erwise 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 cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are jamming less often and are easier to guide.
g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on tools, etc. in accordance with these in-
structions 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.

Device-specific safety instructions

• 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 handle 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.
• Wear eye and hearing protection. Other personal protection equipment for the
head, hands, legs and feet is recommended. Proper protective clothing and pro-
tection equipment reduce the risk of injury caused by thrown-about wood chips and
accidental contact with the chain.
• Do not operate the chain saw on 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 slippery 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 protection cover when transporting
