Safety instructions
■ Only specialist personnel are allowed to saw
trunks that are thicker than the length of the
chain bar.
■ Never carry and transport the chain saw with
the saw chain running.
■ When changing position, switch off the motor
and put on the chain guard.

purpose.
■ Never lift or carry the chain saw with the
mains cable.
■ Do not pull the mains cable in order to pull the
mains plug out of the socket.
■ Protect the mains cable against damage and
dirt.
■ Only transport the chain saw by carrying it
with the handle - the chain bar must point
backwards during transport.
■ When chain saws are not in use, always put
on the chain guard and disconnect from the
mains.
■ Route the extension cable so that it cannot
become snagged during sawing.
■ Immediately switch off the chain saw and dis­
connect it from the mains if you notice any
changes.
■ Always keep a first-aid kit to hand in case of
accidents.
■ Make sure that no saw chain oil gets onto the

Danger o f kickback
DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury due to kickback!
Kickback can lead to fatal injuries!
Take measures to avoid kickback.
If kickback occurs, the chain saw is suddenly and
uncontrollably flung back towards the operator.
This situation arises in particular if the chain saw
encounters foreign bodies during work, or during
sawing with the tip of the chain bar.
Note the following points in order to avoid kick-
back:
■ Inspect the material to be sawn for foreign bo-
dies (nails, metal, etc.) and remove them.

■ Do not bend too far forward when working
with the chain saw.
■ Never cut off several branches at once.
■ Do not work unless the saw chain is correctly sharpened and tensioned.
■ Never operate the chain saw with outstret-
ched arms.
■ Start the cut with the saw chain running, and
only saw at full speed.
■ Do not saw with the tip of the chain bar.
■ Always keep the tip of the chain bar in sight.
■ Work with increased caution when continuing
cuts that have already been started.
■ Work with increased caution when cutting un-
dergrowth and young trees.
■ Do not saw when standing on a ladder or
above shoulder height.
■ Use the bumper spike for increased stability
when sawing.
