6. Use of chain saw

Note!

To prevent inaccurate use of the chain saw read the entire operating manual before you begin

using the chain saw for the ﬁrst time. All information concerning use of the chain saw is relevant

to your personal safety.

Let a professional user show you how to use the chain saw and protective equipment before you

begin using it yourself for the ﬁrst time! Start by cutting timber on a saw horse to aquaint yourself

with the chain before you take on more difﬁcult tasks.

Always follow the safety instructions. The chain saw is intended only for cutting wood material.

Never use the chain saw for cutting other material. Vibrations and kickback can occur when

cutting other material. Never use the chain saw to lift, move or split objects. Do not fasten it onto

a stationary stand or other object. It is completely forbidden to connect other accessories to the

drive shaft of the chain saw other than those which are speciﬁed from the manufacturer.

kickback. Check the chain brake before using every time. Let the engine run on high speed

1 to 2 seconds and manually activate the chain brake by pushing forward the front hand

guard in front of the arched handle. The saw chain should stop immediately even if the

engine is running on full speed. If the saw chain stops slowly or not at all the brake band or

brake drum must be changed or cleaned.

saw chain is sharp edged and correctly sharpened to avoid kickback. Deleted safety details,

wrongful maintenance or faulty assembling of guide bar and saw chain lead to increased risk

for accidents related to kickback.
