● Use the cable only for its proper purpose. Never carry your electric tool by its cable.
Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
● Extension cables out of doors. Use only authorized and accordingly labelled extension
cables out of doors.
● Use a strong support when sawing converted timber and thin branches (saw-horse,
Fig. 7b). Do not stack the timber and do not have it held by a second person or with
your foot.
● Logs must be secured in position.
● On sloping ground, always work facing upwards.
● When cross-cutting always set the claw stop against the timber you want to saw (see
Fig. 7b)
● Always set the claw stop before cross-cutting. Only then switch on the chainsaw
and start sawing into the wood. Pull the chainsaw upwards at the rear and lead the
direction with the front grip. Use the claw stop as a fulcrum. To reposition for further
cutting, interrupt the sawing process and exert a slight pressure on the front grip. Pull
the saw back a little, position the claw stop further down the cut and pull up the rear
grip (see Fig. 7a).
● Pull the saw out of the wood only when the saw chain is running.
● If you carry out several cuts, switch off the chain saw in-between.
● Plunge cuts and horizontal cuts may only be carried out by professionals (high risk of
kickback, see Fig. 8).
● For horizontal cuts, position the smallest possible angle. This requires extreme
caution, as the claw stop can not be applied in this case.
● If the chain gets stuck when sawing with the upper side it may be thrust towards the
operator. For this reason you should saw wherever possible with the bottom side, as
the chainsaw will then be thrust away from the body towards the wood (see Fig, 9 and
10).
● Pay extra attention when cutting splintered wood. Sawed off pieces of wood may be
catapulted in any direction (risk of injury!)
● Do not use the chainsaw to remove or similar objects.
● When lopping off branches, the chain saw should be supported wherever possible
against the trunk, Do not cut with the tip of the guide bar (risk of kick-back, see Fig. 8)..
● Leave branch lopping work should be carried out by trained personnel! Risk of injury!
● Pay special attention to branches under tension. Do not cut through freely suspended
branches from underneath.
● Never stand on the trunk when loping off branches.
● The chainsaw should not be used for forest work, i.e. for felling and lopping off
branches in the forest. Because of the cable connection the saw operator does not
have the necessary mobility and his safety is not guaranteed!
