6.6 Before start-up
m WARNING
Always carry out checks before use and with the engine switched o.
Check the device before each use and after it has fallen to the ground to ensure that it is in
safe operating condition.
Check that all moving parts are working properly. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools. Have damaged parts repaired by qualied specialist personnel.
Only use the chainsaw and accessories in accordance with these instructions. taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Using power tools for oper-
ations other than those intended can lead to hazardous situations.
■ Regularly check the chain brake for proper functioning (front hand guard, see g. D).
■ Check the guide bar to make sure it is mounted correctly.
■ Check that the saw chain is properly tensioned. Follow the instructions for lubrication,
chain tensioning and replacing accessories. An improperly tensioned or lubricated chain
can break or increase the risk of kick-back.
■ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Sharpen regularly and replace worn parts in good
time. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
■ Check that the throttle and the throttle interlock move easily. The throttle lever must
spring back to the starting position.
■ Check that there is enough fuel and chain lubricating oil in the tank.
■ Check that the handles are clean, dry and free from oil and dirt.
■ Never carry out the work alone. In an emergency, someone must be nearby.
■ Only use the chainsaw when standing on rm, safe and level ground. Do not overreach.
Slippery ground or unstable standing surfaces (e.g. on a ladder) can cause loss of balance
or loss of control of the chainsaw. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This will
allow you to better control the chainsaw in unexpected situations.
■ Do not work with the chainsaw in a tree. There is a risk of injury when operating in a tree.
■ Never saw above shoulder height.
■ Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle (see g. D). Holding the chainsaw using the opposite grip increases the
risk of injuries and must be avoided.
■ Keep all body parts away from the saw chain when the chainsaw is running. Before start-
ing the chainsaw, ensure that the saw chain is not touching anything. When working with
a chainsaw, a moment of carelessness can result in clothing or body parts being caught
by the saw chain.
