When grinding the chain, there is a danger that this
safety function will be overridden. If the saw perfor-
mance deteriorates, the chain should be replaced for
safety reasons. For spare parts, use only the combina-
tion of guide rail and chain recommended by the manu-
facturer.
Guide rails
Guide rails whose tips have a small radius usually carry
a lower risk of kickback.
Therefore use a guide rail with matching chain for the
task, which is just long enough. Longer guide rails in-
crease the likelihood of loss of control during sawing.
Check the chain tension before each use (see chapter
Checking the chain tension). If the chain tension is not
set correctly, sawing smaller branches (thinner than the
full length of the guide rail) increases the danger of the
chain being thrown off.
Chain catcher
If the chain loosens or tears, the chain catcher prevents
the chain from being thrown in the direction of the user.
Bucking spikes
The integrated bucking spikes can be used as a fulcrum
to give the chain saw stability during a cut.
When sawing, press the device forward until the metal
spikes penetrate the edge of the wood. Subsequently
moving the rear handle up or down in the direction of the
cut reduces the physical strain when working with the
chainsaw.
Chain brake
Chain brakes are used in case of danger to bring the
chain quickly to a standstill.
The chain must come to a standstill immediately when
the hand guard/chain brake lever is pressed in the direc-
tion of the guide rail.
The chain brake cannot prevent kickback, but reduces
the risk of injury if the guide rail hits the user in the event
of a kickback.
The proper function of the chain brake must be checked
before each use of the device (see chapter Checking
the functionality of the chain brake).
