MTD CSH40 Original Operating Instructions page 29

Safety information
¾ In operation the saw chain cannot be
switched on with the chain brake activated.
Check this prior to use. If the saw chain can
indeed be switched on, have this repaired by a
specialist workshop prior to each further instance
of use.
¾ Chain and cutting bar form the cutting set.
Only cutting equipment approved by the
manufacturer may be used for the respec-
tive device. Pairing of components that are not
matched to each other, can result in injuries and
irreparable tool damage. Chains and blades of
different manufacturers must not be combined
and used together.
Information about vibrations:
¾ Vibrations can cause nerve damage and
impair the blood circulation in the hands and
arms.
¾ When working in the cold, wear warm clothing
and keep your hands warm and dry.
¾ Take breaks.
¾ If you notice that the skin of your fingers
or hands goes numb, tingles, hurts or goes
white, stop working with the machine and, if
necessary, consult a doctor.
¾ The specified vibration emission values:
• Were measured according to a standardised
testing procedure.
• Make it possible to estimate the power tool
emissions and compare these with different
power tools. Dependent on the conditions
of use, the state of the power tool or tools
inserted for use with it, the actual vibration
load may be higher or lower. When estimat-
ing the emissions, consider doing so during
work pauses and phases when the tool is
under reduced load. Implement protective
actions, e. g. organisational measures,
based on appropriate estimates.
