The withdrawal often happens when the chain is not running at full speed when in contact
with the wood.
- Avoid withdrawal: Be aware of the forces and situations that can lead to jamming of the
chain on the underside of the bar. Always start with running at full speed chain to cut.
Recoil
The recoil occurs when the chain on top of rail suddenly stuck because it is jammed or en-
counters a foreign object in the wood. The chain can jerkily hold the saw against the opera-
tor. Rebounds happen often if the top rail is used for cutting.
- Avoid recoil: Be aware of the forces and situations that can lead to jamming of the chain
on top of rail. Do not cut more than one branch at a time. Do not tilt the rail to the side
when you pull them out of a cutting gap, since the chain could get caught otherwise.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Risk of injury! Always wear protective gloves when working on or
around cutting tools.
Cleaning
Before performing any maintenance or cleaning work, always turn off the engine and pull
out the spark plug.
1. Do not spray the unit with water. It damages the engine.
2. Clean the unit with a cloth, hand brush, etc.
3. Use a moist piece of cloth to clean the plastic parts. Do not use any cleaning agents,
solvents, or sharp objects.
4. During the course of work, wet grass and weed wraps around the drive shaft below the
cutting guard for technical reasons. Remove this, otherwise the engine will overheat be-
cause of too much friction.
Regular checks
Keep in mind that following specifications relate to normal usage. Owing to circumstances
(longer periods of daily work, severe dust exposure, etc.), the specified intervals will become
correspondingly shorter.
Before start of work and after refueling:
- Check if cutting tools are seated securely, general view inspection, sharpen cutting blade
(also, if necessary).
- Weekly inspection: Lubrication of gear (also, if necessary).
- If necessary: Retighten accessible fastening screws and nuts.
