branches under tension can spring away when they are cut and cause personal injury and/or cause you to lose
control of the power tool.
Be careful when sawing bushes. The thin stems can fasten in the chain and hit you or cause you to lose your
balance.
Switch off the power tool before moving. Carry the power tool with the front handle and with the bar pointing away
from your body. Transport and store the power tool with the supplied guard tted. Using the appliance properly
reduces the risk of coming into contact with the chain.
Follow the instructions for lubrication, tensioning the chain, and replacing accessories. The wrong tension and/or
lubrication of the chain can result in a risk of the chain breaking and/or kickback.
Keep the handles clean, dry and free from oil and grease. Greasy handles make it difcult to hold the power tool
– risk of personal injury and/or material damage.
Only use the power tool to saw wood. Use the power tool only for its intended purpose. Do not attempt to saw
plastic, bricks or building materials not made of wood. Incorrect use can result in the risk of personal injury and/
or material damage.
