5.4 Switching the engine off
Release the throttle control and move the stop switch to the "Stop" position.
Always make sure that the cutting tool has come to a complete standstill before placing the
machine down.
Tip:
We recommend that users get into the habit of doing the following whenever temporarily switching off
the chainsaw. Once the engine has come to a complete standstill,
o move the stop switch straight back to the operating position, and
o activate the chain brake ready for the subsequent start-up.
This will help to make sure that these steps are not forgotten when the chainsaw is next started.
As a general rule, you should always check the starting settings before every start-up.
Switching the engine off in the event of a malfunction:
If – due to a malfunction of the stop switch – it is not possible to switch the engine off, you can also
close the choke flap (choke pulled out) to bring the engine to a standstill..
Caution – the chainsaw runs at part throttle in the process!
In this case do not restart the tool – have it checked out immediately by a specialist workshop
instead!!
6. Hazards caused by kickback
When working with the chainsaw, careless or incorrect working methods can cause a
dangerous situation which is referred to as "kickback". Kickback forces can occur when the
running saw chain comes into contact with solid objects or if the saw chain suddenly gets
stuck in the cut. In the process, the chainsaw is accelerated violently and uncontrollably.
Depending on the contact point of the running saw chain, the forces acting on the chainsaw are
directed as follows, resulting in the corresponding acceleration of the tool:
1. Contact point (or sticking point during a cut) at the tip of the guide rail:
Danger:
The guide bar is kicked up suddenly and quickly.
As the user is holding the chainsaw by the handles, this
results in a rotational acceleration of the chainsaw, during
which the guide bar is accelerated towards the head of the
operator.
Although this rotational acceleration instantly activates the
chain brake, the magnitude of the acceleration and the
uncontrolled response of the operator can result in serious
accidents.
