Safety of persons

protective helmet, face protection, hearing protection, protective
clothing, resistant to cuts, and protective gloves. This reduces the

risk of injury.

Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get stuck in moving parts.
·Always use hearing protection. The noise generated by the tool can
cause hearing damage.
·If you often work with the tool, your doctor will often need to check
your hearing.
·If you wear hearing protection, you will no longer be aware of the
noise so clearly. Therefore, pay more attention to visual stimuli.
·Always wear safety glasses or safety helmet with a visor to protect
yourself from flying cut material.
·An electrical ignition device on the tool creates a small
electromagnetic field. If you have a pacemaker or similar implant,
consult your doctor before using the tool to reduce the risk to health.
·The exhaust sound attenuator on the front of the tool becomes very
hot during operation and remains hot even after switching off the
engine. Do not touch this area as there is a risk of burns!
·Make sure that children do not play with the packaging foil. They
can become entangled and suffocate when playing.
Requirements for the work area
·Do not use chain saws in indoors or in poorly illuminated areas. The
exhaust gases of the engine are toxic and can cause suffocation.
·The workplace must always be clean and well lit. Disorder or poor
light and visibility can cause accidents.
·Do not work at night or in adverse weather conditions, e.g. in fog,
rain, snow, ice or wind. There is an increased risk of an accident!
·If you use a chainsaw in or after rain, particular consideration should
be given to the precautionary measures, as the soil can be very

slippery.
·Children, other persons and animals must not be in the vicinity when
using a chainsaw. In the event of a distraction, you can lose control
of the chainsaw.
·Before sawing, make sure that there are no persons, animals or
objects in the danger zone.
·National and / or municipal regulations may limit the time of the use
of noise-producing motor devices. Find out about this in your
municipal administration.
·When working in a highly flammable environment (dry grass,
bushes, etc.) and during draught, have prepared fire extinguishers
due to the danger of forest fire.
Adding fuel
·Before adding fuel mixture, you must always turn off the
engine and carefully inspect the environment so that no
sparks or open flames are in the vicinity.
·Gasoline is very flammable. When refuelling, keep a sufficient
distance to open flames and do not smoke.
·Before refuelling or adding oil into an appropriate tank, turn off
the engine and wait until the tool cools down. Otherwise, the
spilled fuel can ignite.
·Only add fuel in a well-ventilated area. Collected gasoline
vapours can ignite or explode.
·Avoid contact with skin and eyes with fuel or oil. Do not inhale
gasoline vapour.
·Make sure that gasoline or chain oil does not get into the
ground. Use a suitable base.
·After filling, close the covers of the tanks to prevent leakage of
fuel.
Wipe up the spilled fuel and run the tool at least 3 m from the

filling site. This will prevent the exhaust fumes of the engine to
ignite the spilled gasoline.
Use
·Never work alone! In an emergency, someone must be near.
·Check the correct operation of the safety devices before starting
work.
Do not use a chainsaw if it is damaged or does not work reliably.
·Always hold the chain saw with the right hand for the rear handle
and with the left hand for the front handle. Holding a chainsaw the
other way increases the risk of injury and must not be done.
·While the chainsaw is working, do not approach body parts to the
chain.
Before starting the chainsaw, make sure that the saw chain does not
touch anything. When working with a chainsaw, a moment of
carelessness can lead to the chain catching clothing or parts of the
body.
·Avoid any unusual body stance. Keep a safe stand and always
maintain balance. This way, you can control the chainsaw in
unexpected situations.
·Do not use the chainsaw above the shoulder height.
·Do not work on a tree with a chainsaw. There is a risk of injuries
when working on trees.
·Use a chainsaw only when standing on solid, secure and level
ground. Slippery or unstable surfaces (e.g. on the ladder) can lead
to loss of balance or control over the chainsaw.
·When a chain saw comes in contact with stones, nails, or other hard
objects, immediately stop the engine and check the chain and guide
bar for damage.
·The chainsaw must not fall to the ground, and you should not use it
to hit obstacles, and never use the guide bar as a lever.
