Intended use
This machine is a particularly light and easy to handle chain saw with overhead
mounted handle. This chainsaw is designed especially for tree care and surgery.
These chainsaws may therefore only be operated by “Chainsaw operators with addi-
tional training for work using raised platforms or ladder platforms and/or using rope
climbing techniques”.
For occasional use on thin wood, fruit tree care, felling, branch trimming or cutting
to length.
Clearing work or preparing firewood may only be completed as long as the diameter
of the wood does not exceed the cut length (20 cm). For this work, we recommend a
conventional chainsaw with extended handle clearance and cutting length.
Non-permitted users:
People who are not familiar with the operating manual, children under the age of 16
and people under the influence of alcohol, drugs and medication, as well as those
who are tired or ill.
The chain is designed exclusively for sawing wood. You may only fell trees if you have
received the appropriate training. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for dam-
age caused by improper or incorrect usage.
The machine is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed
to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for
any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that this equipment has been designed for DIY/domestic use only and
has not been designed for use in commercial. trade or industrial applications Our
warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial busi-
nesses or for equivalent purposes.
mDANGER
The manufacturer of this equipment shall be not liable to the applicable Product Lia-
bility Act for damages arising in this device or this unit at:

Safety regulations
General notes
• To ensure a safe use the operator has to read and follow all safety pre-
cautions in the owner’s manual to familiarize himself with the handling
of the chain saw. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious
injury.
• It is recommended to lend the chain saw only to people who are experi-
enced in working with chain saws. Always hand over the owner‘s and safe-
ty manual.
• Children and youths under the age of 18 are prohibited to operate the saw.
Youths above the age of 16 are exempted from this prohibition for the pur-
pose of their education when being under supervision of an expert.
• Working with the chain saw requires high attention.
• Only work in good physical condition. Tiredness also leads to inattention.
Keep especially high attention at the end of your working time. All opera-
tions should be done calmly and carefully. The operator is responsible to
third parties. Never work under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medica-
ments.
• Provide a fire extinguisher when working in a highly flammable and dry
vegetation (wildfire risk).
Personal Protective Equipment
• To avoidinjuriesto the head,eyes,hands,feet or hearing damage while
using the chainsaw, the following personal protective equipment and
safety gear must be worn.
• The clothing must be fit for purpose, i.e. be snug fitting but not provide any
hindrance. Do not wear any jewellery or clothing which may get caught on
bushes or branches. If you have long hair, wear a hair net!
• A safety helmet must be worn for all work in woods or forests. It protects
you from falling branches. The safety helmet must be regularly checked for
damage and replaced every 5 years at the latest. Only use approved safety
helmets.
• The face guard on the helmet (alternatively: safety glasses/goggles) pro-
tects against sawdust and wood splinters.
To prevent injuries to the eyes, you must always wear eye protection or a
face guard when working with the chainsaw.
Safety regulations

• To avoid hearing damage wear your proper personal sound protection
equipment (ear plugs or ear muffs, etc.)
• The safety/cut protection jacket has layers of woven nylon in it and protects
against cuts. It must always be worn when working in raised platforms or
ladder platforms and when using rope climbing techniques.
• The safety overalls have layers of woven nylon in them and protect against
cuts. It is strongly recommended to use them.
• Working gloves made from tough leather are part of the prescribed equip-
ment and must always be worn when working with the chainsaw.
• When working with the chainsaw, safety shoes or safety boots with a good
grip, steel toecap and leg protection should be worn. A safety shoe with
cut protection liner offers protection against cuts and ensures firm footing.
When working in the tree, safety boots must be specially suited for use with
climbing techniques.
• Maintain the chainsaw in good operating condition; incorrect maintenance,
use of non-conforming replacement parts, or removal or modification of
safety equipment may lead to severe property or personal damages.
• Always use replacement guide rails and chainsaws prescribed by the man-
ufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide rails and chainsaws may cause the
chainsaw and/or kickback.
WARNING!:
This chain saw is designed especially for tree care and surgery. Only per-
sons trained in tree care and surgery may use this saw. Observe all lit-
eratur, procedures and recommendations from the relevant profession-
al organization. Failure to do so constitutes a high accident risk. We rec-
ommend always using a rising platform for sawing in trees. Rappelling
techniques are extremely dangerous and require special training. The
operator must be trained in and familiar with the use of safety equip-
ment and working and climbing techniques. Always use the restraining
equipment for both the operator and the saw!
ATTENTION!
Danger of poisoning; exhaust, fuel, lubricant vapour, sawdust, and lubri-
cants are poisonous, exhaust may not be inhaled

