Nevertheless, always maintain a firm grip and secure
footing so that you can keep control of the tool in case
of doubt.
The most common effects are:
• Kick-back
• Recoil
• Kick-back
Kick-back
Kick-back can occur if the running saw chain (25)
strikes a solid object on the upper quarter of the guide
bar (26) or becomes jammed.
The cutting force of the saw chain (25) exerts a ro-
tational force on the saw in the opposite direction to
the saw chain movement. This leads to an upward
movement of the guide bar (26).
Avoiding kick-back
The best protection is to avoid situations that lead to
kick-backs.
• Always keep an eye on the position of the upper
guide rail.
• Never let this point come into contact with an
object. Do not cut anything with it. Be particular-
ly careful in the vicinity of wire fences and when
cutting small, hard branches that can jam the saw
chain (25) easily.
• Only cut one branch at a time.
Kick-back
Retraction occurs when the saw chain (25) suddenly
becomes stuck on the underside of the guide bar be-
cause it is jammed or hits a foreign object in the wood.
The saw chain (25) then pulls the saw forwards.
Retraction often occurs when the saw chain (25) is
not running at full speed when it comes into contact
with the wood.
Avoiding retraction
Be aware of the forces and situations that can lead to
the saw chain (25) becoming jammed on the under-
side of the guide bar (26). Always start cutting with
the saw chain (25) running at full speed.
Recoil
Recoil occurs when the saw chain (25) suddenly be-
comes stuck on the top of the guide bar because it is
jammed or hits a foreign object in the wood. The saw
chain (25) can then suddenly push the saw towards
the operator. Recoil often occurs when the top of the
guide bar is being used for cutting.

Avoiding recoil
Be aware of the forces and situations that can lead
to the saw chain (25) becoming jammed on the top
of the guide bar. Do not cut more than one branch at
a time. Do not tilt the guide bar (26) to the side when
pulling it out of a cutting slit, as this could jam the saw
chain (25).
12. Transport (Fig. 2/3)
If you want to transport the device, empty the fuel
tank (see 9.3.1). Clean coarse dirt from the device us-
ing a brush or a hand brush.
Always attach the protective cover (15a, 20 and 27) to
the cutters when not in use, during transport or stor-
age.
The device must be secured against tipping and slip-
ping during transport in vehicles in order to prevent
damage and injuries.
13. Maintenance
ATTENTION:
Incorrect or insufficient maintenance can lead to acci-
dents or damage to the device.
Always wear protective gloves during all work on and
around the cutting tools.
Always attach the protective cover (15a, 20 and 27) to
the cutters when not in use, during transport or stor-
age.
Always shut the engine down and remove the spark
plug connector (6) before carrying out any mainte-
nance and cleaning work.
• Do not spray the device with water. This damages
the engine.
• Clean the device with a cloth, hand brush, etc.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the plastic parts. Do not
use cleaning agents, solvents or sharp objects.
• When using the brush cutter / grass trimmer (13),
for technical reasons wet grass and weeds wrap
around the drive axle beneath the shield (14) while
working. Remove this, otherwise the engine will
overheat due to excessive friction. (Fig. 18)
Clean and maintain the device before storing it.
13.1 Regular checks
Note that the following information relates to normal
use.
Under certain circumstances (longer daily work,
heavy levels of dust, etc.), shorten the intervals spec-
ified accordingly.
