Further Safety Directions; Residual Risks - Parkside PKSA 20-Li B2 Translation Of The Original Instructions

a) Maintain a fi rm grip, with
thumbs and fi ngers encircling the
chain saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position
your body and arm to allow you
to resist kickback forces. Kickback
forces can be controlled by the operator,
if proper precautions are taken. Do not
let go of the chain saw.
b) Do not overreach and do not cut
above shoulder height. This helps
prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain saw
in unexpected situations.
c) Only use replacement bars and
chains specifi ed by the manu-
facturer. Incorrect replacement bars
and chains may cause chain breakage
and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer´s
sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can
lead to increased kickback.
