e) Thoroughly maintain your power tool. Check whether moving
parts are working properly and are not jamming/sticking, and
whether parts are broken or otherwise damaged in a way that
may affect the function of the power tool. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the tool. Many accidents are the result of
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Thoroughly maintained cut-
ting tools with sharp cutting edges are jamming less often and are
easier to guide.
g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on tools, etc. in accord-
ance with these instructions and in the way prescribed for the
respective type of tool. You should also consider the working
conditions and the work to be carried out. The use of power
tools for purposes other than those intended for the respective tool
may result in dangerous situations.
5) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by qualified technical personnel
only; repairs should be carried out using exclusively original
spare parts. This will ensure the continued safe operation of the
power tool.
6) emissions
- The specified vibration emission value was measured by a
standardized test methods and can compare with other power
tools are used.
- The specified vibration emission value can also be necessary
for the assessment of work breaks are used.
- The specified vibration emission value can vary during the
actual use of the electric tool, depending on the way the pow-
ertool is used.
- Note: You can reduce the risk of vibration injury by taking
regular breaks.
7) Safety instructions for chain saws:
•
Keep the cable away from the cutting area. When working with
the tool the cable might be hidden in bushes and accidentally cut
through.
•
Keep all parts of your body clear of the chain while the saw is
running. before starting the saw, make sure that the chain does
not touch any objects. When working with a chain saw, even a short
moment of inattentiveness may result in clothes or parts of the body
being caught by the chain.
•
always hold the chain saw with your right hand at the rear han-
dle and your left hand at the front handle. Holding the chain saw
differently (left hand – rear handle / right hand – front handle) during
operation will increase the risk of injury and is not permitted.
•
Hold the electric equipment by its insulated handle surfaces, as
the chainsaw can come into contact with its own mains power
cable. If the chainsaw comes into contact with a live cable, it can
energise metal parts of the equipment and cause an electric shock.
•
Wear eye and hearing protection. other personal protection
equipment for the head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Proper protective clothing and protection equipment reduce the risk
of injury caused by thrown-about wood chips and accidental contact
with the chain.
•
Do not operate the chain saw from within trees. Operating a chain
saw while situated on a tree involves a high risk of injury.
•
Make sure to have a safe stand at any time, and only use the
chain saw when standing on solid, safe and level ground. A slip-
pery ground or instable surfaces as the steps of a ladder may lead to
loosing balance or the control over the chain saw.
•
When cutting a branch that is under tension take into account
that it will spring back. When the tension of the wood fibres is
released the tensioned branch may hit the operator and/or the chain
saw resulting in a loss of control.
•
apply particular caution when cutting brush and young trees.
The thin material may get caught in the chain and hit you or throw
you off balance.
•
Carry the switched-off chain saw using the front handle with the
chain pointing away from your body. always put on the protec-
tion cover when transporting or storing the chain saw. The care-
ful handling of the chain saw reduces the risk of accidentally touching
the sharp cutting chain.

1. Introduction to the operating Instructions (continued)
Pro Electric Chainsaw Operator's Manual
•
follow the instructions for lubrication, chain tension and chang-
ing accessories. An improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or considerably increase the risk of a kickback.
•
Keep the handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Fatty,
oily handles are slippery and may lead to a loss of control.
•
Use the chain saw for cutting wood only! Do not use the chain
saw for works it is not designed for. – example: Do not use the
chain saw for cutting plastics, brickwork or other construction
materials that are not made of wood. The use of the chain saw for
applications, for which it is not designed, may result in dangerous
situations.
8) Causes of kickbacks and how to avoid them:
•
A kickback can occur if the tip of the guide bar touches an object or
the wood to be cut pinches the bar inside the cut.
•
In some cases, touching an object with the tip of the bar may lead to
an unexpected, sudden backward movement, in the course of which
the guide bar is 'kicked' upwards and in the direction of the operator.
•
The pinching of the chain at the upper edge of the guide bar may
fiercely throw the bar back in the direction of the operator.
•
In both cases, you may loose the control over the saw and get seri-
ously hurt. Do not exclusively rely on the chain saw's built-in safety
features. As a user of a chain saw you should take several precau-
tions to continuously work without having accidents or suffering
injuries.
•
A kickback is the result of a wrong or improper use of the power tool.
It may be avoided by taking the following proper precautions:
- Hold the saw with both hands with the thumbs and fingers
firmly embracing the handles of the chain saw. Position your
body and arms such that you can withstand the power of a kick-
back. When proper precautions are taken the operator will be able
to control the power of a kickback. Never let go of the chain saw!
- avoid unusual postures and do not cut above shoulder height.
This avoids accidentally touching objects with the tip of the bar and
allows for a better control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
- only use the replacement bars and chains prescribed by the
manufacturer. The use of wrong replacement bars and chains may
lead to chain breaks or kickbacks.
- adhere to the manufacturer's instructions to sharpen and
maintain the chain. Depth limiters that are too low increase the
risk of a kickback.
- Set the loop so that it is not detected during operation of
branches or the like.
