The appliance must not be used to cut hedges,
hard branches and wood or to crush material for
compost.

Thrown-off stones or soil may lead to
injuries.
Carry the lawn trimmer with the handle, with the
blade being off (idle). Careful treatment with the

Safety Instructions Branch chain
saw attachment
Keep all parts of your body in safe distance from
the saw when running. Before starting the saw,
make sure the saw chain does not touch anything.
A moment of inattention when working with the
chainsaw is able to cause the saw chain to catch your
clothes or parts of your body.
Wear protective glasses and ear protectors.
Further, wearing head, hand and leg protection
equipment is recommended. Suitable protective
clothing minimises the risk of injury by thrown-away
wood chips and possible contact with the saw chain.
Provide safe posture at all times and use the
chainsaw only when standing on a solid, safe and
level surface. A slippery or unstable surface, such as
ladder, may lead to loss of balance or loss of control over
the chainsaw.
Do not work on trees with the chainsaw. There is a
risk of injury when working on a tree.
Electrical hazard , keep at least 10 m distance away
from electrical power lines.
As soon as a branch being cut off starts cracking and
falling down, move to the side immediately and keep
safe distance from the falling wood as it can hurl back
up and cause injuries.
Immediately remove cut branches/knots from the
work area to prevent injuries. Watch out for falling
branches!
When cutting a tense branch, be sure to know
that the branch will bounce back. If tension in the
wood fibres gets released, the tense branch may hit
the operator and/or cause a loss of control over the
chainsaw.
Be especially careful when cutting scrubs and
saplings. Thin material may get caught in the chainsaw
and hit you or you may lose your balance.
Carry the chainsaw by the front handle in a
switched-off condition and the saw chain must be
deflected from your body. Fit a protection cover
on the chainsaw whenever it is transported or sto-
red. Careful chainsaw treatment reduces the likelihood
of an accidental contact with the running saw chain.
After each use, clean the saw and sword chain careful-
ly. Wipe it with a cloth moistened in oil or apply metal
treatment spray on it.
Blunt, bent or damaged chains and swords must be
replaced.
Cleaned chain saw store safely in dry room - out of
children reach.
