8. To cut with the chainsaw, place the stop directly
on the wood to be cut. It is also recommended to
use the stopper claw to cut branches of large di-
ameter.
9. The stopper claw is rmly attached to the wood
before cutting with a running chainsaw. Lift the
end of the chain saw with the rear handle and
guide it with the bow handle. The claw serves
as a fulcrum. The transfer takes place by lightly
pressing the handle. The saw can thus be easily
withdrawn. Insert the claw and raise the rear han-
dle again.
Use only admitted chan saw and chain bar com-
bination (see chapter 15)!
The cutting equipment supplied is optimally matched
to this chain saw.
When pairing of components do not match, the cut-
ting attachment can be irreparably damaged after
only a short operating time and cause injury.
m NOTICE
The following information is mainly for the end user
or the infrequent user. This chainsaw has been de-
signed for occasional use by home owners, garden
owners and campers, for general work such as clear-
ing, cutting rewood etc. It is not intended for longer
work. During longer work, because of vibrations, there
is a risk of circulation problems in the user‘s hands
(white-nger-syndrome). White-nger-syndrome is a
vascular disease where the small blood vessels in n-
gers and toes contract seizure-like. The aected ar-
eas are no longer supplied with blood and therefore
look very pale. Frequent use of vibrating machines
can cause nerve damage in people whose circulation
is compromised (e.g. smokers, people with diabetes).
If you notice unusual impairment, immediately stop
the work and consult a doctor. Observe the following
notices in order to reduce risks:
• Keep your body, and particularly your hands, warm
in cold weather.
• Take regular breaks during which you should move
your hands to promote circulation.
• Ensure the lowest possible vibration of the ma-
chine by regularly maintaining it and keeping com-
ponents tight.
5.2 Personal safety
• Never use only one hand when using the saw! Oth-
erwise there is a risk that operating sta, helpers
or onlookers may get injured. A chainsaw has been
designed for use with both hands.
• Wear your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE),
consisting of: Cut-resistant shoes, cut-protection
trousers, hi-vis vest or jacket in signal colours, gloves
and a helmet with visor and hearing protection.
12. The overall maintenance of this chainsaw, apart
from the points specied in this manual and these
maintenance instructions, must be carried out by
an authorised customer service.
13. For transport and storage of the chainsaw, t the
blade cover to the chain bar.
14. Do not work with the chainsaw next to or in the
presence of ammable liquids or gases, neither
indoors nor outdoors. There is a risk of explosion
and/or re.
15. Do not ll with fuel, oil or lubricant when the
chainsaw is running.
16. Only cut suitable material: Only cut timber. Do not
use the chainsaw for work for which it is not suit-
able. Do not use the chainsaw for cutting plas-
tic, masonry or building materials which are not
made of wood, for example.
17. The power tool produces poisonous exhaust
fumes as soon as the motor starts. Never work in
closed or badly-ventilated rooms.
18. In order to locate signicant damage or faults, it is
necessary to inspect the machine before use and
in case you drop it.
19. If liquid is spilled when lling the oil or fuel tank,
the machine must be cleaned before use.
As a chainsaw user, you must follow several
points in order to carry out your sawing work
without accidents and injuries.
1. A basic understanding of kickback can reduce or
exclude the element of surprise. Sudden rash re-
actions can lead to accidents.
2. When the motor is running, hold on to the saw
tightly with both hands, with the right hand on the
handle at the back and the left hand on the han-
dle at the front. Thumbs and ngers must rm-
ly clasp the chainsaw‘s handles. A secure hold
helps you to absorb kickback and keep the saw
under control. Do not let go.
3. Ensure that the area where you are cutting is free
from obstacles. The tip of the chain bar must not
come in contact with tree trunks, branches and
similar when cutting with the saw.
4. Use a fast motor speed.
5. Do not lean too far forwards and do not cut above
your shoulder height.
6. Sharpen and maintain the chainsaw in accord-
ance with the manufacturer‘s instructions.
7. If the tool becomes jammed during cutting, it has
to be turned o immediately and freed carefully.
Afterwards, the machine has to be checked for
damage (e.g. bent chain bar) and a test run has
to be carried out.
