6.2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
m DANGER
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE)!
- Wear a safety helmet with face protection or
safety goggles and hearing protection.
Wear close-fitting protective clothing with a
-
cut protection insert.
- Wear non-slip safety shoes.
- Wear protective gloves.
■ Avoid loose clothing that can get caught.
■ Do not wear a scarf, tie or jewellery!
■ If you have long hair, use a hair net!
■ Wear a safety helmet for all work in the forest.
This provides protection from falling branches.
Check the safety helmet regularly for damage.
This must be replaced after 5 years at the lat-
est. Only use approved safety helmets.
■ The face guard or safety goggles protect
against shavings and wood splinters. To pre-
vent injuries to the eyes, you must always wear
a face guard or safety goggles when working
with the device.
■ Always wear hearing protection. The noise emit-
ted by the device may cause hearing damage.
■ Wear robust protective gloves made of tough
material, such as leather.
■ Wear a dust protection mask when sawing dry
wood. Sawdust may form.
6.3 Storage and transport
■ Switch off the chainsaw before any transport,
even over short distances. Engage the chain
brake and fit the chain guard.
■ Use the chain guard during transport and stor-
age.
■ Secure the machine against tipping over during
transport (including in vehicles) to prevent fuel
loss, damage or injury.
■ Carry the device only by the front handle. In do-
ing so, the guide bar points backwards, away
from your body (see fig. L).
■ Keep the hot silencer away from your body.
There is a risk of burns!
■ Clean and maintain the chainsaw before stor-
age.
■ Store the device in a safe and dry location. Also
secure it from unauthorised access.
6.4 Environmental safety
■ National and/or municipal regulations may im-
pose time restrictions on the use of noise-gen-
erating, motorized devices. Ask your local ad-
ministration about this.
■ The device must not be operated indoors or in
other poorly ventilated areas. There is a danger
of suffocation due to the toxic exhaust gases /
lubricating oil vapours.
30 | GB
■ Only carry out work in daylight.
■ Also, do not work in adverse weather con-
ditions, such as rain or wind. There is an in-
creased risk of accidents here.
■ Keep your work area clean and tidy.
■ Keep children, other people and animals away
before and during work. If distracted, you can
lose control of the device.
■ Before starting work, make sure that there are
no persons, animals or property in the danger
zone.
■ Do not work near wire fences or in areas with
loose old wire.
■ Have fire extinguishers ready when working
in highly flammable environments such as dry
grass, etc. There is a risk of fire!
6.5 Filling with fuel
■ Petrol is very easily flammable. Keep away
from naked flames when refuelling and do not
smoke while doing so. There is a risk of fire!
■ Be careful not to spill petrol. Ensure that no
petrol or chain oil gets into the soil. Use suita-
ble sheeting or similar to help with this.
■ Refuel only in well-ventilated areas. Petrol va-
pours can easily ignite or explode.
■ Switch off the engine before refuelling and al-
low the device to cool down. If petrol has been
spilled, clean the affected areas immediately.
Also, do not let any fuel get on your clothes,
otherwise change immediately.
■ Also avoid skin and eye contact with petrol or
lubricants (oil).
■ Do not breathe in fuel vapours/lubricating oil
vapours.
■ Watch out for leaks. If petrol is leaking, do not
start the engine. There is a danger from burns.
■ Carefully open the tank cap so that any over-
pressure can slowly escape and no petrol
sprays out.
6.6 Before start-up
m WARNING
Always carry out checks before use and with the en-
gine switched off.
Check the device before each use and after it has
fallen to the ground to ensure that it is in safe operat-
ing condition.
Check that all moving parts are working properly.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools. Have damaged parts repaired by qualified spe-
cialist personnel.
Only use the chainsaw and accessories in accord-
ance with these instructions. taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed.
Using power tools for operations other than those in-
tended can lead to hazardous situations.
