Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The
slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward
you or pull you o balance.
Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw
switched o and away from your body. When transporting
or storing the chain saw, always t the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and
changing the bar and chain. Improperly tensioned or lubricated
chain may either break or increase the chance for kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not inten-
ded. For example: do not use chain saw for cutting metal,
plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Use of the
chain saw for operations di erent than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an understan-
ding of the risks and how to avoid them. Serious injury could
occur to the operator or bystanders while felling a tree.
Follow all instructions when clearing jammed material,
storing or servicing the chain saw. Make sure the switch is
o and the battery pack is removed. Unexpected actuation
of the chain saw while clearing jammed material or servicing may
result in serious personal injury.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches
an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain
in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction,
kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the
guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw
which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into your saw.
As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your
cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and ngers encircling
the chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.
TThis helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better
control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
Only use replacement bars and chains speci ed by the
manufacturer. IIncorrect replacement guide bars and chains may
cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback.
Additional Safety and Working Instructions
It is recommended to cut logs on a saw-horse or cradle when opera-
ting the machine for the rst time.
Ensure all guards, handles, and spiked bumper are properly tted
and are in good condition.
Persons using the chain saw should be in good health. The chain
saw is heavy, so the operator must be physically t.
The operator should be alert, have a good vision, mobility, balance,
and manual dexterity. If there is any doubt, do not operate the
chain saw.
Do not start using the chain saw until you have a clear work area,
secure footing, and a planned retreat path away from a falling tree.
Beware of the emission of lubricant mist and saw dust.Wear a mask
or respirator, if required.
Do not cut vines and/or small undergrowth (less than 75 mm in
diameter).
Always hold the chain saw with both hands during operation. Use a
rm grip with thumbs and ngers encircling the chain saw handles.
Right hand must be on the rear handle and left hand on the front
handle.
Before starting the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting any object.
Do not modify the chain saw in any way or use it to power any
attachments or devices not recommended by the manufacturer for
your chain saw.
There should be a rst-aid kit containing large wound dressings and
a means to summon attention (e.g., whistle) close to the operator.
A larger more comprehensive kit should be reasonably nearby.
An incorrectly tensioned chain can jump o the guide bar and could
result in serious injury or fatality. The length of the chain depends
on the temperature. Check the tension frequently.
You should get used to your new chain saw by making simple cuts
on securely supported wood. Do this whenever you have not ope-
rated the saw for some time.To reduce the risk of injury associated
with contacting moving parts, always stop the motor, apply the
chain brake, remove the battery pack and make sure all moving
parts have come to a stop before:
• cleaning or clearing a blockage
• leaving the machine unattended
• installing or removing attachments
• checking, conducting maintenance or working on the machine
The size of the work area depends on the job being performed as
well as the size of the tree or work piece involved.For example, fel-
ling a tree requires a larger work area than making other cuts, i.e.,
bucking cuts, etc. The operator needs to be aware and in control of
everything happening in the work area.
Do not cut with your body in line with the guide bar and chain.If
you experience kickback, this will help prevent the chain coming
into contact with your head or body.
Do not use a back-and-forward sawing motion, let the chain do the
work.Keep the chain sharp and do not try to push the chain through
the cut.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.Be ready to
take on the weight of the saw as it cuts free from the wood.Failure
to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
Do not stop the saw in the middle of a cutting operation.
Keep the saw running until it is already removed from the cut.Do
not x the on/o switch in the „on" position when using the saw
hand-held.
