Precautions against kickback

CAUTION KICKBACK!

► Be aware of the danger of kickback when working with the appli-

ance. There is a risk of personal injury. You can avoid kickbacks by

being careful and using the correct sawing technique.

■ Contact with the tip of the rail may in some cases lead to an unexpect-

ed rearwards reaction resulting in the guide rail ﬂying upwards towards

the operator (see ﬁgure).

■ Kickbacks can occur if the tip of the guide rail touches an object or if

the wood bends and the saw chain gets caught in the cut (see ﬁgure).

■ If the saw chain jams in the upper edge of the guide rail, the rail can

kick back violently towards the operator.

■ Any such reaction can lead to you losing control over the saw and

possibly injuring yourself. Do not rely solely on the chainsaw's built-in

safety devices. As the user of a chainsaw, you can take a number

of measures to avoid accidents and injury. A kickback is caused by

incorrect use or misuse of the power tool. It can be avoided by taking

proper precautions, as described below:

■ Hold the saw ﬁrmly with both hands, with your thumb and ﬁngers

around the handles of the chainsaw. Position your body and arms

so you can withstand kickback forces. If suitable measures are taken,

the operator can control the recoil forces. Never let go of the chainsaw.

■ Avoid any abnormal posture and do not saw over shoulder height.

This will prevent inadvertent contact with the tip of the rail and allows

a better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situations.

■ Always use the replacement rails and saw chains speciﬁed by the

manufacturer. Incorrect replacement rails and saw chains can lead to

a tearing of the saw chain and/or kickback.

■ Follow the manufacturer's instructions for sharpening and mainten-

ance of the saw chain. Setting the depth limiter too low can increase

the risk of kickback.

■ Do not saw with the tip of the blade. This can lead to a kickback.

■ Ensure that there aren’t any objects on the ground that you can trip

over.

Additional safety instructions

CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY!

► To prevent injuries, never touch the appliance above the safety ring

while it is running!

■ During operation, no other person or animal may be within a radius

of 15 metres. The operator is responsible for third parties within the

working area.

■ Keep the appliance, the cutting mechanism and the blade guard in

good condition to prevent injury.

■ Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the

appliance.

■ Do not use the appliance until you have familiarised yourself with its

use.

■ Do not work with a damaged or incomplete appliance or an appli-

ance that has been modiﬁed without the consent of the manufacturer.

Never use the unit with defective protective equipment. Do not use the

appliance if it has a defective On/Oﬀ switch. Before use, check the

appliance's safety condition, especially the blade and the saw chain.

If the appliance has been dropped, check for signiﬁcant damage or

defects.

■ Never start the appliance before the blade, saw chain and sprocket

covers have been ﬁtted correctly.

■ When starting and operating the appliance, ensure that it does not

come into contact with the ground, stones, wire or other foreign mater-

ial. Switch oﬀ the appliance before you put it down.

■ The appliance is designed for two-handed operation. Never work with

one hand.

■ Hold the appliance only by the insulated handles as the saw chain

could come into contact with hidden power lines. Contact between the

saw chain and a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the power

tool live and could give the operator an electric shock.

■ Make sure that the appliance is switched oﬀ when relocating the appli-

ance and that you cannot accidentally touch the On/Oﬀ switch. Carry

the appliance with the saw chain and blade facing backwards. Attach

the blade guard during transportation.

■ Attach the bumper spike ﬁrmly before every cut and do not start until

this has been done.

■ Be extremely careful when sawing small bushes and branches. The thin

branches and twigs can catch in the saw and ﬂy in your direction or

knock you oﬀ balance.

■ Do not cut any wood that is lying on the ground and do not attempt to

saw roots that are protruding from the soil. Avoid immersing the saw

chain in the soil at all costs, as this could blunt the saw chain.

When sawing a branch under tension, be aware of the possibility of

the branch ﬂying back once the tension is suddenly removed. There is

a risk of personal injury.

■ Do not use force to free the appliance if the cutting tools get caught

or jammed in branches. Switch the appliance oﬀ immediately and do

not switch it on until the blockage has been removed. There is a risk of

injury!
