• Always keep proper footing
and operate the chain saw only
when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or un-
stable surfaces may cause a loss of bal-
ance or control of the chain saw.
• When lubricating the chain, a
light trace of oil forms due to
the escaping oil. Pay attention to
the wind direction and do not expose
yourself unnecessarily to such lubricat-
ing oil mist.
• Keep all parts of the body
away from the saw chain when
the chain saw is operating. Be-
fore you start the chain saw,
make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chain saws
may cause entanglement of your cloth-
ing or body with the saw chain.
• Never work one-handed or above
shoulder height.
• Prolonged use of the device
can lead to blood circulation
disorders in the hands caused
by vibration (Raynaud's syn-
drome). Change your working po-
sition regularly. However, you can
extend the duration of use by wear-
ing suitable gloves or taking regular
breaks. Please ensure that if you are
susceptible to poor circulation, low out-
side temperatures or strong gripping
forces while working, this may reduce
the length of time for which you are
able to work.
• When cutting a limb that is un-
der 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 chain saw out of control.

• Use extreme caution when cut-
ting brush and saplings. The
slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or
pull you off balance.
• Switch off the engine and wait until the
saw chain has come to a standstill be-
fore setting the chainsaw down.
Cleaning, maintenance and stor-
age
• Follow the maintenance, control and
service instructions in these operating
instructions carefully.
• All maintenance work not mentioned
in these instructions may only be per-
formed by our service centre for chain-
saws.
• Follow all instructions when clearing
the chainsaw of accumulated materi-
al, storing or performing maintenance.
Make sure that the engine is switched
off and secured against accidental
switching on. Unexpected operation of
the chainsaw when removing accumu-
lated material or during maintenance
can result in serious injury.
• Only use accessory parts which are re-
commended in this manual.
• Carry the chain saw by the
front handle with the chain saw
switched off and away from
your body. When transport-
ing or storing the chain saw, al-
ways fit the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will
reduce the likelihood of accidental con-
tact with the moving saw chain.
• Store the chainsaw and fuel safely and
out of reach of children. Ensure there is
no risk of any leaking fuel or vapours
coming into contact with sparks or
open flames. Electrical appliances, for
example, can be a source of sparks.
