accidental contact with the tip of the rail and offers better control over the chainsaw in
unexpected situations.
•
Always use the correct replacement rails and saw chains recommended by the
manufacturer. The use of incorrect replacement rails or saw chains may result in
breakage of the chain and/or kickback.
•
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for sharpening and maintaining the saw chain.
The risk of kickback is increased if the depth limiter is set too low.
More important information:
•
Use an earth-leakage circuit breaker with a trip current of 30 mA or less.
•
Position the power cable such that it cannot be caught by branches or the like during
sawing.
•
We recommend that first-time users should at least practice cutting round wood (logs)
on a sawing trestle or similar.
Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance to instructions, certain residual
risks cannot be eliminated. The following hazards may arise in connection with the
equipment's construction and layout:
•
Cut injuries if no safety clothing is used.
•
Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is applied.
•
Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is applied.
•
Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a longer
period or is not properly guided and maintained.
Warning!
The electric power tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. Under certain
circumstances this field may actively or passively impede medical implants. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injuries, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their
doctor and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to using the equipment.

The chainsaw is intended for felling trees and for cutting trunks, branches, wooden beams,
boards etc. and can be used for cross cuts and longitudinal cuts. It is not suitable for cutting
any materials other than wood. Please note that our devices have not been designed for use
in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Consequently, the guarantee will be
invalidated if the equipment is used in commercial, trade or industrial applications or for other
equivalent activities.
7. ASSEMBLY
Caution: Do not connect the chainsaw to the power supply until it has been fully assembled
and the chain tension has been adjusted. Always wear protective gloves when working on the
chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.
