checked for damage (e.g. bent chain bar) and a test run has to be car-
ried out.
8. For felling or cross-cutting, the spike bar (claw stop) must be applied
to the wood to be cut. The use of the spike bar is also recommended
when cutting through thick branches.
9. Before every cross-cut, firmly position the spike bar and only then saw
into the wood with the chainsaw running. The saw is then lifted up us-
ing the rear grip and guided using the front handle. The spike bar acts
as a pivot point. Repositioning is done using light pressure on the front
handle. Pull the saw back slightly to do this. Insert the spike bar deeper
and lift up again using the rear grip.
Use only admitted chain saw and chain bar combination (See chap-
ter: Troubleshooting)
The cutting equipment supplied is optimally matched to this chain saw.
When pairing of components do not match, the cutting attachment can be
irreparably damaged after only a short operating time and cause injury.

NOTICE
The following information is mainly for the end user or the infrequent us-
er. This chainsaw has been designed for occasional use by home own-
ers, garden owners and campers, for general work such as clearing, cut-
ting firewood etc. It is not intended for longer work. During longer work,
because of vibrations, there is a risk of circulation problems in the user‘s
hands (white-finger-syndrome).
White-finger-syndrome (Raynaud’s Disease) is a vascular disease where
the small blood vessels in fingers and toes contract seizure-like. The af-
fected areas are no longer supplied with blood and therefore look very
pale.
Frequent use of vibrating machines can cause nerve damage in people
whose circulation is compromised (e.g. smokers, people with diabetes).
If you notice unusual impairment, immediately stop the work and consult
a doctor. Observe the following notices in order to reduce risks:
• Keep your body, and particularly your hands, warm in cold weather.
• Take regular breaks during which you should move your hands to pro-
mote circulation.
• Ensure the lowest possible vibration of the machine by regularly
maintaining it and keeping components tight.
