2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
These operating instructions describe a hand-op-
erated chain saw that is powered by a petrol en-
gine.

the chain saw can be used for wood sawing
work, e.g. for:

Further applications, such as professional tree
care within a tree, are expressly excluded. The
operator is liable for any damage caused by im-
proper operation. It is only permitted to use the
saw chains and bar combinations stated in the
operating instructions for this device. Any other
application not in accordance with the designated
use described here shall be regarded as misuse.
The chain saw must not be used in the commer-
cial sector.

ed use!
If wood or other substances embedded
with foreign bodies are sawn with the
chain saw, injury can result.

Before sawing wood, check for for-
eign bodies, e.g. nails, screws, fit-
tings.
