■ Guide the chainsaw such that no part of your body is
within the extended pivot range of the saw chain.
■ Only saw wood with the chainsaw.
■ Do not touch the ground with the saw chain running.
■ Clean the cutting area of foreign bodies such as sand,
stones, nails, etc. Foreign bodies damage the sawing
device and can result in dangerous kick-back as well as
being flung away.
■ When sawing sawn timber, use a secure support (if pos-
sible, a sawhorse). The wood must not be held with the
foot or another person.
■ Round wood or logs should be secured against turning
while they are being cut.
■ Never work without a claw stop, the chainsaw can pull
the operator forward. Use the claw stop for cutting tree
trunks or thick branches. Using the claw stop increases
work safety, reduces personal strain when working and
vibrations are reduced.
■ For felling or cross-cutting, the serrated strip (claw stop)
must be applied to the wood to be cut. The use of the
spike bar is also recommended when cutting through thick
branches.
■ Before every cross-cut, firmly position the serrated strip and
only then saw into the wood with the saw chain running.
The saw is then lifted up using the rear grip and guided us-
ing the front handle. The spike bar acts as a pivot point. Re-
positioning is done using light pressure on the front handle.
Pull the chainsaw back slightly to do this. Insert the spike
bar deeper and lift up again using the rear grip.
■ Take care when cutting splintery wood. Cut pieces of
wood can be carried away (risk of injury).
■ When cutting using the top of the bar, the chainsaw can
be pushed towards the operator if the saw chain binds up.
For this reason, if possible, cut using the bottom side of the
bar as the chainsaw will be pulled away from the body
towards the wood.
■ Tensioned wood must always be cut on the compressed
side first. Only then perform the separating cut using the
opposite side. This prevents the rail from jamming.
■ When working in the tree, the chainsaw may fall down.
People can be seriously injured and material damage can
occur. Secure the chainsaw using the suspension device.
■ Before the saw chain is guided into the cutting area, it can
slip away to the side or jump up.
m ATTENTION
Increased risk of kickback!
In order to maintain full control at the moment of cutting all
the way through, reduce the pressing force towards the end
of the cut, without loosening your firm grip of the handles of
the chainsaw. Ensure that the saw chain does not come into
contact with the ground. After completing the cut, wait for
the saw chain to stop before removing the chainsaw. Always
switch off the chainsaw's engine before moving from one tree
to the next tree.
m WARNING
In case of extended working periods, the operating person-
nel may suffer circulatory disturbances in their hands (vibra-
tion white finger) due to vibrations.
Raynaud's syndrome is a vascular disease that causes the
small blood vessels on the fingers and toes to cramp in spasms.
The affected areas are no longer supplied with sufficient blood
and therefore appear extremely pale. The frequent use of
vibrating devices can cause nerve damage in people whose
circulation is impaired (e.g. smokers, diabetics).
If you notice unusual adverse effects, stop working immedi-
ately and seek medical advice.
Observe the following information to reduce hazards:
• Keep your body and especially your hands warm in cold
weather.
• Take regular breaks and move your hands to promote
circulation.
• Ensure as little vibration as possible at the machine via
regular maintenance and stable parts on the device.

Residual risks
m DANGER
RISK OF INJURY !
Contact with the saw chain can lead to fatal cuts.
Never touch the saw chain with your hands while it is running.
RISK OF KICK-BACK !
Kick-back can lead to fatal cuts.
DANGER OF BURNING !
The chain and guide bar heat up during operation.
The electric tool has been built according to state-
of-the-art and the recognised technical safety
rules. However, individual residual risks can
arise during operation.
