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.
Observe noise control and local
regulations.
Caution! When using power tools,
observe the following basic safety
measures for the prevention of elec-
tric shocks and the risk of injury and
fire. There is a risk of injury!
General safety instructions for
power tools
WARNING! Read all safety direc-
tions and instructions.
Omissions 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 pow-
er tools (with power cord) and to battery-
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, gas-
es 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 control.
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.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
•
cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool out-
•
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
