Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined accord-
ing to EN60745:

Sound pressure level (L
Sound power level (L ) : 100.4 dB (A)

WARNING:
Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN60745:
Model DUC303
Work mode: cutting wood
Vibration emission (a
h,W
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s

Vibration emission (a
h,W
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared emission
value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety measures to pro-
tect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure
in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of
the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-oper-
ated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Cordless Chain saw safety warnings
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the chain saw is operating. Before
you start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain
is not contacting anything. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating chain saws may cause entan-
glement of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
Always hold the chain saw with your right
2.
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a
reversed hand configuration increases the risk of
personal injury and should never be done.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protec-
tive clothing will reduce personal injury by flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
5. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a
chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.
6. Always keep proper footing and operate the chain
saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders
may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
7. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres
is released the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
8. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and sap-
lings. The slender material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
9. Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain
saw switched off and away from your body. When trans-
porting or storing the chain saw always fit the guide
bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the
likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
