• Do not use the bar of the chainsaw for clearing away sawn off twigs.
• When sawing limbs off trees the chainsaw should be supported against the tree trunk if
possible. Do not saw using the end of the bar, because this creates a risk of kickback (see
fig. c).
• Tree limbs should only be removed by trained experts. Risk for Injury!
• Be extra vigilant with limbs under tension. Do not remove hanging limbs from below.
• Never stand on the tree trunk when removing limbs.
• The chainsaw should not be used for forestry work, i.e. felling and removing limbs in the
forest. Owing to the fact that the chainsaw needs a supply of electricity, it does not have
the required mobility and its safety cannot be guaranteed.
• Watch out for falling trees and keep out of their way.
• When a tree is felled, watch out for falling branches when stepping backwards.
• On slopes, always stand next to or upslope of the trunk or log, never below it.
• Watch out for timber rolling towards you, the chainsaw could kickback.
• The chainsaw can kickback if the tip of the saw bar unintentionally comes into contact with
wood or other solid material. In this case the chainsaw could be thrown out of control at
high speed, posing a risk to the operator.
Follow these safety instructions to prevent the saw bar from kicking back
• Never start to saw with the tip of the bar.
• Never saw with the tip of the bar. Be careful when resuming work on previously started cuts.
• Always start the chainsaw so that the chain is moving before you start cutting.
• Keep the chainsaw sharp and correctly ground (use a file gauge if you can’t file freehand
or take the chain to professionals for sharpening).
• Never saw into more than one branch at a time, make sure that you do not saw more than
one branch at a time.
• When bucking, be careful when several tree trunks are lying close together. Use a saw
horse if possible.
Transporting and Handling the Chainsaw
Pull out the plug and cover the bar with the scabbard before transporting the chainsaw.
Switch the saw off when it has been lifted out of a cut, if you are going to make several cuts.
