• The machining range and surrounding areas of the
machine must be clear of interfering foreign matter
to prevent accidents occurring.
• Workpieces must be completely free of foreign
objects, i.e. nails or screws.
• The machine must only be used in technically per-
fect condition in accordance with its designated
use and the instructions set out in the operating
manual, and only by safety-conscious persons who
are fully aware of the risks involved in operating
the machine. Any functional disorders, especially
those affecting the safety of the machine, should
therefore be rectified immediately.
• The manufacturer's safety instructions, operating
instructions and maintenance instructions as well
as the dimensions given in the technical data must
be observed.
• The applicable accident prevention regulations and
other generally accepted safety regulations must
be complied with.
• The machine may only be used, maintained, and
operated by persons familiar with it and instructed
in its operation and procedures. Arbitrary altera-
tions to the machine release the manufacturer from
all responsibility for any resulting damages.
• The machine may only be used with original acces-
sories and original tools made by the manufacturer.
• Any other use exceeds authorization. The manufac-
turer is not responsible for any damages resulting
from unauthorized use; risk is the sole responsibil-
ity of the operator.
• Only use saw blades that comply with the Euro-
pean standard DIN EN 847-1.
• Ensure adequate lighting.
• Make sure that the machine is secure on the ground
when installing the machine.
• The area around the machine must be free of trip
hazards.
• The machine may only be operated outdoors with-
out exhaust.

4. Handle Fuel Safely

• To avoid personal injury or property damage, take
extra care when handling fuel.
• Fuel is highly flammable, the vapours are explosive.
• Avoid smoking cigarettes, cigars or pipes in working
area and remove all possible sources of ignition.
• Use only approved fuel containers.
• Never open the filler cap or fill in with fuel while the
engine is running.
• The engine must be cooled before fuel is poured in.
• Never refuel the machine indoors.
• Never store the machine or the fuel tank near open
flames or potential ignition sources.
• Never fill the fuel tank inside a vehicle, on a truck or
a trailer with cover.
• Always fill up the tank on solid ground at a safe
distance from the vehicle.

• Do not overfill the fuel tank.
• Close the fuel tank carefully.
• If the fuel tank must be drained, this should be done
outdoors
• Never transport the saw while the engine is run-
ning.
• Never refuel the machine in confined spaces.
• Before turning on the engine you need to clean the
tank and the machine from gasoline residues.
• Heated gas expands. Do not fill the fuel tank to the
edge, but leave a little space so that hot gas can
expand.
• The fuel cap has a ventilation slot for the discharge
of gasoline vapours.
• Always use an original gas cap.
• Failure to observe the gasoline safety can cause fires
and explosions; they can cause serious injuries as
well as damage the equipment and property of others.
• The filling of fuel into a running or hot engine can
cause an explosion.
• Before refuelling, always switch off the engine and
let it cool for a few minutes.
• Remove wood shavings and other debris from the
machine. Keep the machine clean, so you can
increase its performance.
• Engine, transmission and muffler will be very hot
when the engine running in a matter of minutes. In
any case touch these equipment parts.
• Before servicing the unit, you must first turn off the
engine and allow the engine and transmission to cool.
• Remember, exhaust vapours are dangerous. Never
turn on the machine in a confined space.
• Dispose of used engine oil in accordance with the
customary rules.
• Turn off the engine immediately if you notice unu-
sual noises or vibrations.
• Unusual noises or vibrations are usually warnings
of major problems.
5. m Other risks
The machine has been built using modern tech-
nology in accordance with recognized safety
rules. Some remaining hazards, however, may
still exist.
• The rotating saw blade can cause injuries to fingers
and hands if the work piece is incorrectly fed.
• Danger to health from wood dusts or wood chips.
• Always wear personal protective equipment such
as eye protection and dust mask.
• Noise can be a health hazard. The permitted noise
level is exceeded when working. Be sure to wear
personal protective gear such as ear protection.
• Hazardous current, when using improper electrical
connections.
• Even when all safety measures are taken, some
remaining hazards which are not yet evident may
still be present.
• Remaining hazards can be minimized by following
the instructions in "Safety Precautions", "Proper
Use" and in the entire operating manual.
