►

Do not saw any wood which is under 
tension.

►

Do not work alone! Ensure that you 
have an aural, visual or other connec-
tion with another person who is in a 

position to administer first aid in emer

-

gency situations.

With each change of location, switch 
the motor off and activate the chain 
brake. 

The device may only be carried 

with the saw rail facing towards the back 
and a protective cover on.

Never operate the device in moist or 
wet environments.

►

Always keep the cable out of the work-
ing area of the device.

Causes and the possibility of 
eliminating the kickback of the 
saw:

– Kickback can occur when the tip of the 
guide bar comes into contact with an object or 
when the wood is bent,causing the saw chain 
to get caught in the kerf.
– If the tip of the tire touches a foreign object, 
it may lead in some cases to an unexpected 
and backward-directed kickback, in which the 
guide bar swings upwards in the direction of 
the operator.
– Pinching the top edge of the saw chain 
guide bar can cause the bar to quickly kick 
back in the direction of the operator.
– Any such reaction could result in loss of 
control of the saw and serious injury. Do not 
rely solely on the safety devices built into the 
saw. Chain saw users should take all possible 
precautions to ensure safe operation. Rico-
chet is the result of erroneous or incorrect use 
of a power tool. The latter can be prevented 
by appropriate precautions as described be-
low:

► Hold the saw firmly with both hands, mak

-

ing sure your fingers are well wrapped around 

the chain saw handles. Take this position 

and always keep your hands so that you can 
reliably resist recoil forces if necessary. Upon 
acceptance
With proper precautions, the operator can 
cope with kickback forces. Never let go of the 
switched on chain saw.

► Avoid unsuitable body positions and do not 

cut above shoulder height. This will prevent 
accidental contact of the bar tip with surround-
ing objects and provide better control of the 
chain saw in unforeseen situations.

► Always  use  only  spare  bars  and  saw 

chains specified by the manufacturer. Use of 

unsuitable guide bars and saw chains can 
cause chain breaks or kickback.

►  Follow  the  manufacturer’s  instructions 

for sharpening and maintenance of the saw 
chain. Depth gauges set too low increase the 
possibility of recoil.

Product Description and Specifi-
cations

Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions. 

Failure to follow the warn-

ings and instructions may result in electric 

shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Intended Use

Electric chain saw is designed for easy and 
fast sawing of fresh, dry and wet wood, chip-
boards, wood harvesting, and works in the 
garden of any level of complexity.An important 
advantage of the electric chain saw in com-
parison with the gasoline chain saw is the ab-
sence of exhaust gases and gasoline vapors, 
so that the electric chain saw can work even 
in unventilated areas.
