suitability test. Ask the forest administra-
tion for details.
• Do not work with the high pruning
saw when you are tired or after the
consumption of alcohol or medication.
Always take a break in good time.
• Always wear suitable working clothes
during working, which allow freedom
of movement. Included with this are
a safety helmet, ear muffs, protective
goggles or face protection, gloves with
cut-protection, safety shoes with cut-
protection and solid soles and protec-
tive trousers with saw protection.
• The high pruning saw is designed for
two-handed operation. Never work with
one hand or above shoulder height.
• Basically the mains cable is dragged
behind the operator. The cable must al-
ways lead away from the high pruning
saw towards the rear.
• Keep your working area tidy. Only start
work if your working area is free from
obstruction and you have planned a
safe path of escape when felling timber.
• Ensure no people or animals are lo-
cated near the field of action. Pay par-
ticular attention to children.
• Ensure you have a secure stance dur-
ing sawing. Do not work on a ladder,
in the tree or on unstable locations. Be
very cautious carrying out work on a
slope.
• Never start the high pruning saw
before the chain bar, saw chain and
sprocket chain wheel covering are cor-
rectly assembled.
• Ensure, before the switch-on, that the
chainsaw is not in contact with any
objects. Switch off the chainsaw before
you relocate it.
• Do not work in the rain, bad weather or
in a moist environment. Work only with
good lighting.
• Ensure that the grips are dry and clean
during work.
• Work only within the indicated range
of performance. Do not employ any
8
low-powered devices for difficult work.
Do not use tools for purposes for which
they are not intended.
• Do not work with an high pruning
saw which is damaged, incomplete
or changed without approval of the
manufacturer. Never use the high
pruning saw with defective protective
equipment. Do not use any tools where
the switch cannot be turned on and
off. Check the safety status of the high
pruning saw, in particular the chain bar,
chain brake and the chain, before use.
• Damaged protection fittings and parts
must be properly repaired or replaced
at our Service-Center (see P. 117 for the
address), unless otherwise stated in the
manual.
• Pull out the power plug in case of non-
use of the device, before maintenance,
cleaning or replacement of accessories.
Ensure the chainsaw is switched off
when you stick the plug into the plug
socket.
• All maintenance operations, which are
not indicated in these directions, may
be carried out only by the customer
service for chainsaws.
• Use only those accessories which are
recommended in these directions.
• Place the claw stop securely with every
cut and do not begin with the sawing
before this.
• Be extremely careful during sawing
small bushes and branches. The thin
branch thicket can snag in the saw and
whip in your direction or make you un-
balanced.
• Carefully follow the maintenance, con-
trol and service instructions in this oper-
ating manual.
• Avoid sawing thin wood and trimmed
timber.
• Pay attention to a possible spring-back
during the sawing of a branch which is
under stress, if the stress force of the
wood is suddenly released. Danger of
injury exists.
