Safety instructions - while sawing
Never work alone. Keep acoustic and visual contact to
other persons at all times to allow immediate first aid in
emergency cases.
Immediately stop the engine at imminent danger or in
emergency cases.
Never leave the saw running unattended.
This petrol chain saw produces harmful substances!
Never run the chain saw in closed or poorly ventilated
rooms. Provide for a sufficient change of air when working in
wells, trenches or confined spaces. There is the risk of
carbon monoxide poisoning or death by suffocation.
Immediately stop working when you feel unwell (e.g.
headache, dizziness, nausea, etc.). Otherwise there is an
increased risk of accidents.
When switching on the chain saw must be supported
and held safely. Chain and guide bar must stand free.
Start cutting only when the saw chain has reached the full
number of revolutions.
Do not overload the machine! You work better and safer in
the given performance range.
Do not use the chain saw for lifting or moving of wood.
Make breaks when sawing so that the engine can cool
down.
Do not place a hot chain saw in dry grass or onto inflam-
mable objects.
Never touch the silencer and the engine while the saw is
running or shortly after it was stopped. Danger of burning!
Never get in contact with the running saw with metallic
fences or the ground.
Make sure that the wood is free of foreign object (stones,
nails etc).
Make sure that the wood can not turn when sawing.
Saw splintered wood with care. There is risk of injury by
wood pieces carried away.
Avoid saw backstroke by a correct guiding of the saw.
Note: Safety instructions - saw backstroke
Use the claw stopper (31) for fixing the ch
the wood. Use the claw stopper when sawing as lever.
Do not use the chain saw for lifting or moving wood.
Let the chain saw work by producing a light leverage
pressure over the claw stopper. When sawing do not press
with strength.
When sawing
thicker perches or trunks set back the claw
stopper (31) on a deeper point. For setting back release the
claw stopper from the wood and place it again in a deeper
position. Do not remove the saw here out of the cut.
Be careful at the end of a sawing cut. As far as the saw
leaves the wood the force of weight changes. There is risk
of accident for legs and feet.
Remove the chain saw only with running saw chain out of
the cut.
If the s
aw chain gets jammed in the wood, stop it
immediately. Use a wedge to free the guide bar.
Vibrations
If persons who have blood circulation problems are too
often exposed to vibrations damages to the nervous system or
to blood vessels may occur.

- by thick and warm working gloves,
- shorter working time (have longer breaks).

How to avoid saw backstroke?
Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands.
For better control saw w

horizontal position when contacting wood.
Never saw with the guide bar tip.
Sawing with the upper guide bar edge may cause a
saw backstroke if the saw gets jammed or hits a hard object
in the wood.
Start cutting only with running saw chain.
Only work with sharp and correctly sharpened saw chain.
Only work wit
