• Never allow children to use or be in the vicinity of the
product. As the product is equipped with a spring-
loaded start/stop switch and can be started by low
speed and force on the starter handle, even small
children under some circumstances can produce the
force necessary to start the product. This can mean
a risk of serious personal injury. Therefore remove
the spark plug cap when the product is not under
close supervision.
• You must have a steady stance in order to have full
control over the chainsaw. Never work standing on a
ladder, in a tree or where you do not have a firm
ground to stand on.
• Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the
kickback zone of the bar accidentally touches a
branch, nearby tree or some other object.
• Never use a chainsaw by holding it with one hand. A
chainsaw is not safely controlled with one hand.
• Always hold the chainsaw with both hands. The right
hand should be on the rear handle, and the left hand
on the front handle. All people, whether right or left
handed, should use this grip. Use a firm grip with
thumbs and fingers encircling the chainsaw handles.
This grip minimizes the risk of kickback and lets you
keep the chainsaw under control. Do not let go of the
handles!

• Never use the chainsaw above shoulder height and
try not to cut with the tip of the bar.
• Do not use a chainsaw in a situation where you
cannot call for help in case of an accident.
• Before moving your chainsaw, switch off the engine
and lock the saw chain using the chain brake. Carry
the chainsaw with the bar and chain pointing
backwards. Fit a guard to the bar before transporting
the chain saw or carrying it for any distance.
• When you put the chainsaw on the ground, lock the
saw chain using the chain brake and ensure you
have a constant view of the product. Switch the
engine off before leaving your chainsaw for any
length of time.
• Sometimes chips get stuck in the clutch cover
causing the saw chain to jam. Always stop the
engine before cleaning.
• Running an engine in a confined or badly ventilated
area can result in death due to asphyxiation or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
• It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation
you can face when using a chainsaw. Always
exercise care and use your common sense. Avoid all
situations which you consider to be beyond your
capability. If you still feel uncertain about operating
procedures after reading these instructions, you
should consult an expert before continuing. Do not
hesitate to contact your dealer or us if you have any
questions about the use of the chainsaw. We will
willingly be of service and provide you with advice as
well as help you to use your chainsaw both efficiently
and safely. Attend a training course in chainsaw
usage if possible. Your dealer, forestry school or
your library can provide information about which
training materials and courses are available.
