m NOTE
Familiarise yourself with the chainsaw and its parts.
5.5 Warnings for chainsaws
• Keep all body parts away from the saw chain
when the chainsaw is running. Before starting
the chainsaw, ensure that the saw chain is not
touching anything. When working with a chain-
saw, a moment of carelessness can result in cloth-
ing or body parts being caught by the saw chain.
• Do not use a chainsaw on a tree unless you
have been specially trained to do so. There is
a risk of injury when operating a chainsaw improp-
erly in a tree.
• When cutting a branch that is under tension,
expect it to spring back. If the tension in the
wood fibres is released, the tensioned branch can
hit the operator and/or wrest the chainsaw from
control.
• Be especially careful when cutting under-
growth and young trees. The thin material can
get caught in the saw chain and hit you or throw
you off balance.
• Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with
the saw chain stationary and the guide rail
pointing backwards. Always put the cover of
the guide rail on when transporting or storing
the chainsaw. Careful handling of the chainsaw
reduces the likelihood of accidental contact with
the running saw chain.
• Follow the instructions for lubrication, chain
tensioning and replacing accessories. An im-
properly tensioned or lubricated saw chain can
break or increase the risk of kick-back.
• Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery and re-
sult in a loss of control.
Causes and avoidance of kick-back:
• 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 cutting channel.
• Touching with the tip of the guide rail can some-
times lead to an unexpected backward reaction,
whereby the guide rail whips up and in the direc-
tion of the operator.
• If the saw chain jams on the top edge of the guide
rail, the guide rail can jerk back suddenly in the di-
rection of the operator.
• Each of these reactions can lead to you losing con-
trol of the chainsaw and possibly suffering a seri-
ous injury. Never rely solely on the safety equip-
ment integrated in the chainsaw. As the chainsaw
operator, you should implement various measures
to work without a risk of accidents and injuries.

Kick-back is the result of incorrect or deficient use of
the tool. It can be prevented by suitable precaution-
ary measures, as described in the following:
• Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands, with
the thumbs and fingers enclosing the chain-
saw hand grips. Bring your body and arms into
a position in which you can absorb the kick-
back forces. If suitable measures are implement-
ed, the operator will be able to withstand the kick-
back forces. Never let go of the chainsaw.
• Avoid an unusual body stance and never saw
above shoulder height. This will help to avoid
unintentional contact with the tip of the guide bar,
and enable improved control of the chainsaw in
unexpected situations.
• Always use replacement guide rails and chain-
saws prescribed by the manufacturer. Incor-
rect replacement guide bars and saw chains may
cause the saw chain to break and/or cause kick-
back. (see chapter 15)
• Adhere to the instructions of the manufactur-
er when sharpening and maintaining the saw
chain. If the depth limiter is too low, this increases
the tendency towards kick-back.
5.6 Safety instructions for service/storage
Only have your tool repaired by qualified specialists
and only with original spare parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the tool is maintained.
1. Always visually check the device for wear or dam-
age before use. Replace worn or damaged parts
for safety reasons. Tighten all nuts, bolts and
screws to ensure that the equipment is in safe op-
erating condition.
2. Regular checks must be carried out for leaks or
signs of abrasion in the fuel system, for example
through porous pipes, loose or missing clamps
and damage to the fuel tank or fuel tank cover. All
defects must be rectified before use. (see chap-
ter 15)
3. Before checking or adjusting the device or en-
gine, the spark plug or spark plug connector must
be removed to prevent accidental starting.
Storage
1. Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank
in buildings where vapours can come into contact
with open flames or sparks.
2. Allow the engine to cool down before storing it in
an enclosed space.
3. To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, silenc-
er and fuel storage area free of vegetation and
excessive lubricant.
