•
Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent unin-
tended tip contact and enables better control
of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
•
Only use replacement bars and chains spec-
ified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replace
-
ment bars and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
•
Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead
to increased kickback.
13.
Before starting work, check that the chain
saw is in proper working order and that its
condition complies with the safety regulations.
Check in particular that:
•
The chain brake is working properly;
•
The run-down brake is working properly;
•
The bar and the sprocket cover are fitted
correctly;
•
The chain has been sharpened and ten-
sioned in accordance with the regulations.

the chain cover to thrown out forward resulting in
personal injury and damage to objects around the
operator.

This chain saw is designed especially for tree
care and surgery. The chain saw is intended
to be used by properly trained persons only.
Observe all instructions, procedures and rec-
ommendations from the relevant professional
organization. Otherwise fatal accidents may
occur. It is recommend that always using a
rising platform (cherry picker, lift) for sawing
in trees. Rappelling techniques are extremely
dangerous and require special training. The
operators must be trained to become familiar
with safety equipment usage and climbing
techniques. Always use the appropriate belts,
ropes and carabiners when working in trees.
Always use restraining equipment for both the
operator and the saw.
2.
Perform cleaning and maintenance before
storage in accordance with the instruction
manual.
3.
Ensure safe positioning of the chain saw
during car transportation to avoid fuel or chain
oil leakage, damage to the tool and personal
injury.

Regularly check the functionality of chain
brake.
5.
Do not fill the chain oil near fire. Never smoke
when you fill the chain oil.
6.
National regulation may restrict the use of the
chain saw.
7.
If the equipment gets heavy impact or fall,
check the condition before continuing work.
Check the controls and safety devices for mal-
function. If there is any damage or doubt, ask
our authorized service center for the inspec-
tion and repair.
8.
Always activate the chain brake before starting
the chain saw.
