All users of the chain saw must first carefully read the maintenance and operating manual and familiarise themselves fully with all controls for correct operation of the device. Do not let children come into contact with the tool. Keep all the people away from the work area N Using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. [. . . ] Remove the plug from the sacket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance. For safety reasons, the socket used to power the unit should be backed up by a residual current device-operated (FI) circuitbreaker which can be tripped by a max. Before further use of your chainsaw, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine whether it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service agent. Do not use your chainsaw if the switch does not turn it on and off. N When sawing, do not use chainsaw above shoulder height. N The operator is responsible for any accidents or hazards that may occur to other persons or their belongings. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. N Voltage: make sure your machine is correct for your mains supply n Current: your machine is suitable for AC supply only. N Plugs/extension leads: we recommend the use of PVC or rubber covered plugs, connectors and leads with your machine. N Power point: the machine must be connected to a power point and not a lighting socket. N Do not over tension the chain as this will reduce life of chain, bar and motor. N Do not under tension the chain as this will make it fall down while working. The choice of the oil viscosity depends on the air temperature. Never use waste oil or second rate oil that could damage the pump, the bar and the chain. N Contact an authorised service centre in order to choose good oil. Check oil level regularly, refill if less than ¼ full. [. . . ] FELLING A TREE n Before felling a tree, consider carefully all conditions including the intended direction of the fall, the natural lean of the tree, surrounding trees and obstacles, the wind direction and speed. N Cut a wedge (1/3-1/2 of tree diameter) out of the trunk on the side which you want the tree to fall. We suggest to cut utilizing the bottom of the bar, this way of operating diminishes the probability of injuring. Be careful when cutting with the top of the bar. [. . . ]
