Kick-back!
The term "kickback" describes what happens
when the running chainsaw suddenly kicks up-
ward and backward. Usually, this is caused by
contact between the tip of the cutter rail and the
workpiece or the saw chain becoming trapped.
In the event of kickback, large forces occur sud-
denly and violently. As a result, the chainsaw
usually reacts uncontrollably. This can often result
in very serious injuries to the worker or persons in
the vicinity. The risk of kickback is at its greatest
when the saw is positioned for a cut in the region
of the tip of the cutter rail, as the leverage eff ect is
greatest there. It is therefore safest to position the
saw as fl at as possible.
Warning!
•
Make sure that the chain tension is always
correctly adjusted.
•
Only use a chainsaw if it is in perfect working
order.
•
Only work with a saw chain that has been
properly sharpened in accordance with the
instructions.
•
Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the
cutter rail.
•
Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both
hands.
Cutting wood which is under tension
Danger!
Special care is required when cutting wood which
is under tension. Wood which is under tension
from which it is released by cutting may in some
cases react completely unpredictably and un-
controllably. In the worst case this could result in
extremely severe or even fatal injuries. This type
of work must only be performed by persons who
have been specially trained.

8. Maintenance

8.1 Replacing the saw chain and cutter rail
The cutter rail needs to be replaced if
the guide groove of the cutter rail is worn;
Proceed as described in the section "Assembly of
the cutter rail and the saw chain".

8.2 Checking the automatic chain lubrication
You should check the operation of the automatic
chain lubrication system on a regular basis in or-
der to guard against overheating and the associ-
ated damage to the cutter rail and the saw chain.
To do this, point the tip of the cutter rail towards
a smooth surface (board, section of a cut tree)
and allow the chainsaw to run. If an increasing oil
trace becomes evident during this process then
the automatic chain lubrication system is working
properly. If no clear oil trace is evident then please
refer to the corresponding instructions in "Troub-
leshooting". If the information contained there still
fails to remedy the situation then please contact
our service department or another similarly qua-
lifi ed workshop. Important! Do not actually touch
the surface with the tip of the cutter rail when per-
forming this test. Keep a safe distance (approx.
20 cm).

8.3 Sharpening the saw chain

Eff ective working with the chainsaw is only pos-
sible if the saw chain is in good condition and
sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback. The
saw chain can be re-sharpened by any dealer.
Do not attempt to sharpen the saw chain yourself
unless you have the necessary special tools and
experience.

9. Replacing the power cable

Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
