forces. Kickback forces can be controlled
by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent unintended
tip contact and enables better control
of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
It is recommended for increased electrical
safety to use a Residual Current Device (RCD)
with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA.
Always check your RCD every time you use it.
Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead
to increased kickback.
Children and juveniles, with the exception of
apprentices older than 16 years and under
supervision, may not operate the chain saw. The
same applies for persons who do not or do
not sufficiently know how to handle the chain
saw. The operating instructions should always
be ready to hand. Persons unfit or tired must
not operate the chain saw.
Always ensure all handles and guards are
fitted when using the machine. Never attempt
to use an incomplete machine or one fitted with an
unauthorized modification.
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. The initial practice
should be cutting logs on a saw horse or cradle.
Always wait until the machine has come to
a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
Do not touch the damaged cable and
pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged
while working. Damaged cables increase
the risk of an electric shock.
The power cable must always be behind the saw
operator.
The power cable must always lead away from the
rear of the chainsaw.
