Warning: The vibration emission value may differ
during actual use of the power tool from the
stated value depending on the manner in which
the power tool is used.
Try to keep the exposure to vibrations as low
as possible. Examples of measures to reduce
vibration exposure are the wearing of gloves when
using the tool and limiting the working hours. All
parts of the operating cycle are to be taken into
account in this (for example times in which the
electric tool is turned off and those in which even
though it is turned on, it is not running under a load)
Beware of kickback! Be careful of
kickback of the machine during work.
There is danger of injury here. You can
avoid kickbacks by exercising caution
and using a correct sawing technique.

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut (cf. fi
g 1/image B). Tip contact in some cases may cause
a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up
and back towards the operator (fig. 1/image A).
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards
the operator.
Each of these reactions can lead to you losing
control of the saw and potentially being seriously
injured. Do not rely exclusively on the safety
