Start-up safety
►Do not work alone, just in case some-
one must be nearby (within earshot).
►The combustion engine chain saw must
not be used in the vicinity of human
habitation. Make sure that there are no
bystanders in the area where the saw is
being used. Animal access should also be
prevented.
►Before starting the saw, check that it
is working perfectly and that it is in
good condition. Pay particular attention
to the following: chain brake action, chain
sharpening and chain tension, brake cover
securely, smooth operation of the throttle
lever and blocking of this lever. Check that
the handles are clean and dry for health
and safety reasons and that the START /
STOP switch is working correctly.
►The saw should only be started after
complete assembly and inspection. Us-
ing a fully equipped tool should be the rule.
►The operator must be in a stable posi-
tion before starting.
►The saw should only be started in the
order specified in the maintenance in-
structions. Any other way of launching is
unacceptable.
►When starting, the saw should be sup-
ported securely and held firmly. Both
the blade of the chain and the chain itself
must not touch anything.
►During operation, hold the saw with
both hands: with the right hand for the
rear handle, and with the left for the arc
handle. The grips should be gripped with
a fi rm grip on the palm and thumb.
►WARNING: after releasing the throttle
lever, the cutting chain will still move for a
while (inertia eff ect).
►You should constantly pay attention to
a stable position.
►The saw should be held in such a way
as not to inhale the exhaust fumes. Do

not work in closed rooms (danger of poi-
soning).
►In the event of a noticeable interruption
in the operation of the saw, it should be
turned off immediately.
►Turn off the engine before checking the
tension of the cutting chain for tension,
replacement or troubleshooting.
►If the saw blade strikes a stone, nail, or
similar hard object, turn off the engine
immediately and check the device.
The entire chain saw must be checked to
ensure that it is in good working order in
the event of forceful influences such as
impacts or falls!
►During breaks in work, the saw should
be switched off and positioned so that
it does not endanger anyone’s safety.
WARNING: do not place a high-
ly heated saw on dry grass or
flammable objects. The exhaust
silencer is a source of very high
temperatures (fi re hazard).
►WARNING: Oil dripping from the cut-
ting chain and blade after turning off
the saw is harmful to the environment,
therefore an appropriate pad should be
used.
Throwing away the saw
►When using the chain saw, the saw
kickback phenomenon may occur.
►This can happen if the top of the end of
the blade inadvertently touches a tree
or other hard object.
►In this case, the saw will be thrown un-
controllably with great force towards
the operator. Risk of injury! To avoid
this, observe the following instruc-
tions:Sawing (direct sawing of wood
with a saw blade) must only be carried
out by a specially trained person!
►Always observe the position of the end
of the cutting chain blade. Be careful
when continuing cuts that have started.
►Start sawing with the saw running.
►Always sharpen the cutting chain cor-
rectly. When doing this, pay attention to
the correct height of the depth gauge.
►Do not cut multiple branches at the
same time. When pruning branches, be
careful not to touch other branches with
the saw.
►When sawing, pay attention to closely
adjacent trunks.
Work behavior / Work methods
►Work should only be done with good
visibility and good lighting. Special at-
tention must be paid to wet soil, ice and
snow (risk of slipping). Freshly sanded
wood (kara) poses an increased risk of
slipping.
►You cannot work on an unstable foun-
dation. Pay attention to objects that can
interfere with your work and that you can
trip over. All the time it is necessary to
monitor the preservation of a stable posi-
tion.
►You should never cut above shoulder
height.
►Never saw while standing on a ladder.
►Never climb a tree to work with a chain
saw.
►Do not work in an excessively inclined
position.
►The saw should be guided in such a
way that no part of the body is in the
continued grip of the cutting chain.
►The saw should only be used for cut-
ting trees.
►Do not touch the ground with the mov-
ing saw chain.
►The saw should not be used to plan and
cut grooves in wood.
►The cutting area must be free of foreign
bodies such as sand, stones, nails, etc.
Foreign objects can damage the saw or
cause it to be thrown back.
►When cutting round timber, use a sta-
ble support (trestle, if possible). It is not
allowed for another person or the operator
himself to hold a part of the tree.
►Round wood elements should be rein-
forced so that they cannot rotate during
cutting.
►When felling trees or cross-cutting, be
sure to hook the saw with the claw.
►Before each cross-cut, the claw engage-
ment must be fi rmly set and only then
can the saw be started to cut the tree.
In this case, the saw is guided upward by
the rear handle, and by the arc handle it
is guided around the claw engagement as
around the center of rotation. Cutting is
resumed by lightly pressing the arc han-
dle. The saw should then be turned back
slightly. Submerge the claw engagement
deeper and raise the rear handle again.
►Work operations consisting of sawing
timber or rip sawing may only be car-
ried out by specially trained persons
