To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not operate your saw if it is damaged or
not properly assembled.
Starting the chain saw
Always work on a level surface. Ensure
a firm and secure footing. Hold the
machine securely – the chain must not
touch any objects or the floor – danger of
injury due to the rotating saw chain.
Your chain saw is a one-person saw. Do
not allow other persons to be in the
working area – not even while starting.
Do not start the chain saw if the chain is
in a cut.
Move at least 3 meters away from the
place where the machine was refuelled
and never start the motor in enclosed
spaces.
Lock the chain with the chain brake
before starting – risk of injury due to
rotating chain!
Do not drop-start the engine – start as
described in the Instruction Manual.
During operation
Ensure you always have a firm and safe
footing. Take special care when the bark
is wet – danger of slipping!
Always hold the chain saw firmly with
both hands: Right hand on the rear
handle – even if you are left-handed. To
ensure reliable control, wrap your
thumbs tightly around the handlebar and
handle.
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by moving the Master
Control lever / stop switch to STOP, 0 or
†
.
Never let the machine run unattended.
Exercise caution with slippery surfaces,
water, snow, ice, steep slopes, uneven
ground or green wood that has just been
stripped of its bark – danger of slipping!
Use caution with tree stumps, roots,
ditches – danger of stumbling!
Do not work alone – keep within calling
distance of others who are trained in
emergency procedures and can provide
help in an emergency. Helpers at the
cutting site must also wear protective
clothing (helmet!) and stand well clear of
the branches being cut.
More care and attention than usual are
required when wearing ear protection,
as warning sounds (shouts, beeps, etc.)
cannot be heard properly.
Take a break in good time to avoid
tiredness or exhaustion – risk of
accidents!
Dust (e. g., sawdust), fumes and smoke
produced while using the machine may
be hazardous to health. If dust is
generated, wear a dust mask.
When the engine is running: Note that
the saw chain continues to rotate for a
short period after you let go of the
throttle trigger – coasting effect.
No smoking when working with or near
the chain saw - risk of fire! Combustible
fuel vapour may escape from the fuel
system.
