-  Before starting the chain saw ensure that you have a safe 

footing.

-  Put the chain saw into operation only as described in this 

instruction manual 

(Fig. 9)

. Other starting methods are not 

allowed.

-  When starting the chain saw it must be well supported 

and securely held. The guide bar and chain must not be in 
contact with any object.

- 

When working with the chain saw always hold it with 
both hands.

 Take the back handle with the right hand and 

the tubular handle with the left hand. Hold the handles 
tightly with your thumbs facing your 

¿

ngers.

- 

CAUTION: When releasing the throttle lever the chain 
will keep on running for a short period of time

 (free-

wheeling

.

-  Continuously ensure that you have a safe footing.
-  Hold the chain saw such that you will not breathe in the 

exhaust gas. 

'

o not work in closed rooms (danger of 

poisoning

.

- 

Switch off the chain saw immediately if you observe 
any changes in its operating behavior.

- 

The engine must be switched off before checking the 
chain tension, tightening the chain, replacing it or 
clearing malfunctions

(Fig. 10)

.

-  When the sawing device is hit by stones, nails or other 

hard objects, switch off the engine immediately and check 
the sawing device. If the chain saw is exposed to force, 
such as through impact or falling, inspect the entire chain 
saw for proper functioning.

-  When stopping work or leaving the working place, switch 

off the chain saw 

(Fig. 10)

 and put it down such that 

nobody is endangered.

- 

CAUTION:

 Oil dropping from the chain or guide bar after 

having stopped the saw chain will pollute the soil. Always 
use an appropriate base.

3-6. Kickback 

-  When working with the chain saw dangerous kickbacks 

may occur.

-  Kickback occurs when the upper part of the end of the 

guide bar inadvertently touches wood or other hard 
objects 

(Fig. 11)

.

-  This causes the saw to be thrown back toward the user 

with great force and out of control. 

Risk of injury!

In order to prevent kickback, follow these rules:

-  Only specially-trained persons should perform plunge 

cuts, i.e., piercing timber or wood with the tip of the saw!

-  Never apply the end of the bar when starting to make a 

cut. 

-  Always observe the end of the guide bar. Be careful when 

continuing an already started cut.

-  When starting to cut the chain must be running.
-  Ensure that the chain is always sharpened correctly. Pay 

special attention to the height of the depth limiter.

-  Never cut several branches at the same time. When 

cutting a branch ensure that no other branch is touched.

-  When crosscutting a trunk be aware of the trunks next to it.  

3-7. Working behavior/Method of working

-  Only use the chain saw during good light and visibility 

periods. Be aware of slippery or wet areas, and of ice and 
snow (risk of slipping

. The risk of slipping is extremely 

high when working on recently peeled wood (bark

.

-  Never work on unstable surfaces. Make sure that there 

are no obstacles in the working area, risk of stumbling. 

Always ensure that you have a safe footing.

-  Never saw above your shoulder height 

(Fig. 12)

.

-  Never saw while standing on a ladder 

(Fig. 12)

.

-  Never climb up into trees to perform sawing with the chain 

saw.

- 

'

o not work leaning too far over.

-  Guide the chain saw in such a way that no part of your 

body is within the elongated swivelling range of the saw 

(Fig. 13)

.

-  Use the chain saw for sawing wood only.
-  Avoid touching the ground with the chain saw while it is 

still running.

-  Never use the chain saw for lifting up or removing pieces 

of wood or other objects.

-  Remove foreign objects such as sand, stones and nails 

found within the working area. Foreign objects may 
damage the sawing device and can cause dangerous 
kickback.

-  When sawing precut timber use a safe support (sawing 

jack, 

Fig. 14

. 

'

o not steady the workpiece with your foot, 

and do not allow anyone else to hold or steady it.

-  Secure round pieces against rotation.
- 

For cutting down trees or performing crosscuts the 
spike bar

 (

Fig. 14

, 

=

must be applied to the wood to 

be cut.

-  Before performing a 

crosscut

¿

rmly apply the spike bar to 

the timber, only then can the timber be cut with the chain 
running. For this the chain saw is lifted at the back handle 
and guided with the tubular handle. The spike bar serves 
as a centre of rotation. Continue by slightly pressing down 
the tubular handle and simultaneously pulling back the 
chain saw. Apply the spike bar a little bit deeper and once 
again lift the back handle.

- 

When the timber must be pierced for cutting or 
longitudinal cuts are to be performed it is urgently 
recommended to have this carried out by specially 
trained persons only 

(high risk of kickback

. 

-  When starting a cut, the blade can slip to the side or jump 

slightly. This depends on the wood and the condition of 
the chain. 

Therefore, always hold the chain saw with 

both hands.

- 

'

o 

longitudinal - lengthwise - cuts

 at the lowest 

possible angle 

(Fig. 15)

. Be very careful when doing this 

type of cut, as the spike bar cannot grip.

-  The saw must be running whenever you remove the chain 

saw from the wood.

-  When performing several cuts the throttle lever must be 

released in between.

-  Be careful when cutting splintery wood. Cut pieces of 

wood may be pulled along (risk of injuries

.

-  When cutting with the upper edge of the guide bar, the 

chain saw may be pushed in the direction of the user if the 
chain gets clamped. For this reason use the lower edge 
of the bar whenever possible. The chain saw will then be 
pushed away from you 

(Fig. 16)

.

-  If the timber is under tension 

(Fig. 17)

, 

¿

rst cut the 

pressure side (A

. Then the crosscut can be performed on 

the tension side (B

. Thus clamping of the guide bar can 

be avoided.

-  At the end of the cut the weight of the chain saw will 

cause it to swing through, since it is no longer held by the 
cut. Hold it 

¿

rmly to control this. 

CAUTION:
People felling trees or cutting of branches must be 
specially trained. High risk of injuries!

-  When cutting of branches, the chain saw should be 

supported on the trunk. 

'

o not use the end of the bar for 

cutting (risk of kickback

.

-  Be aware of branches under tension. 

'

o not cut free 

branches from below.

-  Never perform detensioning cuts while standing on the 

trunk.
