adjusting screw (18).
Use the installation spanner (25).

not touch any objects.
16 | GB / CY
Observe the country-specific regulations for felling
work and obtain information from the relevant authori-
ty.
• Make sure that no one can be harmed by the falling
branches and trees.
• Only the persons required for the felling work may
be in the work area.
• Keep the work area at the trunk clear and tidy so
that users have a safe standing area.
• Keep escape routes clear and tidy in order to be
able to leave the work area quickly.
• Do not carry out felling work in stronger wind con-
ditions, bad weather or poor visibility.
• Keep distances to the nearest workplace of at least
2 1/2 tree lengths.
• Switch off the motor if the saw comes into contact
with a foreign object. Check the saw and repair it if
necessary.
• Protect the saw chain from dirt and sand. Even
small amounts of dirt can quickly dull the saw chain
and increase the risk of kick-back.
• Start by sawing smaller logs for practice to get a
feel for your product before tackling more difficult
tasks.
• Press the housing of the electric chainsaw against
the tree trunk when you start sawing.
• Let the saw work for you. Apply only light down-
ward pressure.
• To avoid losing control of the product after the saw
chain has come out of the wood, do not apply
pressure to the saw towards the end of the cut.
• Do not cut wood that is lying on the ground or try
to cut roots that are sticking out of the ground.
• Avoid abnormal postures. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This will allow you to better
control the product in unexpected situations.
• You have better control when you saw with the un-
derside of the bar (with a pulling chain).
• The saw chain must not touch the ground or any
other object during or after sawing.
• Also observe the precautions against kick-back
(see safety instructions).
