● Always stand to the side of the tree being felled.
● When the tree is being felled, watch out for falling branches when stepping back.
● On slopes the saw operator should stand to the upper or left or right side the trunk
or lying tree, never to the bottom side.
● Watch out for trunks rolling towards you. Kickback!
● The power saw is likely to recoil if the tip of the guide bar (especially the top quarter)
accidentally touches wood or any other solid objects. In this case the saw will move
uncontrolled and will be hurled towards the operator at full power (risk of injury!). In
order to prevent kick-back, please follow these safety instructions:
● Never start cutting with the tip of the guide bar!
● Never cut with the tip of the guide bar! Be careful, when continuing cuts you are
already working on!
● Always start cuts with the chainsaw already running!
● Make sure that the saw chain is always properly sharpened.
●Never cut through more than one branch at a time! When lopping off branches, be
careful not to touch any other branches.
●When cross-cutting, pay attention to trunks standing very close to each other. If
possible use a saw-horse. Transporting the chainsaw Before transporting the chainsaw,
always remove the plug from the power socket and slide the chain guard over the rail
and chain. If several cuts are to be performed with the chain saw, the saw must be
switched off between cuts.
Before starting up
The voltage and current supply must comply with the ratings on the type plate. Before
commencing work, always check that the chainsaw works properly and is safe to operate.
Check also that the chain lubrication and the oil gauge are in good working order. When
the oil lever is approx. 5 mm from the bottom mark, you must top up with oil. When the
oil level is above this mark you can work without worry. Switch on the chain saw and hold
it above the ground. Be careful not allow the chainsaw to touch the ground. For safety
reasons it is best to keep a clearance of at least 20 cm. If you now see growing traces of
oil, the chain lubrication system is working correctly. If there are no traces of oil at all, try
cleaning the oil outlet, the upper chain tensioning borehole (E) and the oil duct, or contact
your Customer Service. (Be sure to read the section "Filling in chain oil and chain lubrica-
tion" on this point). Check the chain tension and retention if necessary (see the section
"Tensioning the saw chain" on this point). Make sure the chain brake is working properly
(see also the section "Releasing the chain brake").
Assembling the guide bar and saw chain
The chainsaw must be unplugged. Important: The front finger guard (3) must always
be in the top (vertical) position (Fig. 5). The guide bar and saw chain are supplied
separately. To assemble, first unscrew the lock knob (5) and remove the guide bar cover
(6). The chain tensioning bolt (18) must be in the center of the guide. If necessary,
adjust the chain tensioning bolt with the screw (16).
