SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listedbelowmayresultinelectricshock,reand/or
seriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Cordless Chain saw safety warnings
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the chain saw is operating. Before
you start the chain saw, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chain saws may cause
entanglement of your clothing or body with the
saw chain.
2. Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the top handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a
reversedhandcongurationincreasestheriskof
personalinjuryandshouldneverbedone.
3.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
4. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protec-
tiveclothingwillreducepersonalinjurybyying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
5. Always keep proper footing.
6.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
for spring back.Whenthetensioninthewoodbresis
released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator
and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
7. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
8. Carry the chain saw by the front handle with
the chain saw switched off 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.

10 ENGLISH
9. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-
sioning and changing accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
10. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
11. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for pur-
poses not intended. For example: do not use
chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-
wood building materials. Use of the chain saw for
operations different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
12.
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.
►Fig.1
• Donotoverreachanddonotcutabove
shoulder height. This helps prevent unin-
tended tip contact and enables better control
of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
• Onlyusereplacementbarsandchainsspec-
iedbythemanufacturer.Incorrectreplace-
ment 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.
13. Before starting work, check that the chain
saw is in proper working order and that its
condition complies with the safety regulations.
Check in particular that:
• Thechainbrakeisworkingproperly;
• Therun-downbrakeisworkingproperly;
• Thebarandthesprocketcoveraretted
correctly;
• Thechainhasbeensharpenedandten-
sioned in accordance with the regulations.
14. Do not start the chain saw with the chain cover
being installed on it. Starting the chain saw with
the chain cover being installed on it may cause
the chain cover to thrown out forward resulting in
personalinjuryanddamagetoobjectsaroundthe
operator.
Additional Safety Warnings:
1.
When using the tool with battery adapter, be careful
not to trip over the cord during operation.
2. When using the tool with battery adapter, keep
the cord away from obstacles such as a work-
piece and branches during operation. The cord
caughtbyobstaclesmaycauseseriousinjury.

warnings
1. This chain saw is designed especially for tree care
and surgery. The chain saw is intended to be used by
properly trained persons only. Observe all instruc-
tions, procedures and recommendations from the
relevant professional organization. Otherwise fatal
accidents may occur. It is recommend that always
using a rising platform (cherry picker, lift) for saw-
ing in trees. Rappelling techniques are extremely
dangerous and require special training. The opera-
tors must be trained to become familiar with safety
equipment usage and climbing techniques. Always
use the appropriate belts, ropes and carabiners when
working in trees. Always use restraining equipment
for both the operator and the saw.
2. Perform cleaning and maintenance before storage
in accordance with the instruction manual.
3. Ensure safe positioning of the chain saw during car
transportation to avoid fuel or chain oil leakage,
damage to the tool and personal injury.
4. Regularly check the functionality of chain brake.
5. Do not ll the chain oil near re. Never smoke
when you ll the chain oil.

the condition before continuing work. Check the
controls and safety devices for malfunction. If there
is any damage or doubt, ask our authorized service
center for the inspection and repair.
8. Always activate the chain brake before starting
the chain saw.
9. Hold the saw rmly in place to avoid skating
(skid movement) or bouncing of the saw when
starting a cut.
10. At the end of the cut, be careful to keep your
balance due to the “drop”.
11. Take into account the direction and speed of
the wind. Avoid sawdust and chain oil mist.
Protective equipment
1. In order to avoid head, eye, hand or foot
injuries as well as to protect your hearing the
following protective equipment must be used
during operation of the chain saw:
—
The kind of clothing should be appropriate, i. e. it
shouldbetight-ttingbutnotbeahindrance.Do
notwearjewelryorclothingwhichcouldbecome
entangled with bushes or shrubs. If you have long
hair, always wear a hairnet!
— It is necessary to wear a protective helmet when-
ever working with the chain saw. The protective
helmet is to be checked in regular intervals for
damage and is to be replaced after 5 years at the
