Personal protective equipment WARNING: Read the warning instructions that follow before you use the product. Keypad The warning indicator flashes if the chain brake is engaged or if there is a risk of overload. The overload protection temporarily stops the product and you can not use the product until the temperature restores. If the indicator shows a solid light, turn to your servicing dealer. • Most chainsaw accidents occur when the saw chain touches the operator. You must use approved personal protective equipment during operation. Personal protective equipment does not give you full protection from injuries but it decreases the degree of injury if an accident occurs. Speak to your servicing dealer for recommendations about which equipment to use. • Your clothing must be close-fitting but not limit your movements. Regularly do a check of the condition of the personal protective equipment. • Use an approved protective helmet. • Use approved hearing protection. Long-term exposure to noise can result in permanent damage to the hearing. • Use protective glasses or a face visor to decrease the risk of injury from thrown objects. The product can throw objects, such as wood chips, small pieces of wood and more, at large force. This can result in serious injury, especially to the eyes. • Use gloves with saw protection. • Use pants with saw protection. • Use boots with saw protection, steel toe-cap and non-slip sole. • Always have a first-aid kit with you. • Risk of sparks. Keep fire extinguishing tools and a shovel near to prevent forest fires.
