General notes on safety
• Before you do any work with the electric chainsaw,
make yourself familiar with all operating parts.
• Practise using the saw (sawing logs on a saw-
horse) and get an experienced user or a specialist
to explain to you the function of the saw, the way of
working, the techniques of sawing and the personal
protection equipment.
• Observe the noise protection and local regulations
for woodcuts.

General safety instructions for power tools
1. Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while op-
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev-
er modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
