ENGLISH
Only use replacement guide bars and chains specified
u
by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide bars
and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and mainte-
u
nance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the
depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
Striking metal, cement or any other hard material near the
u
wood, or buried in the wood can cause kickback.
A dull or loose chain can cause kickback.
u
Do not try to insert into a previous cut. As this could cause
u
kickback. Make a fresh cut every time.
Safety recommendations for the chainsaw
We strongly recommend that first time users obtain practi-
u
cal instruction in the use of the chainsaw and protective
equipment from an experienced user. Initial practice
should be completed sawing logs on a saw horse or
cradle.
Maintain your chainsaw when not in use. Do not store
u
your chainsaw for any length of time without first remov-
ing the saw chain and guide bar which should be kept
immersed in oil. Store all parts of your chainsaw in a dry,
secure place out of reach of children.
We recommend you drain the oil reservoir prior to storage.
u
Be sure of your footing and pre-plan a safe exit from a
u
falling tree or branches.
Use wedges to help control felling and prevent binding the
u
guide bar and saw chain in the cut.
Saw chain care. Keep the saw chain sharp and snug on
u
the guide bar. Ensure the saw chain and guide bar are
clean and well oiled. Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.

Additional safety instructions
Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in case
u
of an accident.
If for any reason you have to touch the saw chain, make
u
sure your chainsaw is disconnected from the mains.
The noise from this product can exceed 85 dB(A). We
u
therefore recommend you take appropriate measures for
the protection of hearing.
When handling the product the chain bar may become

Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured
in accordance with a standard test method provided by
EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with
another. The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may
increase above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration
exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the
way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time.
