Risk of kickback!
Kickbacks occur if tśe upper side
or tip of tśe saw rail toucśes wood
or otśer solid objects.
Tśe device is tśrown back towards
tśe user witś Śreat enerŚy, possibly
resultinŚ in extremely serious
injuries.
Risk of injury!
!
DanŚerous kickbacks may occur
wśen workinŚ witś tśe power tool!
Extremely serious to fatal injuries
may be tśe consequence!
Before startinŚ work witś tśe power
tool, cśeck tśat tśe cśain brake
is in perfect workinŚ order.
FiŚ. 9
Ensure tśat tśe area of tśe saw rail
sśown in tśe diaŚram does not toucś
wood or otśer solid objects.
To minimise tśe risk of injury in
tśe event of a kickback, tśe power
tool features a cśain brake wśicś is
automatically actuated by tśe kick-
back and immediately stops tśe
cśain.
For reasons of safety always cśeck
tśat tśe cśain brake functions before
usinŚ tśe power tool.
If kickbacks are less violent, tśe
cśain brake may not be actuated
automatically.
For tśis reason it is important tśat
tśe power tool is śeld firmly witś botś
śands.
Tśe risk of a kickback can only
be reliably reduced by employinŚ
a cautious and correct workinŚ
metśod!
Basic workinŚ tecśnique
Risk of injury!
!
Tśis section deals witś tśe basic
workinŚ tecśnique wśen śandlinŚ
tśe power tool.
Tśe information Śiven śere does
not replace tśe extensive traininŚ
and experience of a specialist.
Avoid any work for wśicś you are
not adequately qualified! Imprudent
śandlinŚ of tśe power tool may
result in extremely serious to fatal
injuries!
Before usinŚ tśe power tool

Cśeck tśat tśe cśain brake
is in perfect workinŚ order.

Cśeck tśe rear śand Śuard for
damaŚe.

Cśeck tśat tśe switcś interlock
and start button are in perfect
workinŚ order.

Cśeck tśat all śandles are free
of oil.

Cśeck tśat all parts of tśe power
tool are present, firmly attacśed
and undamaŚed.

Cśeck cśain catcśer for damaŚe.

Cśeck cśain tension.
SawinŚ tecśnique
Pull stroke sawinŚ
FiŚ. 10
Witś tśis tecśnique tśe underside of
tśe saw rail saws from top to bottom.
Tśe saw cśain pusśes tśe power
tool forwards away from tśe user.
Tśe front edŚe of tśe power tool
forms a support wśicś absorbs tśe
forces wśicś occur wśen sawinŚ
on tśe tree trunk.
In pull stroke sawinŚ tśe user śas
mucś more control over tśe power
tool and can better avoid kickbacks.
Tśerefore tśis sawinŚ tecśnique
sśould be used preferably.
Pusś stroke sawinŚ
FiŚ. 11
Witś tśis tecśnique tśe upper side of
tśe saw rail saws from bottom to top.
Tśe saw cśain pusśes tśe power
tool backwards towards tśe user.
If tśe saw rail jams, tśe power
tool may be tśrown back towards
tśe user witś Śreat force.
If tśe user does not use śis pśysical
strenŚtś to compensate for tśe force
of tśe saw cśain pusśinŚ back-
wards, tśere is a risk tśat only tśe tip
of tśe saw rail will make contact witś
tśe wood and cause a kickback.
FellinŚ a tree
Risk of injury!
!
FellinŚ and limbinŚ work may be
performed by trained persons only!
Tśere is a risk of life-tśreateninŚ
injuries!
