5.6 Safety notices for maintenance/storage
Have your machine repaired by qualified specialists
and only with original spare parts. This ensures the
safety of the machine.
1. Before use, always visually check the tool for
wear and tear or damage. Replace worn or dam-
aged components and bolts. Tighten all nuts,
bolts and machine screws to ensure that the
equipment is in a safe operating condition.
2. Regularly check the fuel system for leakage or
signs of abrasion, for example from porous fuel
lines, loose or missing clamps and damage to the
tank or the tank lid. All faults must be resolved
before use.
3. Before checking or adjusting the machine or the
motor, remove the spark plug or the ignition ca-
ble, respectively, to prevent accidental start-up.
m WARNING
Improper maintenance or non-compliance or not re-
solving a problem can become a hazard during oper-
ation. Only ever work with machines that have been
serviced regularly and properly. This is the only way
you can ensure that you can run your machine safe-
ly, economically and without problems.
Do not clean, service, adjust or repair the tool when
it is running. Moving parts can cause severe injuries.
Do not use petrol or other flammable solvents to
clean the machine components.
m WARNING
Fumes from fuel and solvents can cause explosions.
After repairs and maintenance work, re-attach the
safety devices to the machine.
Ensure the machine is operational, in particular,
check the fuel system for leak-tightness.
Always clear the motor's cooling fins of contamination.
m DANGER
In accordance with the applicable product liability
laws, the manufacturer of this device assumes no li-
ability for damage to the device or caused by the de-
vice arising from:
• Installing and replacing non-original spare parts,
• Removing or changing safety components.
5.7 Operating instructions
m Important notices
1. Turn off the motor if the saw comes in contact
with foreign objects. Check the saw and, if ap-
plicable, repair it.
2. Protect the chain from dirt and sand. Even small
quantities of dirt can quickly make the chain blunt
and increase the risk of kickback.

3. Start by cutting up smaller logs to practise in or-
der to get a feel for the device, before attempting
difficult tasks.
4. Activate the throttle at maximum, before starting
sawing.
5. Press the casing of the chainsaw against the log
when starting sawing.
6. Run the device at full throttle throughout the
whole sawing process.
7. Let the saw do the work. Only use slight down-
wards pressure.
8. Release the throttle as soon as you have finished
your work so the motor runs idle. If you let the
machine run at full throttle without load, there will
be unnecessary wear and tear.
9. So that you do not lose control of the device after
the chain exits the wood, you should not apply any
pressure to the saw towards the end of the cut.
10. Check the idle setting after starting. The saw unit
must be at a standstill at idle. If the cutting unit
moves at idle, the idle speed must be reduced
(see "Setting the idle speed").
11. Turn off the device before putting it down.
12. If the device becomes jammed whilst cutting,
it must be turned off immediately and careful-
ly freed. Then the device should be checked for
damage (e.g. bent guide bar) and then a trial run
should be carried out.
13. Before carrying out the final cut, check to ensure
that there are no bystanders, animals or obsta-
cles are in the area where debris may land.
14. Branches that are tensioned must be cut from
underneath in an upwards motion in order to en-
sure that the chainsaw does not become jammed.
15. In order to maintain full control at the moment of
cutting all the way through, reduce the pressing
force towards the end of the cut, without loosen-
ing your firm grip of the handles of the chainsaw.
Ensure that the saw chain does not come into
contact with the ground.
Kickback
• When working with the chainsaw, you may en-
counter a hazardous kickback.
• This kickback arises if the top area of the guide bar
accidentally comes into contact with wood or an-
other solid object.
• Before the chainsaw is guided into the cutting ar-
ea, it can slip away to the side or jump up.
• (ATTENTION!: Increased risk of kickback!)
• The chainsaw could be thrown or pushed towards
the operator in an uncontrolled manner and with
high energy (risk of injury!).
Observe the following in order to avoid kickbacks:
• Plunge work (directly plunging the tip of the bar in-
to the wood) may only be performed by specially
trained personnel!
