ABOUT PROTECTION AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCKABOUT PROTECTION AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK
• Note that the mains voltage corresponds to the data on the rating plate.
• If possible, connect the device only to sockets with a residual current circuit breaker with a measuring current not exceeding 30mA.
• Before each use, check the device and the power cord with the plug for damage. Avoid body contact with grounded parts (e.g. metal
fence, metal pole).
• The extension connector must be protected from splashing water, made of rubber or coated with it. Only use extension cords that
are intended for outdoor use and have the appropriate markings. The cord cross section should be at least 1.0 mm 2. Unwind the cord are intended for outdoor use and have the appropriate markings. The cord cross section should be at least 1.0 mm 2. Unwind the cord are intended for outdoor use and have the appropriate markings. The cord cross section should be at least 1.0 mm 2. Unwind the cord
completely from the drum before using it. Check the cable for damage.
• Route the cable away from the work area and remember to be behind the person operating the device.
• Use the strain relief provided for this purpose to attach the extension cable.
• Damaged cables, connectors, plugs and non-compliant connecting cables must not be used. If the power cord is damaged or cut,
immediately remove the plug from the socket.
• Do not use the device if the switch cannot be turned on or off. Damaged switches must be replaced at a customer service center.
• Do not overload the device. Work only within the specified power range. Do not use low power machines for heavy work. Use your
device only for its intended purpose.
ABOUT GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR POWER TOOLS Workplace ABOUT GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR POWER TOOLS Workplace
• The workplace should be kept clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can lead to accidents.
• Do not use this tool in potentially explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or liquids. Power tools create sparks which may ignite.
• Keep the power tool out of reach of children and other people. You can lose control of the tool if you distract
you.
• The chain must not be operated by children and young people; the exception is apprentices over 16 years
under supervision. The prohibition also applies to people who are unfamiliar or insufficiently familiar with the
operation of the chainsaw. The operating instructions should always be at hand. The saw should not be
entrusted to overworked or physically inefficient persons.
Electrical safety
• The power tool plug must match the outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs for
power tools with protective grounding. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric
shock.
•Avoid contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, stoves and refrigerators. The risk of electric
shock is greater when the user's body is grounded.
• The device should be protected against rain and moisture. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
• Never use the cable for other activities. Never carry a power tool by the cord or use a cord to suspend the
appliance;
7
Also, do not pull the plug out of the socket by pulling the cord. The cable should be protected against high
temperatures and kept away from oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the device. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is also suitable for outdoor use. Use of an
appropriate extension cord (adapted for outdoor use) reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If the power tool cannot be avoided in a humid environment, use a residual current device (RCD). Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Security of persons
• Exercise caution when working with a power tool, be careful and prudent every step. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when
using a power tool can result in serious injury.
• Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety glasses. Wearing personal protective
equipment - mask dust, shoes from soles
, hard hat or hearing protection (depending on the type and use of the power tool) - reduces the risk of
injury.
• Avoid unintentional starting of the tool. Before inserting the plug into the socket and / or connecting to the
battery, and before lifting or moving the power tool, make sure that the power tool is switched off. Keeping
your finger on the switch while moving the power tool or plugging in a power tool may result in accidents.
• Before turning on the power tool, remove the setting tools or wrenches. A tool or wrench that is in the
moving parts of the machine can cause injury.
• Avoid unnatural work positions. Take care of stable work position and balance. This way you will be able to
better control your power tool in unforeseen situations.
• Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If it is possible to install dust extraction and trapping devices, make sure that they are connected and used
correctly. Using a dust extraction device can reduce the risk of dust.
Proper service and use of power tools
• Do not overload the device. Only use power tools intended for this purpose. A properly selected power tool
works better and safer in a given performance range.
• Do not use a power tool if the on / off switch is damaged. A power tool that cannot be turned on or off is
dangerous and must be repaired.
•Before adjusting the device, changing accessories or after stopping the work with the tool, pull the plug out of the
socket and / or remove the battery. This precautionary measure prevents the power tool from unintentionally
starting.
8
• Store unused power tools out of the reach of children. Do not share the tool with people who do not know it
or have not read these regulations. Power tools used by inexperienced people are dangerous.
• Proper maintenance of the power tool is necessary. Check that the moving parts of the device are working
properly and are not blocked, whether the parts are not cracked or damaged in a way that would affect the
proper functioning of the power tool. Damaged parts must be repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. The cutting tool is stuck much less often if it is carefully maintained.
Well-groomed tools are also easier to drive.
• Power tools, accessories, auxiliary tools etc. should be used in accordance with these instructions. The
conditions and type of work performed should be taken into account. Incorrect use of the power tool can
lead to dangerous situations.
Proper service and use of battery tools
• Rechargeable batteries should only be charged with chargers recommended by the manufacturer. There is
a risk of fire if you use a charger that is suitable for charging a certain type of battery in a way that is not
intended.
• Only use the batteries intended for this purpose. Using other batteries may cause injury and fire.
• Keep unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that
could bridge the contacts. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• If used improperly, it is possible for the electrolyte to escape from the battery. Avoid contact with it, and in
case of accidental contact with the electrolyte, wash the affected area with water. If liquid has got into your
eyes, consult a doctor in addition. The electrolyte may cause skin irritation or burns.
