10 ENGLISH

9. 

Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-

sioning and changing accessories.

 Improperly 

tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or 

increase the chance for kickback.

10. 

Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and 

grease.

 Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing 

loss of control.

11. 

Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for pur-

poses not intended.

 For example: do not use 

chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-

wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for 

operations different than intended could result in a 

hazardous situation.

12. 

Causes and operator prevention of kickback:

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide 

bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and 

pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some 

cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the 

guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching 

the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push 

the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either 

of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the 

saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not 

rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your 

saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps 

to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect 

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided 

by taking proper precautions as given below:

• 

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 precautions 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 spec

-

ified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replace

-

ment 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.

Additional Safety Warnings:

1. 

When using the tool with battery adapter, be careful 

not to trip over the cord during operation.

2. 

When using the tool with battery adapter, keep 

the cord away from obstacles such as a work-

piece and branches during operation.

 The cord 

caught by obstacles may cause serious injury.

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 instruc-

tions, procedures and recommendations from the 

relevant professional organization. Otherwise fatal 

accidents may occur. It is recommend that always 

using a rising platform (cherry picker, lift) for saw-

ing in trees. Rappelling techniques are extremely 

dangerous and require special training. The opera-

tors 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 leakage, 

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 when-

ever working with the chain saw. The 

protective 

helmet

 is to be checked in regular intervals for 

damage and is to be replaced after 5 years at the 

latest. Use only approved protective helmets.
