tions are taken. Do not let go
of the chain saw.
 Do not overreach and do
not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent un-
intended tip contact and ena-
bles better control of the chain
saw in unexpected situations.
 Only use replacement bars
and chains specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect re-
placement bars and chains
may cause chain breakage
and/or kickback.
 Follow the manufacturer's
sharpening and mainte-
nance instructions for the
saw chain. Decreasing the
depth gauge height can lead
to increased kickback.
Additional safety instructions
for chainsaws
Note ● Kärcher recommends
sawing tree trunks on a saw-
horse during first use. ● When
using the chainsaw, keep a first
aid kit for large wounds and a
means of calling for help. A larg-
er and more extensive first aid
kit should be nearby.
WARNING ● Ensure a firm
footing, a clean workplace and
plan a retreat path from falling
branches before using the de-
vice. ● Beware of exhaust
fumes, oil vapour and sawdust.
If necessary, wear a mask or
breathing apparatus. ● Always
hold the chainsaw tightly with
both hands. Hold the handles
with your thumb on one side and
your fingers on the other side.
Hold the rear handle with your
right hand and the front handle
with your left hand. ● Risk of in-
jury. Do not make any modifica-
tions to the device. Do not use
the device to drive attachments
or devices not recommended by
the manufacturer of the device.
● Before switching on the de-
vice, make sure that the saw
chain does not touch any ob-
jects. ● Serious injuries or death
if a wrongly tensioned saw chain
jumps out of the guide rail.
Check the chain tension before
each use. The length of the
chain depends on the tempera-
ture. ● Ensure that all protective
devices, handles and bucking
spikes are correctly fitted, se-
curely fastened and in good con-
dition. ● Serious injuries due to
incorrect working methods:
 You need to be alert at all
times and be in control of your
workplace when working with
the chainsaw. The size of the
workspace depends on the
task to be performed and the
size of the tree or work piece.
Felling a tree requires a larger
workspace than e.g. trimming.
 Never saw with your body in
line with the guide rail and
chain. This reduce the danger
