Page: 36 / 47

Never expose the chainsaw to rain or bad
weather. Make sure there is enough light at the
place of work. Do not use power tools in the vicinity
of combustible liquids or gases.
If the chainsaw is not being used for a while, it
must be set aside in such a way that no other
person is endangered.
Before making a cut, always set the claw stop
before you start to saw.
Remove the chainsaw from the wood only with
the saw chain still running. Anyone who saws
without a stop can be pulled forwards.
Never use the chainsaw when standing on a
ladder, in a tree or in any other instable places. Do
not saw with one hand.
The power cable must always be behind the
saw operator.
The power cable must always lead away from
the rear of the chainsaw.
Use only original accessories.
Chainsaws used outdoors must be connected
up to an earth-leakage circuit-breaker.
Do not overload your power tools. They run
best and safest within given range of capacity.
Always use the correct power tool. Do not use
low-powered chainsaws for heavy jobs.
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 doors
Use only authorized and accordingly labelled
extension cables outdoors.
Use a strong support when sawing converted
timber and thin branches. 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
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.
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.
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.
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 nails 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.
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!
Always stand to the side of the tree being
felled.
When the tree is being felled, watch out for
falling branches when stepping back.
