Before use

WARNING!
Always carry out checks before use and with
►
the engine switched off.
Check that the appliance is in good working
►
order before every use and if it has fallen.
Check whether moving parts work properly.
►
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
Have any damage repaired by qualified
specialists.
Use the chainsaw and accessories only as de-
►
scribed in these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of machine tools for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Check the chain brake is in good working order
■
regularly (front hand guard, see fold-out page
fig. D).
Check that the guide rail is correctly fitted.
■
Check that the saw chain is correctly tensioned.
■
Follow the instructions for lubrication, chain ten-
sion and changing accessories. An incorrectly
tensioned or lubricated chain can break or
increase the risk of kickback.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Sharpen
■
them regularly and replace worn parts promptly.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Check the throttle control and the throttle control
■
lock for freedom of movement. The throttle control
must spring back into the start position.
Check whether there is enough fuel and chain
■
lubrication oil in the tank.
Check whether the handles are clean, dry and
■
free of oil and dirt.

Never carry out the work alone. In case of
■
emergency, someone should be close by.
Use the chainsaw only if you are standing on
■
firm, safe and even ground.
Do not overreach.
Slippery ground or unstable standing surfaces
(e.g. on a step ladder) can lead to a loss of bal-
ance or loss of control of the chainsaw.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the chainsaw in
unexpected situations.
Do not work with the chainsaw in a tree.
■
When working in a tree there is a risk of injury.
Never saw above shoulder height.
■
Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand
■
on the rear handle and your left hand on the
front handle (see fold-out page fig. D). Holding
the chainsaw in an inverted working posture
increases the risk of injuries and is prohibited.
When the chainsaw is running, keep all body
■
parts away from the saw chain. Before starting
the chainsaw, make sure that the saw chain is not
touching anything. When working with a chain-
saw, a moment of inattentiveness can lead to
clothing or body parts getting caught in the saw
chain.
Switch the chainsaw off immediately if you notice
■
any changes in the way the appliance behaves.
If the chainsaw hits a stone, nails or other hard
■
objects, stop the engine immediately and check
the saw chain and the guide rail for damage.
Do not drop the chainsaw, knock it against
■
obstructions and do not use the guide rail as a
lever.
Use the chainsaw only for sawing wood.
■
When sawing a branch that is under tension,
■
expect it to spring back. Once the tension in the
wooden fibres is released, the branch can hit the
operator and/or knock the chainsaw out of his
hands.
Be extremely careful when cutting brushwood
■
and young trees. The thin material can catch in
the saw and fly in your direction or knock you off
balance.
