6.7 Operating instructions
m Important notices
1. Turn off the motor if the saw comes in contact with foreign objects. Check the saw
and, if applicable, repair it.
2. Protect the chain from dirt and sand. Even small quantities of dirt can quickly make
the chain blunt and increase the risk of kickback.
3. Start by cutting up smaller logs to practise in order to get a feel for the device, before
attempting difficult tasks.
4. Activate the throttle at maximum, before starting sawing.
5. Press the casing of the chainsaw against the log when starting sawing.
6. Run the device at full throttle throughout the whole sawing process.
7. Let the saw do the work. Only use slight downwards pressure.
8. Release the throttle as soon as you have finished your work so the motor runs idle.
If you let the machine run at full throttle without load, there will be unnecessary
wear and tear.
9. So that you do not lose control of the device after the chain exits the wood, you should
not apply any pressure to the saw towards the end of the cut.
10. Check after starting the idle setting. The cutting blade must be stationary during
idling. When the cutter is idling, the idle speed must be reduced (see “Setting the
Idle Speed”).
11. Turn off the device before putting it down.
12. If the device becomes jammed whilst cutting, it must be turned off immediately and
carefully freed. Then the device should be checked for damage (e.g. bent guide bar)
and then a trial run should be carried out.
13. Before carrying out the final cut, check to ensure that there are no bystanders, ani-
mals or obstacles are in the area where debris may land.
14. Branches that are tensioned must be cut from underneath in an upwards motion in
order to ensure that the chainsaw does not become jammed.
15. In order to maintain full control at the moment of cutting all the way through, reduce
the pressing force towards the end of the cut, without loosening your firm grip of
the handles of the chainsaw. Ensure that the saw chain does not come into contact
with the ground.
Kickback
• When working with the chainsaw, you may encounter a hazardous kickback.
• This kickback arises if the top area of the guide bar accidentally comes into contact
with wood or another solid object.
• Before the chainsaw is guided into the cutting area, it can slip away to the side or jump
up. (ATTENTION!: Increased risk of kickback!)
• The chainsaw could be thrown or pushed towards the operator in an uncontrolled
manner and with high energy (risk of injury!).
