Safety instructions for operation

WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• This top handle chainsaw is designed specifically for
tree surgery and maintenance in the tree. Due to the
special compact handle design (closely spaced
handles), there is an increased risk of losing control.
For this reason these special chainsaws should be
used only for work in a tree by persons who are
trained in special cutting and working techniques and
who are properly secured (lift bucket, ropes, safety
harness). Regular chainsaws (with wider spaced
handles) are recommended for all other cutting work
at ground level.
• Working in a tree requires the use of special cutting
and working techniques which must be observed in
order to reduce the increased risk of personal injury.
Never work in a tree unless you have received
specific, professional training for such work,
including training in the use of safety and other
climbing equipment, such as harnesses, ropes,
belts, climbing irons, snap hooks, carabiners,
etcetera.
• Never attempt to catch falling sections. Never cut in
the tree when you are only secured with one rope.
Always use two secured ropes.
• During critical felling operations, hearing protectors
should be lifted immediately when the sawing is
completed so that sounds and warning signals can
be heard.
• Before using this product you must understand the
effects of kickback and how to avoid them. Refer to
Kickback information on page 11 for instructions.
• Never use a product that is faulty. Carry out the
safety checks, maintenance and service instructions
described in this manual. Some maintenance and
service measures must be carried out by trained and
qualified specialists. Refer to
17 for instructions.
• Never use the product with visible damage to the
spark plug cap and ignition cable. A risk of sparking
arises, which can cause a fire.
