Only cut timber. Do not use the chainsaw for work for which it is not suita-
ble. Do not use the chainsaw for cutting plastic, masonry or building ma-
terials which are not made of wood, for example.
17. The power tool produces poisonous exhaust fumes as soon as the motor
starts. Never work in closed or badly-ventilated rooms.
18. In order to locate significant damage or faults, it is necessary to inspect the
machine before use and after dropping or other impacts.
19. If liquid is spilled when filling the oil or fuel tank, the machine must be
cleaned before use.
20. National regulations may restrict the use of the appliance.
21. Petrol is highly flammable! When filling the tank, keep at a distance from
open flames and do not smoke. There is a risk of fire!
22. Fill the chain oil only when the engine is switched off and cooled down.
There is a risk of fire!
23. Only adjust guide-bar and chain with stopped engine
As a chainsaw user, you must follow several points in order to carry out
your sawing work without accidents and injuries.
1. A basic understanding of kickback can reduce or exclude the element of
surprise. Sudden rash reactions can lead to accidents.
2. When the motor is running, hold on to the saw tightly with both hands,
with the right hand on the handle at the back and the left hand on the
handle at the front. Thumbs and fingers must firmly clasp the chainsaw‘s
handles. A secure hold helps you to absorb kickback and keep the saw
under control. Do not let go.
3. Ensure that the area where you are cutting is free from obstacles. The tip
of the chain bar must not come in contact with tree trunks, branches and
similar when cutting with the saw.
4. Use a fast motor speed.
5. Do not lean too far forwards and do not cut above your shoulder height.
6. Sharpen and maintain the chainsaw in accordance with the manufactur-
er‘s instructions.
7. If the tool becomes jammed during cutting, it has to be turned off imme-
diately and freed carefully. Afterwards, the machine has to be checked for
damage (e.g. bent chain bar) and a test run has to be carried out.
8. For felling or cross-cutting, the spike bar (claw stop) must be applied to
the wood to be cut. The use of the spike bar is also recommended when
cutting through thick branches.