Fuels / Refuelling
• When refuelling the chain saw the engine must be switched off.
• Smoking and open fire are not permitted.
• Before refuelling allow the machine to cool down fully.
• Fuels might contain solvent-like substances. Avoid skin and eye contact
with mineral oil products.
Always wear protective gloves while refuelling. Often change and clean
your protective clothing. Do not inhale fuel vapours. Inhaling fuel vapours
might cause physical harm.
• Be careful not to spill fuel or chain oil. Immediately clean the chain saw if
fuel or chain oil has been spilled. Keep away fuel from clothing. Immediate-
ly change your clothing if fuel has been spilled on it.
• Make sure not to spill fuel or chain oil into the soil (environmental protec-
tion). Use a proper base.
• Do not refuel in closed rooms. Fuel vapours accumulate at the soil (risk of
explosion).
• Tighten the tank cap as far as it will go.
• Move the chain saw at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling point before start-
ing the engine.
• Fuels have a limited storage life. Only buy that amount which will be used
in measurable period.
• Store and transport fuel and chain oil only in proper containers. Keep fuel
and chain oil away from children.
Putting into operation
• Do not work alone. Keep within calling distance of other in case of in-
jury.
• Ensure that no children or other persons stay close to you and the opera-
tional range of the saw. Pay also attention to animals.
• Prior to starting the work or if the chainsaw falls down, check to en-
sure smooth function and correct, safe operating condition! In par-
ticular check the function of the chain brake, correctly mounted chain bar,
properly sharpened and tensioned saw chain, firmly attached chain sprock-
et guard, free movement of the throttle lever and the function of the throt-
tle lever lock, clean and dry handles, the function of the start/stop switch.
• Do not start the saw until it has been completely assembled and inspected.
In principle the saw can only be operated when completely and securely as-
sembled!

• Before starting the saw the operator has to ensure a good footing.
• Only start the saw as described in this manual. Other starting techniques are
not permitted.
• When starting up, the machine must be safely supported and firmly held.
The bar and chain must be free-standing.
• Hold the saw with both hands while working. Your right hand on the rear
grip and your left hand on the tubular handle. Use a firm grip with thumbs.
Working with one hand is very dangerous because the saw might fall un-
controlled at the end of a cut (increased risk of injury). Furthermore a kick-
back can‘t be diminished when sawing with one hand!
• CAUTION: Releasing the throttle the chain might trail a short period
(Free-wheeling effect).
• Always make sure you have a good footing.
• Operate the chain saw in such a way that you don‘t inhale the exhaust
fumes. Do not work in enclosed spaces (risk of poisoning).
• Switch the engine off immediately if there are any noticeable changes
in the behaviour of the device.
• Always stop the engine and wear gloves when checking or adjusting
the chain tension.
• Ifyouhit anystones, nails,orother hardobjectswiththe sawequipment, the
engine must be immediately switched off and the saw equipment checked.
• During work breaks, and before leaving the work place, the chainsaw must
be switched off and placed so that no-one can be endangered by it.
• Do not place a chainsaw which is hot directly onto dry grass or other flam-
mable objects. The silencer gives off a tremendous amount of heat. (risk of
fire).
• CAUTION!: Dripping oil from the chain and bar can result in contamination
when the chainsaw is placed down! Always use a suitable mat or surface.
Kickback
• A hazardous kickback may occur while working with the chain saw.
• Kickback occurs when the upper quadrant of the bar nose unexpectedly,
unintentionally contacts solid material in the wood.
• Before the chainsaw is guided to the cutting area, it can slip away to the side
or jump up.
(CAUTION!: Increasing risk of kickback!)
• The chainsaw may therefore be thrown or pushed towards the chainsaw

