the operator should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
• Injury caused by vibration
Always use the right tool for the job. Use designated
handles. Restrict working time and exposure.
• Damage to hearing due to exposure to noise
Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.
• Injury caused by contact with exposed saw teeth of the
chain
• Injury caused by thrown-out pieces of the workpiece
(wood chips, splinters)
• Injury caused by dust and particles
• Injury to the skin caused by contact with lubricants
• Parts ejected from the saw chain (cutting/injection
hazards)
• Unforeseen, abrupt movement, or kickback of the guide
bar (cutting hazards)"
Risk Reduction
• It has been reported that vibrations from handheld
tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may inclu-
de tingling, numbness, and blanching of the fingers,
usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary
factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

Always lightly oil the chain when storing to prevent rust. Always empty the oil tank when storing to prevent leakage.
Stop the machine, remove the battery, and allow it to cool before storing or transporting.
Clean all foreign materials from the machine. Store the machine in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place that is inacces-
sible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents, such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts. Do not store outdoors.
Fit the guide bar cover before storing the machine or during transportation.
For transportation in vehicles, secure the machine against movement or falling to prevent injury to persons or damage
to the machine.
CAUTION
Hearing damage
A longer stay in the immediate vicinity of the
running unit may cause hearing damage. Wear ear
protectors.
When working with the device, a certain level of noise
cannot be avoided. Noisy work should be scheduled
for hours, during which it is allowed by statute or other
local regulations. Adhere to any applicable rest times
and limit your working time to the necessary minimum
time. For your personal protection and the protection
of people nearby, suitable hearing protection must be
worn.
and work practices are all thought to contribute to the
development of these symptoms. There are measures
that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce
the effects of vibration:
• Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm.
• After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
• Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of expo-
sure per day.
• Protective gloves available from professional chain saw
retailers are designed specifically for chain saw use
which give protection, good grip and also reduce the
effect of handle vibration. These gloves should comply
with EN 381-7 and must be CE marked.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for
prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
