• Never use the chainsaw if it has a defective
ON/OFF-switch.
• Use the cable only for its proper purpose. Never
carry your electric tool by its cable. Do not use the
cable to pull the plug out of the socket. Protect the
cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Use only authorised and accordingly labelled exten-
sion cables. Use a strong support when sawing
converted timber and thin branches (saw-horses, see
fig.7b). Do not stack the timber and do not have it
held by a second person or with your foot.
• Logs must be secured in position.
• On sloping ground, always work facing upwards.
• Always set the claw stop (II) against the timber before
switching on the chainsaw (See fig.7b). Pull the
chainsaw upwards at the rear and lead the direction
with the front grip. Use the claw stop as a fulcrum.
To reposition for further cutting, interrupt the sawing
process and exert a slight pressure on the front
grip. Pull the saw back a little, position the claw stop
further down the cut and pull up the rear grip (See
fig.7a).
• Pull the saw out of the wood only when the saw
chain is running.
• If you carry out several cuts, switch off the chainsaw
in-between.
• Plunge cuts and horizontal cuts may only be carried
out by professionals (high risk of kickback , see Fig.8)
• For horizontal cuts, position the smallest possible
angle. This requires extreme caution, as the claw stop
cannot be applied in this case.
• If the chain gets stuck when sawing with the upper
side it may be thrust towards the operator. For this
reason you should saw wherever possible with the
bottom side, as the chainsaw will then be thrust away
from the body towards the wood (See fig.9 and 10).
• Pay extra attention when cutting splintered wood.
Sawed off pieces of wood may be catapulted in any
direction (risk of injury!).
• When lopping branches, the chainsaw should be
supported wherever possible against the trunk. Do
not cut with the tip of the guide bar (risk of kick-back,
see Fig.8)
• Branch lopping work should be carried out by trained
personnel! Risk of injury!
• Pay special attention to branches under tension. Do
not cut through freely suspended branches from
underneath.
• Never stand on the a fallen tree when lopping off
branches.
• The chainsaw should not be used for forest work,
i.e. for felling and lopping off branches in the forest.
Because of the cable connection the saw operator
does not have the necessary mobility and his safety
is not guaranteed!
• Always stand to the side of the tree being felled.
• When the tree is being felled, watch out for falling
branches when stepping back.
• Watch out for trunks rolling towards you. KICK-BACK!
• The chainsaw is likely to recoil if the tip of the guide
bar (especially the top guarter) accidentally touches
wood or any other solid objects. In this case the
chain saw will move uncontrollably and will be
kicked-back towards the operator at full power (risk
of injury!)
In order to prevent kick-back, please follow these
safety instructions:
• Never start cutting with the tip of the guide bar!
• Be careful, when continuing cuts you are already
working on!
• Always start cuts with the chainsaw already running!
• Make sure that the saw chain is always properly
sharpened.
• Never cut through more than one branch at a time!
When lopping off branches, be careful not to touch
any other branches.
• When cross-cutting, pay attention to trunks standing
very close to each other. If possible use a saw-horse.
