WARNING:
Prior to starting work, check the mains connection
cable and extension cable for damage. Only use
mains connection cables and extension cables in
perfect condition.
WARNING:
The electrical system to which the chainsaw is
connected should be equipped with a differential
current safety switch (with a max. of 30mA
release current)
The chainsaw is intentionally short to prevent it from
coming into contact with the running sawing chain when
working with the machine.
It is advisable to fit the strain relief belt between the
chainsaw plug and the coupler socket of the extension
cable required for work with the machine this prevents the
plug from accidentally slipping out of the extension cable
coupler socket.
BEFORE OPERATION
In order to prevent kickback, please follow these
safety instructions:
Never start cutting with the tip of the chain bar! Always
■
keep a close eye on the tip of the chain bar!
Never cut with the tip of the chain bar! Be careful
■
when continuing cuts you are already working on!
Always start cuts with the chainsaw already running.
■
Make sure that the saw chain is always properly
■
sharpened.
Never cut through more than one branch at a time!
■
When lopping off branches, be careful not to tough
any other branches.
a) When cross-cutting, pay attention to trunks
standing very close to each other. If possible use a
sawing trestle.
Transporting the chainsaw
Before transporting the chainsaw, always remove the plug
from the power socket and slide the chain cover over the
bar and chain. If several cuts are to be performed with the
chainsaw, the saw must be switched off between cuts.
Chain guard (Fig. 2)
The chain cover must be clipped onto the chain and bar
as soon as the sawing work has been completed and
whenever the machine has to be transported.

OPERATION
WARNING:
Wear eye, ear and body clothing protection
while using your saw. Ensure the oil tank is
full before use.
Releasing the chain brake
■
To be able to use the chain saw again, the saw chain
must be unlocked, firstly switch off the saw release
the on/off switch completely and then pull the chain
brake back towards the back of the chain saw until
it locks into place the chain will now move when it is
switched on.
Holding the chain saw (Fig. 8)
■
Always grip both handles with the thumbs and fingers
encircling the handles. Ensure that your left hand is
holding the handle so that thumb is underneath.
Using the chain saw
■
Always be sure of your footing and hold the chainsaw
firmly with both hands while the motor is running.
Felling a tree (Fig. 9)
■
When bucking and felling operations are being
performed by two or more persons at the same time,
the felling operation should be separated from the
bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the
height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be
felled in a manner that would endanger any person,
strike any utility line or cause any property damage.
If the tree does make contact with any utility line, the
utility company should be notified immediately.
The chainsaw operator should keep on the uphill
side of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide
downhill after it is felled an escape path
An escape path should be planned and cleared as
necessary before cuts are started. The escape path
should extend back and diagonally to the rear of
expected line of fall as illustrated in Fig. 9.
Before felling is started, consider the natural lean of
the tree, the location of larger branches and the wind
direction to judge which may the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, stapes and
wire from the tree.
