PRODUCT SAFETY WARNINGS
piece.
•
When sawing, the base plate must always face
against the workpiece. The saw chain can become
jammed and lead to loss of control over the machine.
•
When the cut is completed, switch off the machine
and then pull the saw chain out of the cut only after it
has come to a standstill. This way you can avoid kick-
back.
•
Clamp the material to be processed well. Do not
support the workpiece with your hand or foot. Do
not touch objects or the floor with the saw running.
Danger of kick-back.
•
When sawing converted timber and thin branches
always use a strong support, such as a sawing
trestle. Do not stack timber pieces.
•
Before cutting logs, secure the logs in position.
•
When working on sloping ground, make sure to work
facing upwards.
•
Be particularly careful when cutting splintered wood.
Splinters of wood can be torn along by the saw chain
and increase the risk of injury!
•
Foreign objects such as nails, screws, metal parts,
sand, etc. lead to increased wear on the guide bar
and saw chain.
•
A blunt saw chain can cause overheating and damage
to the motor.
•
Always pull out the battery when checking the chain
tension, to re-tighten it, to mount the saw chain and
to eliminate faults! Also remove the battery if you do
not use the machine temporarily.
