• For the first cut (Pos. 1), cut 1/3 of the way into the
lower part of the branch.
• Then cut all the way through the branch with the
second cut (Pos. 2). The third cut (Pos. 3) is a top
cut with which you separate the branch from the
trunk at a distance of 2.5 to 5cm.
5.8 Remaining risks
m DANGER
MECHANICAL HAZARDS are caused by sawing
and impacts connected to the saw chain.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS: Live electrical parts (di-
rect contact) or parts that are under high voltage cur-
rent due to a fault (indirect contact)
THERMAL HAZARDS can lead to burns, scalds and
other injuries caused by people potentially coming in-
to contact with objects or materials with high temper-
atures, including radiation from heat sources.
NOISE HAZARDS can cause hearing damage
(deafness) and other physiological disorders (e.g.
loss of balance, loss of consciousness), as well as to
acoustic signal disorders and language communica-
tion disorders.
VIBRATION HAZARDS can cause peripheral circu-
lation disorders and nervous system function disor-
ders in the hand/arm system such as Raynaud syn-
drome.
• Hazards arising from contact with or inhalation of
harmful liquids, gases, mists, vapors and dusts in
connection with exhaust gases.
• Danger from unhealthy postures or excessive ef-
fort in connection with the use of machinery.
• Unexpected start hazards, unexpected spin / over-
speed due to control system failure or malfunc-
tion related to handle failure and the position of the
controls.
• Danger of failure of the control system related to
handle strength, position of controls and marking.
• Danger of tearing (the chain) in connection with the
saw chain during operation.
• Hazards due to ejection of objects or liquids in con-
nection with chip ejection and fuel leakage.
• Danger of dropping the chain saw while working on
a tree.
RISK OF INJURY ! Contact with the saw-chain can
lead to fatal cutting injuries.
Never put your hands into the running saw-chain.
RISK OF KICKBACK! Kickback can lead to fatal
cutting injuries.

RISK OF BURNING! The chain and the guide bar
heat up during operation.
Behaviour during an emergency
Start First Aid measures relevant to the injury and re-
quest medical help as quickly as possible. Prevent
the injured person from further injury and keep him/
her rested. For potentially occurring accidents, the
First Aid kit, according to DIN 13164, should always
be handy at the work place. Material taken from the
First Aid kit must be replaced immediately.
When you are requesting help, give the following in-
formation:
1. Location of accident
2. Type of accident
3. Number of injured people
4. Type of injuries
Store all safety notices and instructions for the
future.
6. Set up
Before starting the equipment
m CAUTION
Do not start the engine until the saw is fully assem-
bled.
m CAUTION
Wear protective gloves at all times when handling
the chain.
1. Fit the chain bar
To ensure that the bar and the chain are supplied
with oil, USE ONLY THE ORIGINAL BAR.
The oiling hole (Fig. 4/pos. C) must be kept clear of
dirt and any build-up of residue.
1. Make sure the Chain brake lever is pulled back
into the DISENGAGED position (Fig. 11)
2. Turn the chain tensioning wheel (Fig. 9/pos. 3) IN A
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE DIRECTION until the TANG
(Fig. 7) (projecting pin) is at the end of its sliding path
in the direction of the clutch and gear wheel (Fig. 9).
3. Fit the open end of the chain bar over the bar pins
(Fig. 3/pos. B).
To install the saw chain
• Spread the chain out in a loop with the cutting edg-
es (Fig. 4) pointing CLOCKWISE around the loop.
• Slip the chain around the sprocket behind the
clutch as shown in figure 4. Make sure the links fit
between the sprocket teeth.
• Guide the drive links into the groove and around
the end of the bar as shown in figure 4 - 7.