operator in an uncontrolled, high-energy manner (risk of injury!).
To avoid a kickback please note following instructions:
• Plunge work (directly plunging the tip of the bar into the wood) may only be
performed by specially trained personnel!
• Always watch the tip of the bar. Take care when continuing cuts which have
already been started.
• Start the cut with the chainsaw running!
• Always sharpen the chain correctly. Pay particular attention to the depth
limiter being at the correct height!
• Do not cut more than one log at a time! When removing branches, ensure
that no other branch is touched.
• When cutting to length, pay attention to closely adjacent branches.
Operating instructions and techniques
• Only operate the saw under good visibility and daylight conditions. Take ex-
treme care in wet and freezing weather (rain, snow, ice) (risk of tripping). In-
creased risk of slipping insists on freshly peeled wood.
• Do not work on an unstable surface. Pay attention to obstacles in the work-
ing area, risk of tripping. Always maintain a firm foothold.
• Never use the saw above shoulder height
• Never work on a ladder
• Never work and climb into a tree with the chain saw without an appropriate
restraint system for men and machine.
• We recommend always using a rising platform for sawing.
• Don’t overreach.
• Position the chain saw in such a way that your body is clear of the cutting at-
tachment whenever the engine is running.
• Only cut wood with the chain saw.
• Don‘t touch the ground with the running chain saw.
• Do not use the chainsaw to pry or shovel away when removing pieces of
wood or other objects.
• Clean the cutting area of foreign bodies such as sand, stones, nails, etc. For-
eign bodies damage the saw equipment and can result in dangerous kick-
back.
• When cutting sawn wood use a safe ground (if possible use a sawhorse).
Never permit another person to hold the log. Never hold the log with your
leg or foot.
Safety regulations

• Round wood or logs should be secured against turning while they are be-
ing cut.
• For felling or cross-cutting, the spike bar (claw stop) must be applied
to the wood to be cut. The use of the spike bar is also recommended when
cutting through thick branches.
• Before every cross-cut, firmly position the spike bar and only then saw into
the wood with the chainsaw running. The saw is then lifted up using the
rear grip and guided using the front handle. The spike bar acts as a pivot
point. Repositioning is done using light pressure on the front handle. Pull
the saw back slightly to do this.
Insert the spike bar deeper and lift up again using the rear grip.
• Plunge and longitudinal cuts may only be performed by specially
trained personnel (increased risk of kickback).
• Longitudinal cuts may only be done at as shallow an angle as possible. It
is particularly important to be careful here, as the spike bar cannot engage.
• Only ever pull the saw equipment from the wood with the chain running.
• If multiple cuts are to be performed, the throttle lever must be released be-
tween cuts.
• Take care when cutting splintery wood. Cut pieces of wood can be carried
away (risk of injury).
• When cutting using the top of the bar, the chainsaw can be pushed towards
the operator if the chain bind up. For this reason, if possible, cut using the
bottom side of the bar as the saw will be pulled away from the body towards
the wood.
• Logs under strain require special attention to prevent the saw from pinch-
ing. The first cut is made on the compression side to relieve the stress on the
log. Only then perform the separating cut using the opposite side. If the saw
pinches stop the engine and remove it from the log.
CAUTION!:
Felling and branch removal work as well as work on wind damage may
only be performed by trained personnel! Risk of injury!
• When removing branches, support the chainsaw on the trunk if possible.
You must not cut using the tip of the bar to do this (risk of kickback).
• Be extremely cautious when cutting limbs under tension. The limbs could
spring back toward the operator and cause loss of control of the saw or inju-
ry to the operator. Do not cut freely hanging branches from below.
• When bucking, do not stand on the log!
Safety regulations

