kickback 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.
 Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth
gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

Vibrations

Hand arm vibration front/rear a
Measuring uncertainty 1.5 m/s²
The indicated vibration emission level has been measured
according to a standardised test method and can be used to
compare power tools.
It can also be used for an initial estimate of the vibration
exposure.
The actual vibration emission level during the use of the
machine may differ from that indicated in the operating
instructions or indicated by the manufacturer.
This may be caused by the following factors to be minded
before and during the use:
 Proper use of the machine
 Correct cutting or machining of material
 Proper condition of the machine for use
 Use of the correct and sharp cutting tool
 Handles and optional anti-vibration handles properly
mounted on the machine body
When you feel uncomfortable or notice discoloration of skin on
your hands during the use of the machine, stop working
immediately. Observe sufficient break times to rest. Failure to
have sufficient break times may result in a hand-arm vibration
syndrome.
The extent of exposure depending on the type of work or
machine use should be estimated and appropriate breaks
taken. In this way, the extent of exposure can be considerably
reduced over the entire work time. Minimise the risk caused by
vibrations. Maintain this machine according to the instructions
in the manual. If you intend to use this machine frequently,
contact your local authorised dealer and purchase anti-vibration
accessories if required. Avoid the use of this machine at
temperatures under 10°C. Create a work schedule in order to
minimise vibration exposure.
