Intended use
The tool is intended for cutting lumbers and logs.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from
sockets without earth wire.
For public low-voltage distribution systems of
between 220 V and 250 V.
Switching operations of electric apparatus cause voltage
fluctuations. The operation of this device under
unfavorable mains conditions can have adverse effects to
the operation of other equipment. With a mains
impedance equal or less than 0.29 Ohms it can be
presumed that there will be no negative effects. The
mains socket used for this device must be protected with
a fuse or protective circuit breaker having slow tripping
characteristics.
Do not dispose of electric equipment
together with household waste material!
In observance of the European Directive,
on Waste Electric and Electronic
Equipment and its implementation in
accordance with national law, electric
equipment that have reached the end of
their life must be collected separately and
returned to an environmentally
compatible recycling facility.

General Power Tool Safety
Warnings GEA010-1
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
Chain saw safety warnings
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain when the chain saw is operating. Before you
start the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is
not contacting anything. A moment of inattention
while operating chain saws may cause entanglement
of your clothing or body with the saw chain.
2. Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on
the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand
configuration increases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Saw chains contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
4. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
Further protective equipment for head, hands,
GEB037-8
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective
clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or
accidental contact with the saw chain.
5. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a
chain saw while up in a tree may result in personal
injury.
6. Always keep proper footing and operate the chain
saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as
ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the
chain saw.
7. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres
is released the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
8. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
9. Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the
chain saw switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the chain saw
always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of
the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss
of control.
12. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use chain saw
for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building
materials. Use of the chain saw for operations
different than intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
13. Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide
bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back
towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar
may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the
operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw which could result in serious
personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you
should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs
free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
– Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator,
if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the
chain saw. (Fig. 1)
