area are within calling distance.
■ The user cannot concentrate on the work in
certain situations. The user can lose control of
the saw, stumble or fall and be seriously
injured.
► Work calmly and carefully.
► If light and visibility are poor: Do not use
your saw.
► Operate the chainsaw alone.
► Do not work above shoulder height.

► Stand on the ground while working and
keep a good balance. If it is necessary to
work at heights: Use a lift bucket or a safe
platform.

► If the saw chain is blocked by an object:
Switch off the chainsaw, engage the chain
brake and remove the battery. Then
remove the object causing the blockage.
■ The rotating chain becomes hot and expands.
If the chain is not lubricated sufficiently or not
re-tensioned at regular intervals, it may come
off the guide bar or break. This can result in
serious injuries and damage to property.
► Use special chain oil.
► Check oil level in tank regularly during cut‐
ting work. Before the oil tank runs empty:
Fill up with chain oil.

work. If chain tension is insufficient: Ten‐
sion the chain.
