KICKBACK
In order to prevent kick-back, please follow these
safety instructions:
_ Never start cutting with the tip of the guide bar!
_ 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.
_ Check the chain tension and retention, if
necessary .
_ Make sure the chain brake is working properly .
