Chain guard
The chain guard must be clipped onto the chain and sword as soon as the sawing work has been
completed and whenever the chainsaw has to be transported.
Chain brake
In the event of kick-back, the chain brake (3) will be actuated via the front finger guard. The front finger
guard is pushed forwards by the back of the hand and this causes the chain brake to stop the chain saw,
or rather the motor, within 0.12 seconds (Fig 5, I).
Releasing the chain brake (Fig 5)
To be able to use your chain saw again, you must release the saw chain brake. First switch off the chain-
saw and push the front finger guard (3) back into the vertical position until it locks in place (Fig 5, H). The
chain brake is now fully functional again.
Sharpening the saw chain
You can have your saw chain sharpened fast and correctly by specialist dealers, from whom you can also
obtain chain sharpening equipment to enable you to sharpen the chain yourself. Please follow the corre-
sponding operating instructions.
Take care of your tools. Keep your tools sharp and clean to enable you to work well and safely. Follow the
maintenance regulations and the instructions for changing tools
Starting up
Always wear safety goggles, ear muffs, protective gloves and heavy-duty work clothes!
Use the saw only with approved extension cables with the prescribed insulation and connections
designed for outdoor use (approved rubber-sheathed cables) which fit the chainsaw plug. The chain saw
is equipped with a two-handed safety switch. The chainsaw works only when one hand holds the front
grip (2) and the other hand actuates the switch on the rear grip (1).
If the chainsaw does not run, the chain brake must be released at the front finger guard (3). Be sure to
read the sections “Chain brake” and “Releasing the chain brake “ on this point.
After switching on, the chainsaw will run immediately at high speed .
To switch off: Release either the ON/OFF switch (13) on the rear grip or the other switch (2) on the rear
grip.
The release of ON/OFF switch results the stop of the chainsaw within 2sec., and heavy sparkling. This is
normal and safe for the proper operation of the chainsaw.
After working with the chainsaw, you should always: Clean the saw chain and guide bar and replace
the chain guard.
Chainsaw protection
Never use the chainsaw in the rain or in damp conditions.
If the extension cable is damaged, pull the plug out of the power socket immediately. Never work
with a damaged cable.
Check the chainsaw for damage. Before using your tool again, check the safety devices or any slightly
damaged parts to ensure that they are in good working order. Make sure the moving parts are working
correctly. All the parts must be correctly assembled and meet all the conditions required to ensure that
the chainsaw works correctly. Any damaged safety devices and parts must be properly repaired or
replaced immediately by a Customer Service workshop, unless there are instructions to the contrary
in these operating instructions.
