The user must have read the instruc-
tions prior to use, be thoroughly
instructed in the use of the chainsaw
and be knowledgeable about the risks
that may occur through use of the
chainsaw.
For the sake of the user's safety, the
chainsaw may only be used with the
combination of blade and chain indi-
cated under "Technical data", and may
only be used with original spare parts
for repairs and maintenance of the
chainsaw.
Do not modify the chainsaw in any
way!
Never use the chainsaw if the throttle,
safety switch and protective shield with
trigger for the chain brake do not func-
tion correctly.
Do not obstruct or in any way prevent
the function of the protective shield.
Switch the chainsaw off before releas-
ing the chain brake.
Always follow the engine maintenance
instructions for the chainsaw under
"Maintenance".
Always ensure there is sufficient chain
oil in the tank and that the chain is filed
and lubricated.
Never start the engine without the air
filter in place or if the silencer is de-
fective. Stop the engine immediately if
engine problems occur.
Stop the engine and remove the cable
from the spark plug before removing
any trapped items from the blade and
before cleaning or maintenance.
Always use protective gloves when
handling the chain. Keep the chain
well away from your body, hands and
fingers whilst it is running.
Ensure the chain is not in contact with
anything before starting the engine.
Never hold the chainsaw in your hand
when starting it. If the chain hits you,
you may be seriously injured.
Never walk around with the chainsaw
while the chain is running.
Never put the chainsaw down before it
has completely stopped running. The
chain will continue to run a short time
after you release the throttle.
Always hold the chainsaw with both

use.
Do not allow other people or animals to
come within a radius of 3 metres of the

cutting with the end of the blade.
Do not use the chainsaw for sawing any
material other than wood.
Ensure that you do not accidentally
cut power or telephone cables, etc. and
always make sure there are no other
people or animals near the chainsaw
when starting or using the chainsaw.
Lift the blade from the item being cut
while the chain is still running. If the
chain stops while it is in the workpiece,
it can pull the operator forward and
cause injury.
Always fit the protective sleeve on the
blade when transporting or storing the
chainsaw.
