Translation of original operating instructions for petrol chainsaw FX-KSP series
Noise and vibration
NOTE
Values for noise levels and total vibrations can
be gleaned from the "Technical data" table.
CAUTION!
The indicated measurements refer to new
power tools. Daily use causes the noise and
vibration values to change.
NOTE
The vibration level specified in these instruc-
tions was measured in accordance with a
standard test procedure that meets the re-
quirements of EN 60745.
If the chainsaw is not maintained properly, the
vibration level could be affected during opera-
tion. This may significantly increase the vibra-
tion load over the total working period.
To estimate the vibration load more accu-
rately, the times should also be taken account
of during which the equipment is switched off.
This may significantly decrease the vibration
load over the total working period.
CAUTION!
Wear ear defenders at a sound pressure
above 85 dB(A).
Information about noise develop-
ment
CAUTION!
The actual vibration emissions value during
operation of the machine may deviate from
that specified in the operating instructions or
by the manufacturer. This could be influ-
enced by the following factors, which should
be taken account of before and during use:
− Is the chainsaw being used correctly?
− Is the procedure during processing and
cutting of the wood correct and appro-
priate?
− Is the machine in a good state of repair, is
the sharpness of the cutting tool OK and
is the correct cutting tool being used?
− Are the handles or, if necessary, op-
tional vibration damping handles fitted
and are these firmly attached to the ma-
chine body?

NOTE
There may be national regulations (environ-
mental, occupational safety) that restrict use
of the chainsaw.
This is loud equipment and the noise cannot
be avoided. For longer periods of operation,
make sure that it is used during authorised
and dedicated times. Respect quiet periods
where required and do not make more noise
than necessary. Ensure, for personal safety,
that hearing protection is worn by the opera-
tor and persons in the vicinity.
◼ All of the aforementioned precautions are
not enough to prevent vibration white fin-
ger or carpal tunnel syndrome.
◼ Keep an eye on the condition of your
hands and fingers if you are a frequent or
regular user.
◼ If you experience any unpleasant feeling in
your hands or skin discolouration during
use of the machine, stop work immedi-
ately. Seek medical assistance without de-
lay in the event of one of the above symp-
toms.
◼ Take a sufficient number of breaks from
work. Failure to take sufficient breaks from
work can cause hand-arm vibration syn-
drome.
◼ Depending on the workload, therefore, es-
timate the degree of exposure from chain-
saw use. Reduce the risk of being ex-
posed to vibrations in doing so.
◼ Make a work plan. The vibration load can
be reduced in this way.
◼ Minimise use of the chain saw at tempera-
tures below 10°C.
