Do not work alone – keep within calling 

distance of others in case help is 

needed.
Be particularly alert and cautious when 

wearing hearing protection because 

your ability to hear warnings (shouts, 

alarms, etc.) is restricted.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a 

break in good time to avoid tiredness or 

exhaustion.
The dusts (e.g. sawdust) produced 

during operation may be dangerous to 

health. If dust levels are very high, wear 

a suitable respirator.
Your power tool is equipped with a 

system designed to quickly stop the saw 

chain – it comes to an immediate 

standstill as soon as you release the 

trigger switch.
Check this function at regular short 

intervals. Do not operate your chain saw 

if the chain continues to run after you 

release the trigger switch – see 

"Coasting Brake" – risk of injury. Contact 

your servicing dealer.
Never jerk the connecting cord to 

disconnect it from the wall outlet. To 

unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Be sure your hands are dry before 

touching the plug or power cord.

Check the saw chain at regular short 

intervals during operation or 

immediately if there is a noticeable 

change in cutting behavior:

Switch off the motor, wait for the 

chain to come to a standstill, 

disconnect the plug from the power 

supply.

Check condition and proper 

mounting.

Check sharpness.

Do not touch the chain while the engine 

is running. If the chain becomes jammed 

by an obstacle, switch off the motor 

immediately and disconnect the plug 

from the power supply before attempting 

to free the obstruction.
Always switch off the motor and remove 

the plug it from the wall outlet before 

replacing the chain. This avoids the risk 

of injury from the chain starting 

unintentionally.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke 

while operating or standing near your 

power tool.
Always unplug your power tool from the 

wall outlet when it is not in use – this 

helps avoid accidential start-up. 
If your power tool is subjected to 

unusually high loads for which it was not 

designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall), 

always check that it is in good condition 

before continuing work – see also 

"Before Starting Work".
Make sure the safety devices are 

working properly. Do not continue 

operating your power tool if it is 

damaged. In case of doubt, have the unit 

checked by your servicing dealer.

Reactive Forces

The most common reactive forces that 

occur during cutting are: kickback, 

pushback and pull-in.

Dangers of kickback

Kickback occurs when the saw is 

suddenly thrown up and back in an 

uncontrolled arc towards the operator.

Kickback can result in 

serious or fatal injury.
