touches wood or any other solid objects. In this case
the saw will move uncontrolled and will be hurled
towards the operator at full power (risk of injury!).

safety helmet must be worn When cutting down
trees and cutting off branches of felled or fallen
trees. in addition a face protector should be worn.

before attempting to check or adjust the chain or to
correct some fault and whenever moving one
workplace to another.

KICKBACK
In order to prevent kick-back, please follow these
safety instructions:

Never cut with the tip of the guide bar! Be
careful, when continuing cuts you are already
working on!
Always start cuts with the chainsaw already
running!
Make sure that the saw chain is always
properly sharpened.
Never cut through more than one branch at a
time! When lopping off branches, be careful not to
touch any other branches.
When cross-cutting, pay attention to trunks
standing very close to each other. If possible use a
saw-horse.
TRANSPORTING THE CHAINSAW
Before transporting the chainsaw, always remove
the plug from the power socket and slide the chain
guard over the rail and chain. If several cuts are to
be performed with the chain saw, the saw must be
switched off between cuts.
BEFORE STARTING UP
The voltage and current supply must comply
with the ratings on the type plate.
Before commencing work, always check that
the chainsaw works properly and is safe to operate.
Check also that the chain lubrication and the oil
gauge are in good working order. When the oil lever
is approx. 5 mm from the bottom mark, you must top
up with oil. When the oil level is higher you can work
without worry.
Switch on the chain saw and hold it above the
ground. Be careful not allow the chainsaw to touch
the ground. For safety reasons it is best to keep a
clearance of at least 20 cm. If you now see growing
traces of oil, the chain lubrication system is working
correctly. If there are no traces of oil at all, try
cleaning the oil outlet, the upper chain tensioning
borehole and the oil duct, or contact your Customer
Service. (Be sure to read the section “Filling in chain
oil and chain lubrication” on this point).
Check the chain tension and retention, if
necessary (see the section “Tensioning the saw
chain” on this point).
