stood all information and instructions in the operating instructions. The user must wear appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE).
Avoid use of tools at temperatures of 10°C or lower. Make a work plan to spread the use of high-vibration tools
across multiple days.
The chain saw is only permitted to be used to cut wood. Materials such as plastic, stone, metal or wood that
contains foreign matter (such as nails or screws) are not permitted to be cut.
Note that national regulations like occupational protection, environmental protection may limit the use of chain saws.
Residual risks
Residual risks remain even if you use this tool as intended. The following hazards can occur due to this tool's con-
struction and design:
1. Lung damage if a suitable dust mask is not worn.
2. Hearing damage if suitable hearing protection is not worn.
3. Cuts if suitable protective clothing is not worn.
4. Damage to health, which results from hand and arm vibrations if the device is used for an extended period or not
operated or maintained properly.
Warning! This machine generates an electromagnetic field when operated. This field can affect active or passive med-
ical implants in certain circumstances. In order to reduce the risk of severe injury or death, we recommend that people
with medical implants consult their doctor or the manufacturer of the medical implant before operating the machine.
Warning!
The prolonged utilisation of a tool will subject the user to vibration and shocks that could lead to Raynaud's syndrome
or Carpal tunnel syndrome.
This condition reduces the ability of the hand to sense and regulate temperature, causes numbness and a sensation
of heat and can lead to damage to the nervous system and the circulatory system and to necrosis.
Not all factors that lead to Raynaud's syndrome are known but cold water, smoking and illnesses that impact the blood
vessels and the circulatory system as well as severe or long-lasting exposure to vibrations are known to be factors in
the development of Raynaud's syndrome.
Observe the following in order to reduce the risk of Raynaud's syndrome and Carpal tunnel syndrome:
1. Keep your body and especially your hands warm during cold weather.
2. Take regular breaks and move your hands to promote blood circulation.
3. Always hold the handle firmly, but do not grip it continuously with excessive pressure.
4. Change your working position regularly.
All of the above precautions cannot exclude the risk of Raynaud's syndrome or Carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore,
with long-term or regular use it is advisable to keep a close watch on the condition of your hands and fingers. Seek
medical attention immediately in the event of any of the above symptoms appearing.
