General notes on safety
Before you do any work with the
electric chainsaw, make yourself
familiar with all operating parts.
Practise using the saw (sawing logs
on a sawhorse) and get an experi-
enced user or a specialist to explain
to you the function of the saw, the
way of working, the techniques of
sawing and the personal protection
equipment.
Read the safety instructions in order
to avoid injuries and material dam-
age.
General safety instructions for
power tools
WARNING! Read all safety direc-
tions and instructions. Omis-
sions in the compliance with safety
directions and instructions can
cause electrical shock, fire and/or
severe injuries.
Retain all safety directions and instruc-
tions for future use.
The term “Power Tools” used in the safety
instructions refers to mains-operated
power tools (with power cord) and to bat-
tery-operated power tools (without power
cord).
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
• Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable Iiquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose con-
trol.
Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and match-
ing outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock
• Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• If the power cable for this equipment is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a customer service agent
of the same or a similarly qualified per-
son in order to prevent hazards.
• Lay the extension cable in such a way
that it will not be caught by branches
or similar during sawing.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entan-
