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.

„Power tool use and care"
Switch off the device, wait until the saw chain has stopped
and remove the battery:
Contact of chain saw with soil, stones, nails or other
foreign substances
Check immediately chain and guide bar.
Carrying out repair work.
Performing maintenance and cleaning work.
Eliminating faults.
Transport.
Clamping again the chain.
Chain change.
Leaving of machine (also for short-term interruption).
Check the machine for possible damage:
Before further use of the machine the safety devices
must be checked carefully for their proper and intended
function. Only operate the machine with complete and
correctly attached safety equipment and do not alter
anything on the machine that could impair the safety.
Check whether movable parts function perfectly and do
not stick or whether parts are damaged. All parts must
be correctly installed and fulfil all conditions to ensure
perfect operation of the machine.
Damaged safety devices and parts must be properly
repaired or exchanged by a recognized, specialist
workshop; insofar as nothing else is stated in the
instructions for use.
Damaged or illegible safety labels have to be replaced.
Store unused devices in a dry, locked place.
Do not carry out repair operations on the machine other
than those described in section "Maintenance" but contact the
manufacturer or authorized customer service centers.
Use only original spare. Accidents can arise for the user
through the use of other spare parts. The manufacturer is not
liable for any damage or injury resulting from such action.
Refer to the enclosed brochure "General safety
instructions for battery-powered tools" for additional safety
notices.
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.
