• Be careful when reaching the
end of the cut. The weight of
the product may change unex-
pectedly as it cuts free from the
wood. This can cause accidents
to the legs and feet. Always
remove the product from a wood
cut while the product is running.
• When bucking on a slope always
stand on the uphill side of the
log. When „cutting through",
to maintain complete control
release the cutting pressure near
the end of the cut without relax-
ing your grip on the product han-
dles. Do not let the chain contact
the ground. After completing the
cut, wait for the saw chain to stop
before you move the product.
Always stop the engine before
moving from tree to tree.
WARNING
• Please consider that the exhaust
jet and the mu er is getting very
hot during working. Therefore it
is required to avoid catching re

and gras with hot sufaces.
Causes and avoidance of kickback,
bouncing and skating:
Do not operate the product with
one hand! This product is intend-
ed for two handed use only. Place
right hand on the rear handle and
left hand on the front handle. You
cannot control reactive forces and
you lose control of the product,
which may result in the skating
or bouncing of the bar and chain
along the limb or log.
Pinching the saw chain along the
bottom of the guide bar may pull
the product forward away from the
operator ("skating").
Pinching the saw chain along the
top of the guide bar may push the
guide bar rapidly back toward the
operator ("bouncing").
Kickback may occur if the tip of the
guide bar touches an object or if
the wood bends and the saw chain
gets stuck in the slit.
In some cases, contact with the
bar tip may result in an unexpect-
ed backwards reaction where the
guide bar is knocked upwards and
in the direction of the operator.
Jamming of the saw chain at the
top edge of the guide bar can force
the bar backwards in the direction
of the operator.
Any of these reactions can cause
you to lose control of the saw and
may result in serious injury. Do not
rely exclusively on the safety de-
vices installed in the chain saw. As
a chain saw user, you should take
various measures to ensure that
you can work without accidents or
injuries.
Kickback is the result of incorrect
or incorrect use of the tool. It can
be prevented by taking appro
