Safety information when working
■
If you are working with a chain saw for the
first time:
■
Have the salesperson or another expert
explain the operation of the chain saw, or
attend a course.
■
Prior to the first use, at the very least
practice cutting round wood on a saw
frame or stand.

people who do not know the operating in-
structions are not allowed to use the tool.

To operate the chain saw, you must be rest-
ed and in good physical and mental health. If
you must not exert yourself for health rea-
sons, ask your doctor whether it is possible to
work with a chain saw.

in order to check that the chain saw is com-
plete and does not contain damaged or worn
components. Safety and protective devices
must be intact.
