d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use electric tools, insertion tools, etc. ac-
cording to these instructions. taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for opera-
tions different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpect-
ed situations.
5. Service
a. Only have your electric tool repaired by qual-
ified specialists and only with original spare
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
m WARNING! This power tool generates an electro-
magnetic field during operation. This field can impair
active or passive medical implants under certain cir-
cumstances. In order to prevent the risk of serious
or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with
medical implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operat-
ing the power tool.
Vibration
m WARNING! Raynaud's syndrome is a vascular
disease that causes the small blood vessels on the
fingers and toes to cramp in spasms. The symptoms
include: Numbness, loss of sensitivity, tingling, itch-
ing, pain, decrease in strength, change of colour
or condition of the skin. The affected areas are no
longer supplied with sufficient blood and therefore
appear extremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating
tools can cause nerve damage in people whose cir-
culation is impaired (e.g. smokers, diabetics). If you
notice unusual adverse effects, stop working imme-
diately and seek medical advice. For long-term and
regular users, it is therefore recommended to closely
monitor the condition of your hands and fingers. Ob-
serve the following information to reduce hazards:
34 | GB
• Keep your body warm, especially your hands, es-
pecially in cool weather.
• Take regular breaks and move your hands to pro-
mote circulation.
• Limit the use of high vibration tools per day and
spread them over several days Make a work sched-
ule that limits vibration exposure.
• Ensure as little vibration as possible of the tool via
regular maintenance and stable parts on the de-
vice. Replace worn parts immediately.
• Change your working position regularly.
• If the machine is to be used or operated frequently,
you should contact your specialist dealer and re-
quest anti-vibration accessories (handles) if appli-
cable.
Safety functions of the electric chainsaw
• The front hand guard protects the left hand of the
operating person should it slip off the front handle
while the electric chainsaw is running.
• The rear hand guard protects the right hand from
contact with a discarded or broken saw chain.
• The chain brake is a safety function for minimis-
ing injuries from kick-backs by stopping a running
saw chain in milliseconds. It is activated by the front
hand guard in the event of a kick-back.
• The throttle interlock prevents the engine from ran-
domly accelerating. The throttle lever can only be
pressed when the switch-on lock is pressed.
• The claw stop supports the chainsaw on the wood
while working. Never work without a claw stop, the
chainsaw can pull the operator forward. Use the
claw stop for cutting tree trunks or thick branches.
Using the claw stop increases work safety, reduc-
es personal strain when working and vibrations are
also reduced. The claw stop must always be posi-
tioned on the tree trunk when using the chainsaw.
Push the claw stop onto the tree trunk using the
rear handle. To cut, push the front handle in the di-
rection of the cutting line. The claw stop may need
to be repositioned for further cutting.
General chainsaw safety warnings
a) Keep all body parts away from the saw chain
when the saw is running. Before starting the
pruning saw, ensure that the saw chain is
not touching anything. When working with a
chainsaw, a moment of carelessness can result
in clothing or body parts being caught by the saw
chain.
b) Always hold the chainsaw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand
on the front handle. Holding the chainsaw using
the opposite grip increases the risk of injuries and
shall be avoided at all times.
c) Only hold the chainsaw by the insulated grip-
ping surfaces, as the saw chain could hit hid-
den power lines or its own mains cable.
