Heed obstacles in the work area.
While you are working, always hold the device fast with both hands!
Hold the device:
• with the left hand on the handle
• with the right hand on the handle
• balanced in a secure position.
Here’s how to saw correctly!
– Search the work area and remove objects which are in your way.
– When you begin work, check the safety of the device (►Check before starting!– p.108).
– Starting the motor (►Starting the motor– p.109).
– Take the device in both hands as instructed (►Correct posture– p.110).
– Push the throttle through carefully. Always saw with sufficient speed!
Risk of rebound!
Rebounds occur if the upper edge or tip of the saw rail touch wood or other hard objects. The
device is thrown with high energy back and forth, which can cause extremely severe injuries.
Avoid letting the area of the saw rail depicted on the right touch
wood or other hard objects.
In order to reduce the risk of injury in case of a rebound, the device
is equipped with a chain brake which is triggered automatically on
impact and which stops the saw chain immediately.
For safety reasons, the functionality of the chain brake must be
checked each time the device is used (►Checking the chain
brake– p.121).
With less strong rebounds, it can happen that the chain brake is not triggered automatically.
For this reason it is important that the device be held fast with both hands.
Only a careful and correct working method can reduce the risk of a rebound reliably!
