suitable training sessions. The notes here
serve only as a complement!

Here’s how to saw correctly!
•
Search the work area and remove objects
which are in your way.
•
When you begin work, check the safety of
the device (
►
Check before starting! –
p. 59 ).
• Take the device in both hands as
instructed.
Risk of kickback!
Kickbacks occur if the upper edge or tip of the
saw rail touch wood or other hard objects.
The device is thrown with high energy back
and forth, which can cause extremely severe
injuries.
Avoid letting the area of the saw rail depicted
on the right touch wood or other hard objects.
In order to reduce the risk of injury in case of
a kickback, the device is equipped with a
chain brake which is triggered automatically
on impact and which stops the saw chain
immediately.
For safety reasons, the functionality of the
chain brake must be checked each time
before the device is used (
►
Checking the
chain brake – p. 57 ).
With less strong kickbacks, it can happen that
the chain brake is not triggered automatically.
For this reason it is important that the device
be held fast with both hands.
Only a careful and correct working method
can reduce the risk of a kickback reliably!
DANGER! Risk of injury! The
device must only be put into opera-
tion if no faults are found. If any part
of the device is defective, it must be
replaced before the next use.

DANGER! Risk of injury! When

chain brake must be checked to
ensure that it is functioning correctly.
