Please read this manual carefully.

WARNING! Under no circumstances may
the design of the chainsaw be modified
without the express permission of the
manufacturer. Always use genuine
accessories. Non-authorised modifications
and/or accessories can result in serious personal injury
or the death of the operator or others. Your warranty
may not cover damage or liability caused by the use of
non-authorised accessories or replacement parts.
IMPORTANT!
The chainsaw is only designed for cutting wood.
You should only use the chainsaw with the bar and chain
combinations we recommend in the Specifications.
Never use the chainsaw if you are fatigued, while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs, medication
or anything that could affect your vision, alertness,
coordination or judgement.
Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under Personal protective equipment.
Do not modify this product or use it if it appears to
have been modified by others.
Never use a chainsaw that is faulty. Carry out all checks,
maintenance and service instructions described in this
manual. Some maintenance and service measures must
be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. See
instructions under Maintenance.
Never use any accessories other than those
recommended in this manual. See instructions under

CAUTION! Always wear protective glasses or a face
visor to reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects.
A chainsaw is capable of throwing objects, such as
wood chips, small pieces of wood, etc., at great force.
This can result in serious injury, especially to the eyes.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! A chainsaw is a dangerous tool
if used carelessly or incorrectly and can
cause serious, even fatal injuries. It is very
important that you read and understand
the contents of this owner’s manual.
WARNING! The inside of the muffler
contains chemicals that may be carcinogenic.
Avoid contact with these elements in the
event of a damaged muffler.
WARNING! Running an engine in a
confined or badly ventilated area can result
in death due to asphyxiation or carbon
monoxide poisoning.
WARNING! Long-term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and
dust from sawdust can represent a health
risk.
WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or
the wrong combination of bar and saw
chain increases the risk of kickback! Only
use the bar/saw chain combinations we
recommend, and follow the filing instructions. See
instructions under Specifications
Always use common sense
It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you can face when using a chainsaw.
Always exercise care and use your common sense. Avoid all situations which you consider
to be beyond your capability. If you still feel uncertain about operating procedures after
reading these instructions, you should consult an expert before continuing. Do not hesitate
to contact us if you have any questions about the use of the chainsaw. We will willingly
be of service and provide you with advice as well as help you to use your chainsaw both
efficiently and safely.
