5.1 General safety notices

m CAUTION!: When working with tools that use fu-
el, the following basic rules must be followed in order to
minimise the risk of physical injury and/or damage to the
machine.
Read these notices before using the saw, and store
them safely.
1. Do not use the saw when you are tired, ill or under
the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
2. Be careful when handling fuel. Use the saw at a dis-
tance of at least 3m from the fuel filling location.
3. Start cutting only when the working environment has
been tidied, when you have established secure foot-
ing and planned an escape route from the falling tree.
4. Before starting the chainsaw, make sure it is not in
contact with any objects.
5. Carry the chainsaw only when the motor has stopped
running, the blade cover is on the chain bar and the
exhaust is facing away from you.
6. Do not start a chainsaw that is damaged, incorrect-
ly set up or assembled incompletely or loosely. En-
sure that the chainsaw stops when the chain brake is
activated.
7. Turn off the motor before putting the chainsaw down.
8. When cutting small bushes and saplings, be particu-
larly careful because the thin branches can become
caught in the saw and be ejected towards you or un-
balance you.
9. When cutting a branch under tension, be aware of
potential kickback when the tension is suddenly re-
leased.
10. Ensure that handles are dry, clean and free from oil
or fuel.
11. Do not cut trees with this chainsaw unless you have
the relevant training.
12. The overall maintenance of this chainsaw, apart from
the points specified in this manual and these mainte-
nance instructions, must be carried out by an author-
ised customer service.
13. For transport and storage of the chainsaw, fit the
blade cover to the chain bar.
14. Do not work with the chainsaw next to or in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids or gases, neither indoors
nor outdoors. There is a risk of explosion and/or fire.
15. Do not fill with fuel, oil or lubricant when the chain-
saw is running.
16. Only cut suitable material:
Only cut timber. Do not use the chainsaw for work
for which it is not suitable. Do not use the chain-
saw for cutting plastic, masonry or building materials
which are not made of wood, for example.
17. The power tool produces poisonous exhaust fumes
as soon as the motor starts. Never work in closed or
badly-ventilated rooms.
18. In order to locate significant damage or faults, it is
necessary to inspect the machine before use and in
case you drop it.
