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 (î Checking the chain brake â p. 12).
With less strong rebounds, it can happen that the chain brake is not triggered automati- cally. 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!
Basic work technique
Before each use
1. Check the chain brake to ensure it is functioning correctly.
2. Check the rear hand guard for damage.
3. Check the switch-on safety lock and start button to ensure they are functioning cor- rectly.
4. Check whether all handles are free of oil.
5. Check whether all parts of the device are present, firmly attached and undamaged.
6. Check the chain catcher for damage.
7. Check the chain tensioning.
DANGER!
