wood. The chain saw must be held with the right hand
on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle.
Before using the chain saw, the user must have read and
understood all information and instructions in the operat-
ing instructions. The user must wear appropriate person-
al protective equipment (PPE).
The chain saw is only permitted to be used to
cut wood. Materials such as plastic, stone, metal
or wood that contains foreign matter (such as nails
or screws) are not permitted to be cut.
Residual risks
Residual risks remain even if you use this tool as intend-
ed. The following hazards can occur due to this tool's
construction and design:
1. Lung damage if a suitable dust mask is not worn.
2. Hearing damage if suitable hearing protection is not
worn.
3. Cuts if suitable protective clothing is not worn.
4. Damage to health, which results from hand and arm
vibrations if the device is used for an extended period
or not operated or maintained properly.
Warning! This machine generates an electromagnetic
field when operated. This field can affect active or pas-
sive medical implants in certain circumstances. In order
to reduce the risk of severe injury or death, we recom-
mend that people with medical implants consult their
doctor or the manufacturer of the medical implant before
operating the machine.
Warning!
The prolonged utilisation of a tool will subject the user
to vibration and shocks that could lead to Raynaud's
syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome.
This condition reduces the ability of the hand to sense
and regulate temperature, causes numbness and a sen-
sation of heat and can lead to damage to the nervous
system and the circulatory system and to necrosis.
Not all factors that lead to Raynaud's syndrome are
known but cold water, smoking and illnesses that impact
the blood vessels and the circulatory system as well as
severe or long-lasting exposure to vibrations are known
to be factors in the development of Raynaud's syndrome.
Observe the following in order to reduce the risk of Ray-
naud's syndrome and Carpal tunnel syndrome:
• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
• Make sure the device is well maintained. A tool with
loose components or with damaged or worn-out
dampers will have a disposition towards increased
vibrations.
• Always hold the handle firmly but do not clutch it con-
stantly with excessive force. Take breaks often.
All of the above precautions cannot exclude the risk of
Raynaud's syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome. There-
fore, with long-term or regular use it is advisable to keep

a close watch on the condition of your hands and fingers.
Seek medical attention immediately in the event of any of
the above symptoms appearing.
