Causes of kickbacks and how to avoid
them:
A kickback can occur if the tip of the guide bar touches an object or the
wood to be cut pinches the bar inside the cut.
In some cases, touching an object with the tip of the bar may lead to an
unexpected, sudden backward movement, in the course of which the
guide bar is 'kicked' upwards and in the direction of the operator.
The pinching of the chain at the upper edge of the guide bar may fi erce-
ly throw the bar back in the direction of the operator.
In both cases, you may loose the control over the saw and get seriously
hurt. Do not exclusively rely on the chainsaw's built-in safety features.
As a user of a chainsaw you should take several precautions to continu-
ously work without having accidents or suff ering injuries.
A kickback is the result of a wrong or improper use of the power tool. It
may be avoided by taking the following proper precautions:
– Hold the saw with both hands with the thumbs and fi ngers
fi rmly embracing the handles of the chainsaw. Position your
body and arms such that you can withstand the power of a kick-
back. When proper precautions are taken the operator will be able
to control the power of a kickback. Never let go of the chainsaw!
– Avoid unusual postures and do not cut above shoulder height.
This avoids accidentally touching objects with the tip of the bar
and allows for a better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situ-
ations.
– Only use the replacement bars and chains prescribed by the
manufacturer. The use of wrong replacement bars and chains
may lead to chain breaks or kickbacks.
– Adhere to the manufacturer's instructions to sharpen and
maintain the chain. Depth limiters that are too low increase the
risk of a kickback.
Information about noise level and
vibrations
Values were measured in conformity with EN 60745:
Acoustic pressure level L
= 94 dB (A)
pA
Acoustic power L
= 107 dB (A)
wA
Measurement uncertainty K = 3 dB (A)
ATTENTION! Noise is generated during work!
Use ear protection!
Value of vibrations a
(sum of vectors in three directions) and uncertain-
h
ty K established in conformity with EN 60745:
Value of vibrations a
= 7,38 m/s
h,D
Measurement uncertainty K = 1,5 m/s
The emission values specifi ed (vibration, noise) were measured in ac-
cordance with the test conditions stipulated in EN 60745 and are intend-
ed for machine comparisons. They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise loads during operation.
The emission values specifi ed refer to the main applications for which
the power tool is used. If the electric power tool is used for other ap-
plications, with other tools or is not maintained suffi ciently prior to
operation, however, the vibration and noise load may be higher when
the tool is used.
Take into account any machine idling times and downtimes to estimate
these values more accurately for a specifi ed time period. This may signif-
icantly reduce the load during the machine operating period.
Use
Attention! This chainsaw is intended for cutting wood only!
Double insulation
To ensure maximum safety of the user, our tools are designed and built
to satisfy applicable European standards (EN standards). Tools with
double insulation are marked by the international symbol of a dou-
ble square. These tools must not be grounded and a two-wire cable is
suffi cient to supply them with power. Tools are shielded in accordance
with EN 50114.
Putting into operation
Check whether the data on the rating plate conform to the real voltage
of the power supply source. Check whether the plug type conforms
to the socket. The device intended for 240 V can be also connected to
220 / 240 V.

1. Oil tank fi lling
The chainsaw may never work without the oil, because lack of oil can
lead to damage of the chain, bar and engine. Damage as the conse-
quence of work without oil is not covered by the warranty.
Attention! Be so kind and use only the oil suitable for the
saw chains, on the biological basis and 100% degradable.
Bio oil NAREX CO 1l (ord. no. 65 403 576) can be purchased in specialised
shops. Do not use any worn out oil. Doing so would damage your chain-
saw and void the warranty.
Before refi lling the oil tank, fi rst unplug the cord from the power
source.
Unscrew the cap (3). The cap is fi tted from the inside with a plastic
tether with a retainer to prevent the loss of the cap.
Use a funnel to pour approximately 340 ml of oil into the tank and
fi rmly screw the cap back on.
The oil level can be seen through the level gauge (1).
Empty the oil tank before transporting the chainsaw!
Check that the chain lubrication system is functional before you
begin work. Turn the chainsaw on when the cutting mechanism
is installed and hold it at suffi cient distance from a light-coloured,
contrasting surface. The chain bar must not be in contact with the
surface! If the chain leaves an oil mark, the lubrication system is
working properly.
After fi nishing your work, place the chainsaw horizontally onto a
absorptive underlay. Several drops of oil may drip down, due to the
distribution of oil across the bar, chain and engine.
Always empty the oil tank before long-term storage.
