bar and saw chain attached to the chainsaw the
clutch can come loose and cause serious injury.
• Do not drop start. This method is very dangerous
because you may lose control of the chainsaw.
• Never start the product indoors. Exhaust fumes can
be dangerous if inhaled.
• Observe your surroundings and make sure that there
is no risk of people or animals coming in contact with
or affect your control of the product.
• Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the
kickback zone of the bar accidentally touches a
branch, nearby tree or some other object.
• Never use a chainsaw by holding it with one hand. A
chainsaw is not safely controlled with one hand; you
can cut yourself. Always have a secure, firm grip
around the handles with both hands.
• Always hold the chainsaw firmly with your right hand
on the top handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the
handles. You should use this grip whether you are
right handed or left handed. This grip minimizes the

effect of kickback and lets you keep the chainsaw
under control. Do not let go of the handles!
• Never use the chainsaw above shoulder height and
try not to cut with the tip of the bar.
• Do not use a chainsaw in a situation where you
cannot call for help in case of an accident.
• Sometimes chips get stuck in the clutch cover
causing the saw chain to jam. Always stop the
engine before cleaning.
• If the saw chain jams in the cut: stop the engine!
• Running an engine in a confined or badly ventilated
area can result in death due to asphyxiation or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
• It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation
you can face when using a chainsaw. Always
exercise care and use your common sense. Avoid all
situations which you consider to be beyond your
capability. If you still feel uncertain about operating
procedures after reading these instructions, you
should consult an expert before continuing. Do not
hesitate to contact your dealer or us if you have any
questions about the use of the chainsaw. We will
willingly be of service and provide you with advice as
well as help you to use your chainsaw both efficiently
and safely. Attend a training course in chainsaw
usage if possible. Your dealer, forestry school or
your library can provide information about which
training materials and courses are available.
