— Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chain saw handles,
with both hands on the saw and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper precau-
tions are taken. Do not let go of the chain
saw.

—
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
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement 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;
14. Do not start the chain saw with the chain cover
being installed on it. Starting the chain saw with the
chain cover being installed on it may cause the chain
cover to thrown out forward resulting in personal
injury and damage to objects around the operator.

warnings
1. 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 recommenda-
tions from the relevant professional organiza-
tion. 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 leak-
age, damage to the tool and personal injury.
4. 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 malfunction. If
there is any damage or doubt, ask our authorized
service center for the inspection and repair.
8. Always activate the chain brake before starting the
chain saw.
9. Hold the saw firmly in place to avoid skating (skid
movement) or bouncing of the saw when starting a
cut.
10. At the end of the cut, be careful to keep your
balance due to the “drop”.
11. Take into account the direction and speed of the
wind. Avoid sawdust and chain oil mist.
Protective equipment
1. In order to avoid head, eye, hand or foot
injuries as well as to protect your hearing the
following protective equipment must be used
during operation of the chain saw:
— The kind of clothing should be appropriate,
i. e. it should be tight-fitting but not be a
hindrance. Do not wear jewelry or clothing
which could become entangled with bushes
or shrubs. If you have long hair, always wear
a hairnet!
— It is necessary to wear a protective helmet
whenever working with the chain saw. The
protective helmet is to be checked in regu-
lar intervals for damage and is to be replaced
after 5 years at the latest. Use only approved
protective helmets.
— The face shield of the protective helmet (or
the goggles) protects against sawdust and
wood chips. During operation of the chain
saw always wear a goggle or a face shield to
prevent eye injuries.
— Wear adequate noise protection equip-
ment (ear muffs, ear plugs, etc.).
— The
protective jacket
consists of 22 layers
of nylon and protects the operator against
cuts. It is always to be worn when working
from elevated platforms (cherry pickers,
lifts), from platforms mounted on ladders or
when climbing with ropes.
— The protective brace and bib overall is
made of a nylon fabric with 22 layers and
protects against cuts. We strongly recom-
mend its use.
— Protective gloves made of thick leather are
part of the prescribed equipment and must
always be worn during operation of the chain
saw.
— During operation of the chain saw safety
shoes or safety boots fitted with anti skid
sole, steel toe caps and protection for the
leg must always to be worn. Safety shoes
equipped with a protective layer provide
protection against cuts and ensure a secure
footing. For working in trees the safety boots
must be suitable for climbing techniques.
