Device-specific safety instructions

• Young people under 18 years of age and

users who are not sufficiently acquainted
with its operation must not use the device

• Make sure that the device is assembled

completely and according to regulations.

• Check the device to ensure that it works

correctly, especially check the correct
and secure fit of the chain rail, saw chain
tensioned according to regulations and
correct function of the chain brake.

• Check all screw connections regularly to

ensure tight fit.

• Before use, ensure that there are no peo-

ple or animals in the work area.

• Make certain that the work area is free of

obstacles.

• Always keep an eye on your surroundings

in order to ensure that you are not endan-
gering any people or animals with your
work.

• No other persons or animals may be pre-

sent within an area of 15 m around the
cutting area, as they may otherwise by hit
by objects being slung away.

• Never work in poor light or weather con-

ditions.

• Only saw wood. Do not use the chain saw

for work for which it is not intended.

• Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil

and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slip-
pery and cause loss of control.

• Avoid sawing in bushes, since here small

branches may get caught in the saw
chain and they can fly out uncontrolled.

• Make sure that you can stand firmly and

safely in each work position. When work-
ing on a sloping subsurface, be especially
careful!

• Always hold the device firmly in both

hands. Use your right hand to grip the
rear handle, your left hand to grip the
other handle, even if you are left-handed.
Do not let go of the handles!

• When the saw is running, keep all body

parts away from the saw chain. Make
sure before starting the saw that the saw
chain does not touch anything.

• Never saw above shoulder height! Do not

lean forward or back!

• Always ensure that you are standing

firmly and only use the chain saw when
you are standing on stable, firm and level
ground. A slippery subsurface or instable
standing area such as on a ladder can
cause you to lose your balance or lose
control over the chain saw.

• Do not stretch your arms too far forwards.
• Never work on ladders, on trees or in

other positions in which you cannot stand
safely.

• Take care when walking backwards.

Danger of stumbling!

• Always saw at a high chain speed.
• Do not saw any wood which is under ten-

sion.

• Do not work alone! Ensure that you have

an aural, visual or other connection with
another person who is in a position to
administer first aid in emergency situa-
tions.

• When putting the device down, the motor

must always be switched off!

• With each change of location, switch the

motor off and activate the chain brake.
The device may only be carried with the
saw rail facing towards the back and a
protective cover on.
