Never move the power tool when it is in motion. Accidental contact
of clothing with a working tool may cut it and come into contact with
the operator's body.
Regularly clean the device's ventilation slots. The motor blower sucks
dust into the housing and a large accumulation of metal dust can
cause an electrical hazard. Blocked ventilation slots of the device can
also lead to overheating of the power tool.
Before starting each time, make sure that:
- the device is assembled correctly, according to the instructions;
- the cutting tool is in good condition; the chain attachment must be
checked regularly for damage and wear;
- safety devices (e.g. cutter guard, housing, handle, motor switch) are
in good condition and working properly.
Only move the chainsaw away from the workpiece when the cutting
chain is running.
Always use the support claws as a support point when cutting
through. Holding the saw by the main handle, guide it with the
auxiliary handle.
If it is not possible to cut the material at one time, pull the saw
slightly back, move the support claw and continue cutting by lifting
the main handle of the saw slightly.
Be extra careful when the chain gets stuck. This may result in the
kickback towards you.
After the saw is switched off, the chain remains in motion for some
time. Caution must be maintained.
The rotating chain of the saw heats up and expands. Without proper
lubrication and tension, it can jump off the guide bar or break off.
Danger of serious accident and damage to property.
Always turn off the saw when:
- is left unattended;
- before adjustment and maintenance;
- after it being hit by a foreign object;
- abnormal vibrations of the device are sensed.
