of the chainsaw.

• Be particularly careful when cutting undergrowth

and young trees. Thin material can get caught in the

saw-chain and be ejected in your direction or make

you lose your balance.

• Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the

saw-chain not moving and the guide bar pointing

backwards. During transport and storage of the

chainsaw always attach the safety cover. Careful

handling of the chainsaw reduces the likelihood of ac-

cidentally touching the running saw-chain.

• Follow the instructions for lubrication, chain ten-

sion and replacement of accessories. An improp-

erly tensioned or lubricated chain can either break or

increase the kickback risk.

• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and

grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery and cause

loss of control.

Causes and prevention of kickback:

−Kickback can occur when the tip of the guide bar

touches an object or when the timber bends and the

saw-chain becomes caught in the cut.

−Contact with the guide bar tip can, in some cases, lead

to an unexpected backwards reaction in which the

guide bar is thrown up and in the direction of the op-

erator.

−If the saw-chain becomes caught at the top of the

guide bar, the guide bar can quickly kick back towards

the operator.

−Each of these reactions can cause you to lose control

over the saw and potentially to get severely injured. Do

not exclusively trust the safety devices built into the

chainsaw. As the user of a chainsaw, you should take

di󰀨erent measures to work accident and injury free.

Kickback is the consequence of incorrect or erratic use

of the machine. It can be prevented by appropriate safe-

ty measures such as described below:

• Hold the saw with both hands, ensuring thumbs

and ngers clasp the handles of the chainsaw. Po-

sition your body and arms in such a way that you

can withstand kickback forces. If appropriate meas-

ures are taken, the operator can control kickback forc-

es. Never let go of the chainsaw.

• Avoid an abnormal body posture and do not saw

above shoulder height. This prevents accidental con-

tact with the tip of the guide bar and it enables better

control of the chainsaw in unexpected situations.

• Always use replacement guide bars and saw-

chains specied by the manufacturer. Incorrect

replacement guide bars and saw-chains can cause

breaking of the chain and/or kickback. (see chapter 13)

• Follow the manufacturer‘s instructions concern-

ing sharpening and maintenance of the saw-chain.

Over-reduction of depth limiters increases kickback

tendency.

5.6 Safety notices for maintenance / storage

Have your machine repaired by qualied 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 damaged com-

ponents and bolts. Tighten all nuts, bolts and ma-

chine 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. (see

chapter 13)

3. Before checking or adjusting the machine or the mo-

tor, remove the spark plug or the ignition cable, re-

spectively, to prevent accidental start-up.

Storage

1. Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank in-

side buildings where the fumes can come into con-

tact with open re or sparks.

2. Before storing the chainsaw in a closed room, allow

the motor to cool down.

3. In order to reduce the risk of re, keep the motor

sound absorbers and fuel storage area free from or-

ganic material and excessive lubricant.

Long-term storage/packing away for winter

1. If you are storing the machine long-term or for winter,

remove all the fuel. Fuels are chemical compounds

that change their properties when stored long-term.

Removing the fuel must take place outdoors.

Do not store and use the chain saw at temperatures be-

low 0 ° C!

m WARNING

Improper maintenance or non-compliance or not resolv-

ing a problem can become a hazard during operation.

Only ever work with machines that have been serviced

regularly and properly. This is the only way you can en-

sure that you can run your machine safely, 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 ammable 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
