Safety Precautions

Special safety precau-
tions must be observed
when using a chain saw
because the chain runs at
very high speeds and the
cutters are extremely
sharp.
It is important you read
and understand the
Instruction Manual before
first use and keep the
manual in a safe place for
future reference. Non-
observance of the
Instruction Manual may
result in serious or even
fatal injury.
General compliance
Comply with national safety regulations
issued, e.g. by employers' liability
insurance associations, social security
institutions, occupational safety and
health authorities or other organizations.
The use of noise emitting machines may
be restricted to certain times by national
or local regulations.
If you have not used this machine
before: Have your dealer or other
experienced user show you how to
operate your machine – or attend a
special course in its operation.
