6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Keep the saw chain sharp. A dull chain will increase cutting time, and pressing a dull chain through wood will increase the vibration transmitted to your hands. - Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do not squeeze the handles with constant, excessive pressure. Take frequent breaks. ￭ These precautions do not guarantee that you will not sustain white finger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. - Closely monitor the condition of your hands and fingers if you are a regular operator. - Seek medical advice immediately if any of the above symptoms appear. ￭ According to STIHL's current knowledge, the electric motor of this chain saw should not interfere with a pacemaker. - However, persons with a pacemaker or other implanted medical device should consult their physician and device manufacturer before operating this chain saw. 6.3 Personal Protective Equipment WARNING ￭ To reduce the risk of personal injury: - Always wear proper clothing and protective apparel, including proper eye protection. ￭ Loss of control and severe cut injuries may result if hair, clothing or apparel make contact with the moving saw chain or otherwise become entangled in the components of the saw. To reduce the risk of severe personal injury: - Wear sturdy and snug-fitting clothing that also allows complete freedom of movement. - Wear the type of overalls, long pants or chaps that contain pads of cut-retardant material. - Wear a long-sleeve shirt or jacket. English - Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarves, neckties, flared or cuffed pants, jewelry and any other apparel that could be caught on branches, brush or the moving chain. - Secure hair above shoulder level before starting work. ￭ To reduce the risk of eye injury: - Always wear goggles or close-fitting protective glasses with adequate top and side protection that are impact-rated and marked as complying with ANSI Z87 "+". - To reduce the risk of injury to your face, STIHL recommends that you also wear a face shield or face screen over your goggles or protective glasses. ￭ To reduce the risk of head injury from falling branches or other objects encountered during work: - Wear an approved protective helmet. ￭ Chain saw noise may damage your hearing. Although this battery-powered product is relatively quiet, to reduce the risk of hearing damage: - Wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear muffs). - Regular operators should have their hearing checked periodically. - Be particularly alert and cautious when using hearing protection. Your ability to hear shouts, alarms or other audible warnings is restricted. ￭ Good footing is very important. To help maintain a secure footing and reduce the risk of injury while working: - Wear sturdy boots with non-slip soles. Steel-toed safety boots are recommended. Do not wear sandals, flipflops, open-toed or similar footwear. ￭ To improve your grip and help protect your hands: - Always wear heavy-duty work non-slip gloves made of leather or another wearresistant material when handling the chain saw or its chain. 0458-716-8621-E 11
