• After switching on, the chainsaw will run immediately
at high speed. To switch off:
Release either the ON/OFF switch (14) on the rear grip
or the other switch (2) on the front grip.
The release of the ON/OFF will result in the chainsaw
stopping within 1 sec.
• After working with the chainsaw, you should always:
Clean the saw and guide bar and replace the chain-
guard.
CHAINSAW PROTECTION
• Never use the chainsaw in the rain or in damp condi-
tions.
• If the extension cable is damaged switch the mains
power off and 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 work-
ing 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 chain-
saw 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 operat-
ing instructions.
NOTES ON WORKING PRACTICE
KICK-BACK (See fig.8)
• 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.
• Kick-back 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.
• Kick-back causes the saw to behave uncontrollably
and therefore increases the chances of the chain
becoming slack or blunt. A poorly sharpened chain
increases the risk of kick-back. Never saw above
shoulder height.
TIPS ON CHAINSAW USE
SAWING UP WOOD (See fig.7A,7B)
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.
REMEMBER:
The chainsaw must be running before it comes
into contact with the wood. To switch on:
• Press the safety lock-off (12) and ON/OFF switch
on (14).
• Place the lowest claw stop(See fig.4,J) on the wood.
• Raise the chainsaw by the front grip (3) and saw into
the wood.
• Move the chainsaw back a little and place the claw
stop further down. Be careful when sawing splin-
tered wood as pieces of wood may be ripped off.
