Safety Instructions
Furthermore, you should also have
– The included tools
– Suffi cient supply of fuel and chain lubricating oil
– Accessories for designating the work area (rope, warning signs)
– Whistle (to call for help)
– Hand saw or axe (to remove potential obstacles)
When working, never wear loose clothing, jewellery, that could become caught by the chain saw. Do not
wear sandals when working, do not work barefoot.
Check the work area, the item being cut and the cutting direction. Remove obstacles.
Never commence work if the work area is not cleared, if you do not have a stable stance and if you do not
have a planned escape route in the event of a falling tree.
Pay increased attention and keep passers-by and pets away from the work area at a distance of at least
2.5 times the length of the item being cut.
Check for damaged, worn out or missing parts of the power tool. Never use the power tool if it is damaged,
incorrectly adjusted or incomplete. Check that the chain stops turning when the throttle trigger is released.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and fuel stains.
Do not touch the muffl er, spark plugs or other metal parts of the engine when the power tool is running or
immediately after it is turned off - there is a risk of burns or injury by electrical shock.
Pay exceptional attention when cutting thin branches or trunks because fragile material may become caught
in the chain and fl ung towards the operator and may thus cause a loss of balance.
When cutting tensioned branches keep in mind that they will fl ing out when the wood fi bres are cut and the
tension is released.
Check for and remove dry branches that could come loose from the falling tree.
Make sure that the power tool is turned off when you put it down.
CAUTION danger of kickback!
Kickback may occur when the nose of the guide bar comes into
contact with an item or if the material being cut clamps the chain in the cut. During contact with the item,
the chain saw may be fl ung with the guide bar moving up and back towards the operator. A clamped chain
may result in a fast backward movement of the guide bar towards the operator. Both these reactions may
lead to a loss of control over the chain saw and subsequent serious injuries. Do not rely only on the chain
saw’s safety features. As the operator of the chain saw, you must constantly adhere to multiple rules to avoid
injuries or damages.
If you are acquainted with the kickback principle, you can reduce or eliminate the moment of surprise.
Unexpected reactions result in accidents.
If the engine is running, hold the chain saw with both hands with the right hand on the rear handle and the
left hand on the front handle. Firmly grasp the handle with the thumb going around towards the fi ngers.
A fi rm grip helps limit kickback and to keep the chain saw under control.
There must be no obstacles in the work area. When working with the chain saw, the loose end of the guide
bar must not touch a branch, trunk or another obstacle.
Cut with the engine running at high speed.
A stable stance must be maintained at all times when cutting, do not cut above shoulder height.
Adhere to the instructions of the manufacturer for lubricating and sharpening the chain.
Only use spare chains and guide bars specifi ed by the manufacturer or their equivalents.
