11. Do not cut trees with this chainsaw unless you
have the relevant training.
12. The overall maintenance of this chainsaw, apart
from the points specified in this manual and these
maintenance instructions, must be carried out by
an authorised customer service.
13. For transport and storage of the chainsaw, fit the
blade cover to the chain bar.
14. Do not work with the chainsaw next to or in the
presence of flammable liquids or gases, neither
indoors nor outdoors. There is a risk of explosion
and/or fire.
15. Do not fill with fuel, oil or lubricant when the
chainsaw is running.
16. Only cut suitable material: Only cut timber. Do not
use the chainsaw for work for which it is not suit-
able. Do not use the chainsaw for cutting plas-
tic, masonry or building materials which are not
made of wood, for example.
17. The power tool produces poisonous exhaust
fumes as soon as the motor starts. Never work in
closed or badly-ventilated rooms.
18. In order to locate significant damage or faults, it
is necessary to inspect the machine before use
and in case you drop it.
19. If liquid is spilled when filling the oil or fuel tank,
the machine must be cleaned before use.
As a chainsaw user, you must follow several
points in order to carry out your sawing work
without accidents and injuries.
1. A basic understanding of kickback can reduce or
exclude the element of surprise. Sudden rash re-
actions can lead to accidents.
2. When the motor is running, hold on to the saw
tightly with both hands, with the right hand on the
handle at the back and the left hand on the han-
dle at the front. Thumbs and fingers must firm-
ly clasp the chainsaw's handles. A secure hold
helps you to absorb kickback and keep the saw
under control. Do not let go.
3. Ensure that the area where you are cutting is free
from obstacles. The tip of the chain bar must not
come in contact with tree trunks, branches and
similar when cutting with the saw.
4. Use a fast motor speed.
5. Do not lean too far forwards and do not cut above
your shoulder height.
6. Sharpen and maintain the chainsaw in accord-
ance with the manufacturer's instructions.
7. If the tool becomes jammed during cutting, it has
to be turned off immediately and freed carefully.
Afterwards, the machine has to be checked for
damage (e.g. bent chain bar) and a test run has
to be carried out.

8. For felling or cutting to length, the spike bar (claw
stop) must be applied to the wood to be cut. Us-
ing the spike bar is also recommended when
sawing thick branches.
9. Position the spike bar tight each time before cut-
ting to length and only saw into the wood once
the chainsaw is running. Then use the rear han-
dle to raise the chainsaw and the front handle to
guide it. The spike bar acts as a pivot point. Apply
light pressure to the front handle to re-position.
To do this, pull the saw slightly backwards. Insert
the spike bar deeper and use the rear handle to
lift the saw again.
Only use a permissible combination of saw chain
and guide rail
The cutting set supplied as standard is optimised for
the chainsaw.
When pairing components that do not match, the cut-
ting set can be irreparably damaged after just a short
time and cause injuries.
m NOTICE
The following information is mainly for the end user
or the infrequent user. This chainsaw has been de-
signed for occasional use by home owners, garden
owners and campers, for general work such as clear-
ing, cutting firewood etc. It is not intended for longer
work. During longer work, because of vibrations,
there is a risk of circulation problems in the user's
hands (white-finger-syndrome). White-finger-syn-
drome is a vascular disease where the small blood
vessels in fingers and toes contract seizure-like. The
affected areas are no longer supplied with blood and
therefore look very pale. Frequent use of vibrating
machines can cause nerve damage in people whose
circulation is compromised (e.g. smokers, people
with diabetes).
If you notice unusual impairment, immediately stop
the work and consult a doctor. Observe the following
notices in order to reduce risks:
• Keep your body, and particularly your hands, warm
in cold weather.
• Take regular breaks during which you should move
your hands to promote circulation.
• Ensure the lowest possible vibration of the ma-
chine by regularly maintaining it and keeping com-
ponents tight.
5.2 Personal safety
• Never use only one hand when using the saw!
Otherwise there is a risk that operating staff, help-
ers or onlookers may get injured. A chainsaw has
been designed for use with both hands.
