■ The THROTTLE INTERLOCK (9) prevents the en-
gine from randomly accelerating. The throttle lever
can only be pressed when the throttle interlock is
pressed.
■ The CLAW STOP (15) supports the chainsaw on
the wood while working. Never work without a claw
stop, the chainsaw can pull the operator forward.
Use the claw stop for cutting tree trunks or thick
branches. Using the claw stop increases work
safety, reduces personal strain when working and
vibrations are also reduced. The claw stop must
always be positioned on the tree trunk when us-
ing the chainsaw. Push the claw stop onto the tree
trunk using the rear handle. To cut, push the front
handle in the direction of the cutting line. The claw
stop may need to be repositioned for further cut-
ting.
6.9 Precautionary measures against kick-back
m WARNING
Watch out for kick-back when working with the de-
vice. There is a danger of injury. Avoid kick-backs
through caution and correct sawing technique.
■ Touching with the rail tip can sometimes lead to an
unexpected backward reaction, whereby the guide
bar whips up and in the direction of the operator
(Fig. I).
■ Kick-back can arise if the tip of the guide rail touch-
es an object or if the wood bends and the saw chain
jams in the cut.
■ Before the saw chain is guided into the cutting area,
it can slip away to the side or jump up. (Attention!
Increased risk of kickback!)
■ If the saw chain jams on the top edge of the guide
bar, the chainsaw can jerk back suddenly in the di-
rection of the operator (fig. I).
■ If the saw chain jams on the lower edge of the guide
bar, the chainsaw can jerk forward suddenly away
from the operator (fig. J).
■ Be extremely careful when using the chain of the
chainsaw to continue cutting into a cut that has al-
ready been started.
■ Do not saw branches or pieces of wood that could
change their position during the sawing process or
where the cut closes during the sawing process.
■ Each of these reactions can lead to you losing
control of the saw and possibly suffering a serious
injury. Never rely solely on the safety equipment in-
tegrated in the chainsaw. As a chainsaw user, take
various measures to work without accidents and
injuries.
Kickback is the result misuse and/or incorrect oper-
ating procedures or conditions. It can be prevented
by suitable precautionary measures, as described in
the following:
■ Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with the
thumbs and fingers enclosing the chainsaw han-
dles. Bring your body and arms into a position in
which you can absorb the kick-back forces. If suita-
ble measures are implemented, the operator will be
able to withstand the kick-back forces. Never let go
of the chainsaw (see fig. D).
■ Avoid an unusual body stance and never saw above
shoulder height. This will help to avoid unintentional
contact with the rail tip, and enable improved con-
trol of the chainsaw in unexpected situations.
■ Always use replacement guide rails and saw chains
prescribed by the manufacturer. Incorrect replace-
ment guide rails and saw chains may cause the
saw chain to break and/or lead to kick-back.
■ Adhere to the instructions of the manufacturer
when sharpening and maintaining the saw chain. If
the depth limiter is too low, this increases the ten-
dency towards kick-back.
■ Do not saw with the tip of the guide rail. There is a
risk of kick-back.
■ Make sure that there are no nails or metal pieces
in the cutting area. Pay special attention to nails
or pieces of iron around the cutting area. Also be
careful when sawing hardwoods where the chain
can get caught. This can cause kick-back.
■ Start cutting at full power and always keep the
chainsaw at maximum speed while sawing.
■ Make sure that there are no objects on the floor that
you can trip over.
