ENGLISH
• Only use replacement bars and
chains specied by the manufac-
turer. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage and/
or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharp-
ening and maintenance instruc-
tions for the saw chain. Decreasing
the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
14.
Before starting work, check that the chain
saw is in proper working order and that
its condition complies with the safety
regulations. Check in particular that:
• The chain brake is working properly;
• The run-down brake is working
properly;
• The bar and the sprocket cover are
tted correctly;
• The chain has been sharpened and
tensioned in accordance with the
regulations.
15. Do not start the chain saw with the
chain cover being installed on it. Starting
the chain saw with the chain cover being
installed on it may cause the chain cover
to thrown out forward resulting in personal
injury and damage to objects around the
operator.

warnings
1. Perform cleaning and maintenance
before storage in accordance with the
instruction manual.
2. Ensure safe positioning of the chain saw
during car transportation to avoid fuel or
chain oil leakage, damage to the tool and
personal injury.
3. Regularly check the functionality of
chain brake.
4. Do not ll the chain oil near re. Never
smoke when you ll the chain oil.
5. National regulation may restrict the use
of the chain saw.
6.
If the equipment gets heavy impact or
fall, check the condition before continu-
ing work. Check the controls and safety
devices for malfunction. If there is any
damage or doubt, ask our authorized ser-
vice center for the inspection and repair.
7. Always activate the chain brake before
starting the chain saw.
8. Hold the saw rmly in place to avoid
skating (skid movement) or bouncing of
the saw when starting a cut.
9. At the end of the cut, be careful to keep
your balance due to the “drop”.
10. Take into account the direction and
speed of the wind. Avoid sawdust and
chain oil mist.
Protective equipment
1. In order to avoid head, eye, hand or foot
injuries as well as to protect your hear-
ing the following protective equipment
must be used during operation of the
chain saw:
— The kind of clothing should be appro-
priate, i. e. it should be tight-tting
but not be a hindrance. Do not wear
jewelry or clothing which could become
entangled with bushes or shrubs. If you
have long hair, always wear a hairnet!
— It is necessary to wear a protective
helmet whenever working with the
chain saw. The protective helmet is
to be checked in regular intervals for
damage and is to be replaced after 5
years at the latest. Use only approved
protective helmets.
— The face shield of the protective hel-
met (or the goggles) protects against
sawdust and wood chips. During oper-
ation of the chain saw always wear a
goggle or a face shield to prevent eye
injuries.
— Wear adequate noise protection
equipment (ear muffs, ear plugs, etc.)
— The protective jacket consists of 22
layers of nylon and protects the opera-
tor against cuts. It is always to be worn
when working from elevated platforms
(cherry pickers, lifts), from platforms
mounted on ladders or when climbing
with ropes.
— The protective brace and bib overall
is made of a nylon fabric with 22 layers
and protects against cuts. We strongly
recommend its use.
— Protective gloves made of thick
leather are part of the prescribed
equipment and must always be worn
during operation of the chain saw.
— During operation of the chain saw
safety shoes or safety boots tted
with anti skid sole, steel toe caps and
protection for the leg must always to
be worn. Safety shoes equipped with
a protective layer provide protection
against cuts and ensure a secure
footing. For working in trees the safety
boots must be suitable for climbing
techniques.