IN SAFETY TIPS FOR WORKING WITH CHAINSAWSIN SAFETY TIPS FOR WORKING WITH CHAINSAWS
• Maintain a safe distance between all body parts and the chain saw while the engine is running. Before
starting the saw, make sure that the chain does not touch anything. A moment of carelessness when
operating a chain saw can result in clothing or body parts being caught in the chain.
•When working with a chain saw, always hold the rear handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand.
Holding the saw in a different way (vice versa) increases the risk of injury and is not acceptable.
• The power tool should only be operated by the insulated handle, since the chain may come across hidden
electric wires. As a result of chain contact with a live wire, voltage may be transferred to the metal parts of
the power tool, which could cause electric shock.
• Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. It is also recommended to use a protective helmet, hand, leg
and foot protection. Appropriate protective clothing reduces the risk of injury from airborne filings, and also
prevents accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not work a chain saw while sitting in a tree. Working with a chain saw in a tree can cause serious injury.
9
• Always maintain a stable position at work. The chain saw may only be used when standing on a stable, safe
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces, such as when working with a ladder, can lead to loss of
balance or loss of control over a chain saw.
• Always remember that when cutting, a taut branch may spring back. If the stress in the fibers releases, the
branch can hit the saw operator and / or "pull" the saw out of control.
• Particular care should be taken when cutting undergrowth and young trees. Thin material can get caught in
the saw chain and hit the operator, or lead to a loss of balance.
• The chain saw may only be moved with the chain locked; hold it by the front handle with the guide pointing
backwards. Always wear a protective cover when transporting and storing the chain saw. Careful handling of
the chain saw reduces the risk of accidental contact with a moving chain.
• Observe the appropriate instructions when lubricating and tensioning the chain, and when changing tooling.
An improperly tensioned or poorly lubricated chain may break or increase the risk of kickback.
• The handles must always be dry, clean and free from oil or grease. Greasy, oil-contaminated handles are
slippery and lose control of the tool.
• Only wood can be cut. The chain saw must not be used for work for which it was not intended. For example:
Do not use a chain saw to cut plastics, masonry or building materials not made of wood. Using the chain in a
way that is not intended may lead to dangerous situations.
•Reasons for rejection and ways to avoid it:
- The recoil phenomenon occurs when the upper part of the bar tip contacts an object or as a result of a
saw chain jamming in the kerf due to bending of the cut wood.
- As a result of the bar tip coming into contact with an object, in some cases there may be a pushing force
exerted by the chain saw backwards, which may cause uncontrolled upward movement of the bar towards
the operator.
- Jamming of the saw chain on the edge of the guide bar may lead to a sudden kickback of the bar towards
the operator.
- Any of these reactions can cause you to lose control of the chain saw and cause serious injury. Do not
rely solely on the built-in security features of the device. The chainsaw user should take various additional
measures to keep work free from accidents and injuries. The kickback is the result of incorrect or incorrect
use of the power tool. It can be avoided by taking the following precautions:
• Hold the chain saw with both hands, the thumb and other fingers of the hand should cover the handles. The
body and arms should be in a stable position to withstand possible recoil. The operator can keep discards
under control by using appropriate measures. Never let the chain saw be turned on.
10
• Do not take an unnatural position when cutting, or cut with the saw at a height above the shoulders. This
avoids unintentional contact with the top of the bar tip and makes it easier to control the saw in unexpected
situations.
• Only use spare parts recommended by the manufacturer (guides and chains). Incorrect guides or chains can
break the chain or cause kickback.
•The saw should be sharpened and maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions. Too shallow depth
stops increase the tendency to recoil.
D ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSD ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• It is recommended that the person who operates the chain saw be trained before the first start by an
experienced specialist in the use of the tool, as well as the use of protective equipment on specific examples
in practice. As an introductory exercise sawing tree trunks on a goat or a special base should be carried out.
• This power tool is not suitable for use by people (including children) who are physically, emotionally or
mentally restricted, or who have insufficient experience and / or insufficient knowledge. An exception is
when they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety and receive instructions from that person
regarding the use of the power tool. Children should be supervised to rule out the possibility of them playing
with a power tool.
• The chain must not be operated by children and young people; the exception is apprentices over 16 who are
under supervision. The prohibition also applies to people who are unfamiliar or insufficiently familiar with the
operation of the chainsaw. The operating instructions should always be at hand. The saw should not be
entrusted to overworked or physically inefficient persons.
• When working with the power tool, hold it firmly in both hands and ensure a stable working position.
Two-hand power tools are safer.
• Before working with the device, make sure that all safety devices, covers and handles are properly attached.
Do not operate devices that have been partially dismantled or devices with unauthorized modifications.
• Wait until the power tool is stationary before putting it away.
• Under no circumstances may you remove the guide cover or modify it in any way! The saw has been
equipped with a guide bar to prevent kickback in situations where the tip of the saw unintentionally touches
the wood being processed.
Tips for optimal battery handling
• Before inserting the battery, make sure that the garden tool is turned off. Placing the battery with the garden
tool turned on can cause accidents.
• Only use Bosch batteries that are intended for the garden tool. Use of a different type of battery can cause
injury and fire.
• Do not open the battery. There is a danger of short circuit. The battery should be protected against high
temperatures, e.g. from constant sunlight, against fire, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.
