Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not
entended. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting
plstic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of
the chain saw for operations different than intended could
result in a hazardous situtation.
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 of 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 unintended 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.

„Electrical safety"
Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60245 (H
07 RN-F) with a core cross-section of at least
1.5 mm² for cable lengths up to 25 m
2.5 mm² for cable lengths over 25 m
Long and thin connection lines result in a voltage drop. The
motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the
function of the device is reduced.
Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be
made of rubber, non-rigid PVC or other thermoplastic
material of same mechanical stability or be covered with this
material.
The connector of the connection cable must be splash-
proof.
When running the connection line observe that it does not
interfere, is not squeezed, bended and the plug connection
does not get wet.
During the cutting operation, the supply cord must be
securely positioned to prevent the cord from snagged on
branches and the like.
Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not meant.
Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges.
Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum.
Regularly check the cables and replace them if they are
damaged.
Do not use any defective connection cables.
Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.
Do not hose down the device with water. (origin of danger
electric current).
Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them.
Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit
breaker (30 mA).
The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts
of the machine must be carried out by a certified
electrician or one of our customer service points.
Local regulations – especially regarding protective
measures – must be observed.
If the power cord of this machine is damaged, it must
be replaced by a specific power cord that can be
purchased from the customer service.
„Personal safety"
Primary users
Persons working for the first time with the chain saw must
obtain a practical instruction on the use of the chain saw and
the operator protection equipment by an experienced
operating person. Primary users shall first of all practice
cutting of round timber on a sawhorse or a rack.
Minors are not allowed to work with the chain saw.
This device is not intended to be used by persons (including
children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental abilities
or a lack of experience and/or know-how unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety or they
have been instructed by such a person on the use of the
device.
Children must be supervised to make sure that they do not
play with the device.
The chain saw shall only be operated by persons with
sufficient experience.
Give or lend the chain saw only to persons who are familiar
with the chain saw and its operation. Give always the
operating instruction to take with them.
The operator is responsible for accidents or risks which occur
to other persons or their properties.
Wear suitable protective equipment when working:
Hairnet in case of long hair
Visor
Cut-proof trousers and gloves
