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.
Notes on working practice
Kickback (Fig 7)
You can avoid accidents by not sawing with
the tip of the guide bar as this may cause the
saw to rear up suddenly.
Always use the complete safety equipment
and clothes when working with the saw.
Kickback is an upward and/or backward
movement of the guide bar which can occur if the
saw chain at the tip of the guide bar encounters
an obstruction.
Make sure your work-piece is firmly secured. Use
clamps to stop the work-piece slipping. This also
makes it easier to operate the chainsaw with both
hands.
Kickback causes the saw to behave uncontrollably
and thus brings with a slack or blunt chain. A
poorly sharpened chain increases the risk of
kickback. Never saw above shoulder height.
Tips on chain saw use
Sawing up wood (Fig 6a, 6b)
To saw up wood, please observe the safety
regulations and proceed as follows: Make sure
the wood to be sawed cannot slip. Clamp short
pieces of wood in place before sawing. Saw only
wood or wooden objects. When sawing, make
sure that no stones or nails are touched as these
could be thrown out and damage the saw chain.
Avoid bringing the running saw into contact with
wire fences or the ground. When lopping off
branches, support the chainsaw as far as possible
and do not saw with the tip of the guide bar. Watch
out for obstacles such as tree stumps, roots,
ditches and hillocks as these could cause you to
fall.
Position the chainsaw in such a way that your
body is clear of the cutting attachment whenever
the saw is running. Stand to the left of cut while
bucking (Fig 6a).
Don't put pressure on the saw when reaching the
end of a cut. The pressure may cause the bar
and rotating chain to pop out of the cut or kerf, go
out of control and strike the operator or some
other object. If the rotating chain strikes some
other object, a reactive force may cause the
moving chain to strike the operator.
Remember:
The chainsaw must be running before it comes
into contact with the wood.
To switch on: Press the safety lock-off and ON/OFF
switch on. Place the lowest claw (Fig 6b) on the
wood. Raise the chain saw by the rear grip and
saw into the wood. Move the chain saw back a
little and place the claw further down. Be
careful when sawing splintered wood as pieces of
wood may be ripped off.
