„Chain saw safety warnings"
• Primary users
Persons working for the first time with the chain saw must
obtain a practical instruction on the use of the chain saw and
the operator protection equipment by an experienced
operating person. Primary users shall first of all practice
cutting of round timber on a sawhorse or a rack.
• Minors are not allowed to work with the chain saw.
• This device is not intended to be used by persons (including
children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental abilities
or a lack of experience and/or know-how unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety or they
have been instructed by such a person on the use of the
device.

„Causes and operator prevention of kickback"
Kickback
Carry out lateral cuts, diagonal cuts and longitudinal cuts
with increased attention because here the claw stopper is not
put on.
How to avoid saw backstroke?
Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands.
For better control saw with the lower edge of the guide
bar. Hold the chain saw as close as possible to the
horizontal position when contacting wood.
Never saw with the guide bar tip.
Sawing with the upper guide bar edge may cause a
saw backstroke if the saw gets jammed or hits a hard object
in the wood.
Start cutting only with running saw chain.
Only work with correctly sharpened and clamped saw chain.
Use claw stopper (16) as lever.
Never work above height of shoulders.
Never cut through several perches at the same time. When
releasing make sure that no other perch is touched.
If possible use a sawhorse when cutting to length.
Stab cuts shall only be carried out by instructed personal.

The indicated vibration emission level has been measured
according to a standardised test method and can be used to
compare power tools.
It can also be used for an initial estimate of the vibration exposure.
The actual vibration emission level during the use of the
machine may differ from that indicated in the operating instructions
or indicated by the manufacturer.
This may be caused by the following factors to be minded before
and during the use:
− Proper use of the machine
− Correct cutting or machining of material
− Proper condition of the machine for use
− Use of the correct and sharp cutting tool
− Handles and optional anti-vibration handles properly
mounted on the machine body
When you feel uncomfortable or notice discoloration of skin on
your hands during the use of the machine, stop working
immediately. Observe sufficient break times to rest. Failure to
have sufficient break times may result in a hand-arm vibration
syndrome.
The extent of exposure depending on the type of work or machine
use should be estimated and appropriate breaks taken. In this
way, the extent of exposure can be considerably reduced over the
entire work time. Minimise the risk caused by vibrations. Maintain
this machine according to the instructions in the manual. If you
intend to use this machine frequently, contact your local
authorised dealer and purchase anti-vibration accessories if
required. Avoid the use of this machine at temperatures under
10°C. Create a work schedule in order to minimise vibration
exposure.
