!Warning!
Proper tension of the chain is extremely important. In order to avoid improper setting, the tensioning procedure must be followed as described in your manual. Always make sure the hexagonal nut(s) for the sprocket cover is (are) tightened securely after tensioning the chain. Never start the saw with the sprocket cover loose. Check chain tension once more after having tightened the nut(s) and thereafter at regular intervals (whenever the saw is shut off). If the chain becomes loose while cutting, shut off the motor and then tighten. Never try to adjust the chain while the motor is running!
!Warning!
After adjusting a chain, start the saw, let the motor run for a while, then switch motor off and recheck chain tension. Proper chain tension is very important at all times.
Electric PrecautionsSpecial precautions for electric saws must be observed to reduce the risk of personal injury and property damage from fire and electric shock.
This electric chain saw is double insulated.
!Warning!
To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury from electrocution, never use your machine if casing around motor is cracked or damaged.
!Warning!
The electrical power voltage must agree with the voltage specified on the saw's name plate. Improper voltage may cause the motor to overheat, which will damage the saw and may cause personal injury.
!Warning!
To reduce the risk of electrocution never work
in rain or wet places - the electric motor is not waterproof! Do not leave the chain saw outdoors in
the rain and do not operate it if it shows any signs of dampness.
!Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury from fire and explosion, do not use the saw in the presence of flammable liquids or gases. The sparks from an electric saw may be a source of ignition!
!Warning!
Inspect the power cable before and after each use
for signs of damage or
aging. In order to reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from electrocution,
never use your machine if the power cable is cut, cracked, worn or damaged. Turn off power at saw, disconnect the plug immediately and have dealer replace such a cable.
Avoid damage to the power cable. Keep it away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Never jerk power cable to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cable.
Extension cords !Warning!
To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a marking „Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors while not in use.“
Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Keep cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
