6.2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

m DANGER
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE)!
Wear a safety helmet with face protection or safe-
-
ty 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 latest. Only use ap-
proved safety helmets.
■ The face guard or safety goggles protect against
shavings and wood splinters. To prevent 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 emitted
by the device may cause hearing damage.
■ Wear robust protective gloves made of tough mate-
rial, 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 storage.
■ 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 doing
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 storage.
■ Store the device in a safe and dry location. Also se-
cure it from unauthorised access.

6.4 Environmental safety

■ National and/or municipal regulations may impose
time restrictions on the use of noise-generating,
motorized devices. Ask your local administration
about this.
■ The device must not be operated indoors or in other
poorly ventilated areas. There is a danger of suffo-
cation due to the toxic exhaust gases / lubricating
oil vapours.
■ Only carry out work in daylight.
■ Also, do not work in adverse weather conditions,
such as rain or wind. There is an increased risk of
accidents here.
■ Keep your work area clean and tidy.
■ Keep children, other people and animals away be-
fore 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 high-
ly 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 na-
ked 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 suitable sheeting or
similar to help with this.
■ Refuel only in well-ventilated areas. Petrol vapours
can easily ignite or explode.
■ Switch off the engine before refuelling and allow
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 lubri-
cants (oil).
■ Do not breathe in fuel vapours/lubricating oil va-
pours.
■ 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 overpres-
sure 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 fall-
en to the ground to ensure that it is in safe operating
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 accordance
with these instructions. taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be performed. Using
power tools for operations other than those intended
can lead to hazardous situations.
■ Regularly check the chain brake for proper function-
ing (front hand guard, see fig. D).
