Do not allow other persons within a radius of
15 m of your own position due to falling branches
and ejected wood particles – Risk of injury! This
distance must also be maintained in relation to
objects (vehicles, window panes) – risk of prop‐
erty damage!

over from high-voltage cables at greater dis‐
tance. Have the power switched off before start‐
ing work in the immediate vicinity of power lines.
Ensure that the engine idling speed is correct.
The saw chain must not move when the throttle
trigger has been released.
Check and correct the idle speed setting at regu‐
lar intervals. If the saw chain still rotates, have
your dealer check your machine and make
proper adjustments or repairs – see the user
manual of the KombiEngine.
Take special care in slippery, wet conditions, in
snow and on slopes, uneven ground, etc. – Risk
of slipping!
The gear head becomes hot during
operation. To reduce the risk of burn

Watch out for obstacles: tree stumps, roots – risk
of tripping or stumbling!
Make sure you always have good balance and
secure footing.