• Felling work may only be started when it has been ensured that:
a) Only persons involved in the felling work are in the felling area,
b) An obstacle free path to the rear is available for everyone involved in the
felling work (this rearwards path must run straight back at approx. 45°).
c) The trunk base must be free from all foreign bodies, brushwood and
branches. Make sure you have firm footing (risk of stumbling).
d)When felling, maintain a distance of at least 2 1/2 tree lengths from the
nearest person and any other objects!
• Observing the general condition of the tree: The neutral lean of the tree
- dry and loosely hanging branches - height of the tree -natural overhang -
is the tree rotted?
• Observe the wind direction and speed. Felling work must not be done when
there are strong gusts of wind. Avoid sawdust (pay attention to the wind di-
rection!)
• Cutting the trunk base swelling:
If the tree has large buttress roots, cut into the largest buttresses vertically
first (horizontally next) and remove
• Placing a felling notch:
The felling notch when properly placed determines the direction in which
the tree will fall. It is made perpendicular to the line of fall and should be as
close to the ground as possible. Cut the felling notch to a depth of about 1/3
to 1/5 of the trunk diameter. It should be in no case higher than it is deep.
Make the felling notch very carefully.
• Any notch corrections must be cut across the whole width.
• Begin the felling cut slighty higher than the felling notch and on the op-
posite side of the tree. Then cut horizontally through towards the felling
notch. Apply the chain saw with its spikes directly behind the uncut portion
of wood and cut toward the notch Leave approximately 1/10 of the tree di-
ameter uncut!
• This is the hinge Do not cut through the hinge because you could lose con-
trol of the direction of the fall. Drive wedges into the felling cut where nec-
essary to control the direction of the fall!
• Wedges should be of wood, light alloy or plastic - never of steel, which can
cause kickback and damage to the chain.
• Always keep to the side of the falling tree when felling.
• Watch out for falling libs when moving back after a felling cut.
• When working on a hill make sure to stand on the up-hill side or beside of
the log or lying tree.
Safety regulations

• Watch out for rolling logs.
Transport and storage
• When carrying and changing your position while working with the
chain saw the engine must be stopped or the chain brake has to be ac-
tivated to avoid an unintentional running of the chain.
• Never carry and transport the chain saw when the chain is running!
• When transporting the saw longer distances the supplied chain protection
cover should be over the chain in any case.
• Carry the chain saw only by the handle. The guide bar should be behind
you. Avoid touching the exhaust muffler (risk of burning).
• When transporting in a vehicle ensure a safe grounding of the chain saw to
prevent fuel or chain oil spillage.
• Chainsaws are always transported with an attached rail protection to pre-
vent damage or injuries.
• Safely store the chain saw in a dry space. The saw should not be stored out-
side. Keep the chain saw out of the reach of children.
• Fuel and oil tank have to be emptied completely when the chain saw is
stored over a long period or dispatched
• If the chainsaw/guide rail should not be disassembled, then always attach
the transport protection.
Maintenance
• For all maintenance work the chain saw has to be stopped and the plug
connector be switched off!
• Always check the safe operating condition especially the function of the
chain brake of the chain saw before each start of work. Always pay special
attention to a proper sharpend and tensioned chain.
• Operate the machine so that it works with a minimum of noise and emission.
Therefor check the correct settings of the carburettor.
• Clean the chain saw regularly.
• Regularly check the tank caps for tightness.
Note the accident prevention regulations of the responsible profession-
al association and insurance. Don not make any modifications to the ma-
chine! You may put at risk your personal security!
Maintenance and service work can only be performed as far as described in
this manual. All further work has to be assumed by the service center.

Use only original spare parts and accessories. Not using original spare parts,
accessories, guard chain combinations and lengths will lead to an increased
risk of injuries. In case of accidents or damages caused by using unauthorised
sawing devices or accessories refuse all liability.
First aid
For potentially occurring accidents, the First Aid kit, according to DIN 13164,
should always be handy at the work place. Material taken from the First Aid kit
must be replaced immediately.
When you are requesting help, give the following information:
• Location of accident
• Type of accident
• Number of injured people
• Type of injuries
• Who is reporting
Note
In case of extended working periods, the operating personnel may suffer cir-
culatory disturbances in their hands (vibration white finger) due to vibrations.
Raynaud‘s syndrome is a vascular disease that causes the small blood vessels
on the fingers and toes to cramp in spasms. The affected areas are no longer
supplied with sufficient blood and therefore appear extremely pale. The fre-
quent use of vibrating devices can cause nerve damage in people whose cir-
culation is impaired (e.g. smokers, diabetics). If you notice unusual adverse ef-
fects, stop working immediately and seek medical advice.
Information about the duration of use cannot be provided in this case,
since this can vary from person to person.
Observe the following information to reduce hazards:
• Keep your body and especially your hands warm in cold weather.
• Take regular breaks and move your hands to promote circulation.
• Ensure as little vibration as possible at the machine via regular maintenance
and stable parts on the device.
