and the other hand with outstretched arm on the extension pole. If
necessary, use the shoulder strap.
▪
Never reach over the riving knife (4) or under the base plate (8). There
is a risk of injury!
▪
Do not cut if the saw chain is in contact with the workpiece, is in the
workpiece or may hit an object. This can lead to serious injuries.
▪
Clamp loose workpieces before cutting them. Remove foreign objects
such as nails, screws, etc.
▪
When cutting a branch that is under tension be alert for spring back.
When the tension in the wood fibres is released, the spring loaded limb
may strike the operator and/or throw the multi saw out of control.
▪
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender
material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull
you off balance.
▪
When the saw chain is running, first place the base plate (8) on the
surface of the workpiece and let the saw cut on its own. Apply only
light pressure to the saw. The chain speed should not be much slower.
▪
To cool the saw, allow the machine to run idle for a short time.
▪
Carry the multi saw by the handle with the motor switched off and
away from your body. When transporting or storing the multi saw al-
ways fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the saw will reduce the
likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
