Always wear protective gloves while refuelling. Of-
ten change and clean your protective clothing. Do
not inhale fuel vapours. Inhaling fuel vapours might
cause physical harm.
- Be careful not to spill fuel or chain oil. Immediate-
ly clean the chain saw if fuel or chain oil has been
spilled. Keep away fuel from clothing. Immediately
change your clothing if fuel has been spilled on it.
- Make sure not to spill fuel or chain oil into the soil
(environmental protection). Use a proper base.
- Do not refuel in closed rooms. Fuel vapours accu-
mulate at the soil (risk of explosion).
- Tighten the tank cap as far as it will go.
- Move the chain saw at least 10 feet (3 m) from the
fueling point before starting the engine.
- Fuels have a limited storage life. Only buy that
amount which will be used in measurable period.
- Store and transport fuel and chain oil only in prop-
er containers. Keep fuel and chain oil away from
children.
Putting into operation
- Do not work alone. Keep within calling distance
of other in case of injury.
- Ensure that no children or other persons stay close
to you and the operational range of the saw.Pay
also attention to animals.
- Before starting the chain saw ensure a correct
and properly reliable condition of the chain
saw! In particular check the function of the chain
brake, correctly mounted chain bar, properly sharp-
ened and tensioned saw chain, firmly attached
chain sprocket guard, free movement of the throt-
tle lever and the function of the throttle lever lock,
clean and dry handles, the function of the start/stop
switch.
- Do not start the saw until it has been completely
assembled and inspected. In principle the saw can
only be operated when completely and securely as-
sembled!
- Before starting the saw the operator has to ensure
a good footing.
- Only start the saw as described in this manual.
Other starting techniques are not permitted.
- When starting up, the machine must be safely sup-
ported and firmly held. The bar and chain must be
free-standing.
- Hold the saw with both hands while working.
Your right hand on the rear grip and your left hand
on the tubular handle. Use a firm grip with thumbs.
Working with one hand is very dangerous because
the saw might fall uncontrolled at the end of a cut
(increased risk of injury). Furthermore a kickback
can't be diminished when sawing with one hand!
- CAUTION: Releasing the throttle the chain
might trail a short period (Free-wheeling ef-
fect).
- Always make sure you have a good footing.
- Operate the chain saw in such a way that you don't
inhale the exhaust fumes. Do not work in enclosed
spaces (risk of poisoning).

- Switch the engine off immediately if there are
any noticeable changes in the behaviour of the
device.
- Always stop the engine and wear gloves when
checking or adjusting the chain tension.
- If you hit any stones, nails, or other hard objects
with the saw equipment, the engine must be im-
mediately switched off and the saw equipment
checked.
- During work breaks, and before leaving the work
place, the chainsaw must be switched off and
placed so that no-one can be endangered by it.
- Do not place a chainsaw which is hot directly onto
dry grass or other flammable objects. The silencer
gives off a tremendous amount of heat. (risk of fire).
- CAUTION!: Dripping oil from the chain and bar
can result in contamination when the chainsaw is
placed down! Always use a suitable mat or surface.
Kickback
- A hazardous kickback may occur while working
with the chain saw.
- Kickback occurs when the upper quadrant of the
bar nose unexpectedly, unintentionally contacts
solid material in the wood.
- Before the chainsaw is guided to the cutting
area, it can slip away to the side or jump up.
(CAUTION!: Increasing risk of kickback!)
- The chainsaw may therefore be thrown or pushed
towards the chainsaw operator in an uncontrolled,
high-energy manner (risk of injury!).
To avoid a kickback please note following in-
structions:
- Plunge work (directly plunging the tip of the bar
into the wood) may only be performed by special-
ly trained personnel!
- Always watch the tip of the bar. Take care when
continuing cuts which have already been started.
- Start the cut with the chainsaw running!
- Always sharpen the chain correctly. Pay particu-
lar attention to the depth limiter being at the cor-
rect height!
- Do not cut more than one log at a time! When re-
moving branches, ensure that no other branch is
touched.
- When cutting to length, pay attention to closely
adjacent branches.
Operating instructions and techniques
- Only operate the saw under good visibility and
daylight conditions. Take extreme care in wet and
freezing weather (rain, snow, ice) (risk of tripping).
Increased risk of slipping insists on freshly peeled
wood.
- Do not work on an unstable surface. Pay attention
to obstacles in the working area, risk of tripping. Al-
ways mantain a firm foothold.
- Never use the saw above shoulder height
- Never work on a ladder
