If you use the petrol chainsaw for lengthy periods of time, you may suffer circulation problems
caused by vibrations (white finger disease) and noise.
It is not possible to provide precise details on the duration of use in each case since it may differ
from person to person. The following factors may effect this phenomenon: Circulation problems
in the hands of the user, low outdoor temperatures and lengthy periods of use. We therefore
recommend that you wear warm work gloves / ear protector and take regular breaks.
The lubrication oil mist, exhaust gases and saw dust will be created during working, to reduce your
exposure to them: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles and mist.
Appliances with incorrect or missing parts or without a security case are not to be operated. The
service center provides you with information concerning replacement parts.
