Further Safety Directions; Residual Risks - Parkside PGHSA 20-Li A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or condi-
tions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
a) Maintain a fi rm grip, with thumbs and
fi ngers encircling the chain saw han-
dles, with both hands on the saw and
position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Kickback
forces can be controlled by the opera-
tor, if proper precautions are taken. Do
not let go of the chain saw.
b) avoid an abnormal work posture and
do not saw above shoulder height. This
prevents unintentional contact with the
rail tip and enables better control of the
garden pruner in unforeseen situations.
c) Only use replacement bars and chains
specifi ed by the manufacturer. Incor-
rect replacement bars and chains may
cause chain breakage and/or kick-
back.
d) Follow the manufacturer´s sharpen-
ing and maintenance instructions for
the saw chain. Decreasing the depth
gauge height can lead to increased
kickback.

Further safety directions

• Comply carefully with maintenance,
control and service instructions in this
manual.
Damaged protective devices and parts
have to be repared or changed except
as noted otherwise in this manual.
• It is recommended that a fi rst-time user
at least practice the cutting of logs on a
saw log or frame.
• For sawing work on hillsides, always
stand in the area above the log.
To keep total control while sawing
through, reduce the pressure at the end
of the cut without loosening your grip
on the handles of the garden pruner.
Make sure the saw chain does not
touch the ground. After fi nishing the
cut, wait until the garden pruner comes
to a stop before removing it there. Al-
ways switch off the motor of the garden
pruner before changing between trees.
• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clips and
wires must be removed from the tree.
• Do not use any accessories that are not
recommended by PARKSIDE. This can
result in electric shock or fi re.
