5.1 General safety notices
m CAUTION!: When working with tools that use fu-
el, the following basic rules must be followed in order
to minimise the risk of physical injury and/or damage
to the machine.
Read these notices before using the saw, and
store them safely.
1. Do not use the saw when you are tired, ill or un-
der the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
2. Be careful when handling fuel. Use the saw at a
distance of at least 3m from the fuel filling location.
3. Start cutting only when the working environment
has been tidied, when you have established se-
cure footing and planned an escape route from
the falling tree.
4. Before starting the chainsaw, make sure it is not
in contact with any objects.
5. Carry the chainsaw only when the motor has
stopped running, the blade cover is on the chain
bar and the exhaust is facing away from you.
6. Do not start a chainsaw that is damaged, incor-
rectly set up or assembled incompletely or loose-
ly. Ensure that the chainsaw stops when the chain
brake is activated.
7. Turn off the motor before putting the chainsaw
down.
8. When cutting small bushes and saplings, be par-
ticularly careful because the thin branches can
become caught in the saw and be ejected to-
wards you or unbalance you.
9. When cutting a branch under tension, be aware
of potential kickback when the tension is sudden-
ly released.
10. Ensure that handles are dry, clean and free from
oil or fuel.
