SAFETY FUNCTIONS
3 Switch-on block
The switch-on block must be released for switching
on the device.
4 On-off switch with safety chain brake
On releasing the On/Off switch, the device immedi-
ately switches off.
5 Rear grip with hand guard (6)
Protects the hand against branches and boughs in
the case of springing away by the chain.
12 Saw chain with small spring-back
helps you to catch spring-backs with specially
developed control systems.
Warning: The vibration emission value may differ
during actual use of the power tool from the stated
value depending on the manner in which the power
tool is used.
Try to keep the exposure to vibrations as low as
possible. Examples of measures to reduce vibration
exposure are the wearing of gloves when using the
tool and limiting the working hours. All parts of the
operating cycle are to be taken into account in this
(for example times in which the electric tool is tur-
ned off and those in which even though it is turned
on, it is not running under a load)
Beware of kickback! Be careful of

kickback of the machine during work.
There is danger of injury here. You can
avoid kickbacks by exercising caution and
using a correct sawing technique.

Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut (cf. fi
g 1/image B). Tip contact in some cases may cause
a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up
and back towards the operator (fig. 1/image A).
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards
the operator.
Each of these reactions can lead to you losing
control of the saw and potentially being seriously
injured. Do not rely exclusively on the safety devi-
ces built into the pruner saw. As user of the pruner
saw, you should undertake various measures to
enable accident- and injury free working.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/ or incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below:
a) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kick-
back forces can be controlled by the operator,
if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of
the chain saw.
b) Avoid an abnormal work posture and do not saw
above shoulder height. This prevents unin-
tentional contact with the rail tip and enables
better control of the pruner saw in unforeseen
situations.
c) Only use replacement bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
bars and chains may cause chain breakage
and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer´s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
