Kickback is the result of incorrect use or misuse of the
cordless chainsaw. It can be prevented by suitable pre-
cautionary measures, as described in the following:
a) Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with the
thumbs and fingers enclosing the chainsaw han-
dles. Bring your body and arms into a position in
which you can absorb the kickback forces. If suit-
able measures are implemented, the user will be able
to withstand the kickback forces. Never let go of the
chainsaw.
b) Avoid an unusual body stance and never saw
above shoulder height. This will help to avoid unin-
tentional contact with the rail tip, and enable improved
control of the chainsaw in unexpected situations.
c) Always use replacement guide rails and saw
chains prescribed by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement rails and saw chains may cause the
chain to break and/or lead to kick-back.
d) Adhere to the instructions of the manufacturer
when sharpening and maintaining the saw chain.
If the depth limiter is too low, this increases the ten-
dency towards kickback.
Residual risks
The product has been built according to state-of-the-
art and the recognised technical safety rules.
However, individual residual risks can arise during
operation.
• Damage to hearing if the stipulated hearing protection
is not worn.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety Instruc-
tions" and the "Intended Use" together with the oper-
ating manual as a whole are observed.
• Use the product in the way that is recommended in
this operating manual. This is how to ensure that your
product provides optimum performance.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met,
some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
WARNING
This power tool generates an electromagnetic field
during operation. This field can impair active or passive
medical implants under certain circumstances. In order
to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we rec-
ommend that persons with medical implants consult
with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical
implant prior to operating the power tool.
WARNING
In case of extended working periods, the operating per-
sonnel may suffer circulatory disturbances in their
hands (vibration white finger) due to vibrations.
Raynaud's syndrome is a vascular disease that causes
the small blood vessels on the fingers and toes to
cramp in spasms. The affected areas are no longer
supplied with sufficient blood and therefore appear ex-
tremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating products can
cause nerve damage in people whose circulation is im-
paired (e.g. smokers, diabetics).
If you notice unusual adverse effects, stop working im-
mediately and seek medical advice.
