— 

Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and 

fingers encircling the chain saw handles, 

with both hands on the saw and position 

your body and arm to allow you to resist 

kickback forces.

 Kickback forces can be 

controlled by the operator, if proper precau-

tions are taken. Do not let go of the chain 

saw.

— 

Do not overreach and do not cut above 

shoulder height.

 This helps prevent unin-

tended tip contact and enables better control 

of the chain saw in unexpected situations.

— 

Only use replacement bars and chains 

specified by the manufacturer.

 Incorrect 

replacement bars and chains may cause 

chain breakage and/or kickback.

— 

Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening 

and maintenance instructions for the saw 

chain.

 Decreasing the depth gauge height 

can lead to increased kickback.

13.  Before starting work, check that the chain saw 

is in proper working order and that its condition 

complies with the safety regulations. Check in 

particular that:
• 

The chain brake is working properly;

• 

The run-down brake is working properly;

• 

The bar and the sprocket cover are fitted 

correctly;

• 

The chain has been sharpened and ten-

sioned in accordance with the regulations;

14. 

Do not start the chain saw with the chain cover 

being installed on it.

 Starting the chain saw with the 

chain cover being installed on it may cause the chain 

cover to thrown out forward resulting in personal 

injury and damage to objects around the operator.

Top handle chainsaw specific safety 

warnings

1.  This chain saw is designed especially for tree 

care and surgery. The chain saw is intended to be 

used by properly trained persons only. Observe 

all instructions, procedures and recommenda-

tions from the relevant professional organiza-

tion. Otherwise fatal accidents may occur. It is 

recommend that always using a rising platform 

(cherry picker, lift) for sawing in trees. Rappelling 

techniques are extremely dangerous and require 

special training. The operators must be trained to 

become familiar with safety equipment usage and 

climbing techniques. Always use the appropriate 

belts, ropes and carabiners when working in trees. 

Always use restraining equipment for both the 

operator and the saw.

2.  Perform cleaning and maintenance before storage 

in accordance with the instruction manual.

3.  Ensure safe positioning of the chain saw during 

car transportation to avoid fuel or chain oil leak-

age, damage to the tool and personal injury.

4.  Regularly check the functionality of chain brake.

5.  Do not fill the chain oil near fire. Never smoke 

when you fill the chain oil.

6.  National regulation may restrict the use of the 

chain saw.

7.  If the equipment gets heavy impact or fall, check 

the condition before continuing work. Check the 

controls and safety devices for malfunction. If 

there is any damage or doubt, ask our authorized 

service center for the inspection and repair.

8.  Always activate the chain brake before starting the 

chain saw.

9.  Hold the saw firmly in place to avoid skating (skid 

movement) or bouncing of the saw when starting a 

cut.

10.  At the end of the cut, be careful to keep your 

balance due to the “drop”.

11.  Take into account the direction and speed of the 

wind. Avoid sawdust and chain oil mist.

Protective equipment

1. 

In order to avoid head, eye, hand or foot 

injuries as well as to protect your hearing the 

following protective equipment must be used 

during operation of the chain saw:

—  The kind of clothing should be appropriate, 

i. e. it should be tight-fitting but not be a 

hindrance. Do not wear jewelry or clothing 

which could become entangled with bushes 

or shrubs. If you have long hair, always wear 

a hairnet!

—  It is necessary to wear a protective helmet 

whenever working with the chain saw. The 

protective helmet

 is to be checked in regu-

lar intervals for damage and is to be replaced 

after 5 years at the latest. Use only approved 

protective helmets.

— The 

face shield

 of the protective helmet (or 

the goggles) protects against sawdust and 

wood chips. During operation of the chain 

saw always wear a goggle or a face shield to 

prevent eye injuries.

—  Wear adequate 

noise protection equip-

ment

 (ear muffs, ear plugs, etc.).

— The 

protective jacket

 consists of 22 layers 

of nylon and protects the operator against 

cuts. It is always to be worn when working 

from elevated platforms (cherry pickers, 

lifts), from platforms mounted on ladders or 

when climbing with ropes.

— The 

protective brace and bib overall

 is 

made of a nylon fabric with 22 layers and 

protects against cuts. We strongly recom-

mend its use.

— 

Protective gloves

 made of thick leather are 

part of the prescribed equipment and must 

always be worn during operation of the chain 

saw.

—  During operation of the chain saw 

safety 

shoes

 or 

safety boots

 fitted with anti skid 

sole, steel toe caps and protection for the 

leg must always to be worn. Safety shoes 

equipped with a protective layer provide 

protection against cuts and ensure a secure 

footing. For working in trees the safety boots 

must be suitable for climbing techniques.
