• Be particularly careful
when cutting brushwood
and young trees. The thin
material may become caught
in the saw chain and hit you or
cause you to lose balance.
• Carry the chainsaw by
the front handle when it
is switched off with the
saw chain pointing away
from your body. Always
place the protective cover
onto the chainsaw when
transporting or storing it.
Careful handling of the chain-
saw reduces the probability of
accidentally coming into contact
with the running saw chain.
• Observe the instructions
for lubrication, chain ten-
sioning and replacing ac-
cessories. An improperly ten-
sioned or lubricated chain may
rip apart or increase the risk of
kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean
and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles
are slippery and lead to loss of
control.
• Only saw wood. Do not
use the chainsaw for un-
intended applications -
example: do not use the
chainsaw to saw through
plastic, masonry or con-
struction materials not
made from wood. Use of
the chainsaw for unintended
applications can lead to hazar-
dous situations.
Kickback causes and how
to avoid them with pole-
mounted pruners
Caution - kickbacks! Be awa-
re that you may experience
kickback while working with
the device. There is a risk
of injury. Kickbacks can be
avoided through taking the
appropriate care and using
the correct sawing technique.

• Kickbacks may occur if the tip of
the guide rail touches an object,
or if the wood bends and the
saw chain gets caught in the cut
(see Fig. b).
• Under some circumstances,
contact with tip of the rails can
lead to an unexpected back-
wards reaction movement duri-
ng which the guide rails move
upwards and strike the operator
(see Fig. a).
• If the saw chain becomes stuck
along the top edge of the guide
rail, the rail can kick back heavi-
ly towards to the operator.
• Each of these reactions can lead
to you losing control of the saw
and potentially being seriously
injured. Do not rely exclusively on
the safety devices built into the
chainsaw. As user of the chain-
