Working safely
• Keep the appliance in good working order to pre-
vent injury.
• If the appliance has been dropped, check for signif-
icant damage or defects.
• Do not use the appliance while standing on a lad-
der or with unsteady footing.
• Do not be tempted into making a poorly considered
cut. You could endanger yourself and others.
• Change your working position regularly. Using the
appliance for a long time can lead to vibration-re-
lated circulation disorders of the hands. You can
extend the usage duration by using appropriate
gloves or by taking regular breaks. Note that any
personal predisposition to poor blood circulation,
low external temperatures or large prehensile forc-
es can reduce the usage period.

m WARNING
Risk of burns!
Do not touch the hot exhaust silencer, cylinder or
cooling fins.

engine housing as free of dust and dirt as possible.
Blow it out with low-pressure compressed air.
• Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth
and a mild detergent. Make sure that no water can
penetrate into the interior of the appliance.

13.2 Cleaning the air filter
