INTENDED USE / UNINTENDED USE
This chain-saw was designed to be used only by a trained
operator for pruning and cutting the crowns of tall tree
branches, for cutting bushes, trunks or wooden beams
whose diameter depends on the guide bar length. It can
only be used to cut wood. Any other use is unintended
use. FURTHERMORE, THE MACHINE MUST ONLY BE
USED BY TRAINED PROFESSIONAL TREE MAINTE-
NANCE OPERATORS.
While using the chain-saw, the operator must use proper
personal protective equipment according to the instruc-
tions in the manual and the pictograms on the chain-saw.
Safety devices and references for use and maintenance
are also an integral part of the instruction manual. Persons
using the chain-saw or doing maintenance must be famil-
iar with the manual. Only original spare parts or those ap-
proved by the manufacturer (guide bar, saw chain, spark
plug) and the authorised combinations of guide bar / saw
chain indicated in the manual can be used.

Residual risks
Even using the chain-saw according to instructions, there
are always residual risks that cannot be eliminated. The
following are potential risks according to the type and
construction of the chain-saw:
– Contact with exposed teeth of the saw chain (cutting
risk).
– Access to the rotating chain (cutting risk).
– Abrupt, unexpected movement of the guide bar (cut-
ting risk).
– Parts of the chain are projected (cutting/injury risk).
– Parts of the piece being sawed are projected.
