SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General precautions
- To ensure correct operation the user has to read this instruction manual to make himself familiar with the characteristics
of the electric chain saw. Users insufÞ ciently informed will risk
danger to themselves as well as others due to improper handling.
- It is recommended only to lend the electric chain saw to people
who have proven to be experienced with electric chain saws.
Always hand over the instruction manual.
- First users should ask the dealer for basic instructions to become
familiarized with the characteristics of engine powered sawing.
- Familiarize yourself with the use of an electric chain saw by
cutting off lengths from a log on a sawhorse.
- Children and young persons aged under 18 years must not be
allowed to operate the electric chain saw. Persons over the age
of 16 years may, however, use the chain saw for the purpose
of being trained while under supervision of a qualiÞ ed trainer.
- Use electric chain saws always with the utmost care and attention.
- Operate the electric chain saw only if you are in good physical
condition. Perform all work calm and carefully. The user has to
accept liability for others.
- Never use the electric chain saw after the consumption of alcohol
or drugs or medication.
Personal protective equipment
- In order to avoid head, eye, hand or foot injuries as well as
to protect your hearing the following protective equipment
must be used during operation of the electric chain saw.
- The kind of clothing should be appropriate, i. e. it should be tightÞ tting but not be a hindrance. Do not wear jewellery or clothing
which could become entangled with bushes or shrubs.
- The protective helmet (1) 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.If you have long hair wear a
hairnet.
- The face shield (2) of the protective helmet (or the goggles)
protect against sawdust and wood chips. During operation of
the electric chain saw always wear a goggle or a face shield to
prevent eye injuries.
- Wear adequate noise protection equipment (ear muffs (3),
ear plugs, etc.). Octave brand analysis upon request.
-
The protective brace and bib overall (4) is made of a nylon
structure with 22 layers and protects against cuts. We strongly
recommend its use. In any case wear a long pair of trousers made
of solid material during operation of the electric chain saw.

- Pay attention to the diameter of the extension cable. When using
a cable roll the cable should be completely wound off. Use only
extension cords that meet the speciÞ cations in “Technical data”.
If using the saw out of doors make sure that the extension cord is
approved for such use.
- Before starting work the electric chain saw must be checked
for perfect function and operating safety according to the
prescriptions.
Check especially the function of the chain brake, the correct mounting
of the guide bar, the correct sharpening and tightening of the saw
chain, the Þ rm mounting of the sprocket guard, the easy motion of the
power switch, the function of the locking button, the good mechanical
condition of cable and plug and the cleanliness and dryness of the
handles.
- Put the electric chain saw only into operation if it is completely assembled. Never use the electric chain saw when it is not completely
assembled.
- Remove the adjusting tool before switching the saw on.
- All protective installations and guard supplied with the chain saw
during operation.
- Make sure that there are no children or other persons within the
working range. Also pay attention to any animals in the working
vicinity (6).
- Before switching on the electric chain saw ensure that you have a
safe footing.
- When switching on the electric chain saw always hold it with
both hands. Take the back handle with the right hand and the
tubular handle with the left hand. Hold the handles tightly with your
thumbs facing your Þ ngers. The bar and chain must indicate away
from your body (7).
- Switch on the saw only in the manner described in this manual. Do
not overload your saw. It will work better and more safely if you use
it within its intended performance range.
- Switch off the electric chain saw immediately if you observe a change
in its operating behavior.
CAUTION: When releasing the power switch the chain keeps
on running for a short period of time (free-wheeling).
- Protect the power cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
- Route the power cord in such a way that in cannot get caught in
branches or other objects during sawing.- If the cable is being
damaged or cut, pull out the power supply plug immediately.
- If the sawing device is hit by stones, nails or other hard objects, pull out
the power supply plug and check the sawing device immediately
- Pull out the power supply plug before checking the chain tension,
tightening the chain, replacing it or clearing malfunctions.
- When stopping work or leaving the electric chain saw switch off the
chain saw and pull out the power supply plug. Put the electric chain
saw in a safe location to prevent danger to others.
- For reÞ lling the oil tank the power supply plug must be pulled out.
Do not smoke or light open Þ res.
- Avoid skin or eye contact with mineral oil products. Always wear
gloves when reÞ lling the oil tank.
- Take care that no chain oil oozes into the soil (environmental protection). Use an appropriate base.
- If oil has been spilt, clean the electric chain saw immediately.
Working behavior/method of working
- Do not work on your own. There must be someone around in case
of an emergency (within shouting distance).
- During sawing operation always hold the electric chain saw with
both hands. Thus you will be able to guide it safely.
- Only use the electric chain saw during good light and visibility periods. Be aware of slippery or wet areas, and of ice and snow (risk
of slipping). The risk of slipping is extremely high when working on
recently peeled wood (bark).
- Never work on unstable surfaces. Make sure that there are no
obstacles in the working area, risk of stumbling. Always ensure that
you have a safe footing.
- Never saw above your shoulder height.
- Never saw while standing on a ladder.
- Never climb up into trees to perform sawing with the electric chain
saw.

- Guide the electric chain saw in such a way that no part of your
body is within the elongated swiveling range of the saw (11).
- Use the electric chain saw for sawing wood only.
- Do not let the chain touch the ground when it is running. If you
are cutting wood lying directly on the ground, turn it over before
completing the cut so that you do not cut into the ground.
- Clear the area of the cut of foreign objects such as sand, stones,
nails, wire etc. Such objects can damage the blade and cause
dangerous kickback.
- When sawing precut timber or thin woods use a safe support
(sawing jack,12). When sawing precut timber or thin pieces use
a stable support (sawhorse, 12). Do not saw stacked timber!
Do not let another person steady the timber, and do not steady
it with your foot!
- Secure round timber.
- When working on slopes, always work facing the slope.
- For performing crosscuts the toothed ledge (12,Z) must be
applied to the timber to be cut.
- Before performing a crosscut Þ rmly apply the toothed ledge to
the timber, only then can the timber be cut with the chain running. For this the electric chain saw is lifted at the back handle
and guided with the tubular handle. The toothed ledge serves
as a center of rotation. Continue by slightly pressing down the
tubular handle and simultaneously pulling backwards the electric
chain saw. Apply the toothed ledge a little bit deeper and once
again lift the back handle.
- The sawing device must be running whenever you remove the
electric chain saw from the timber.
- When performing several cuts the electric chain saw must be
switched off in between.
- When the timber must be pierced for cutting or longitudinal
cuts are to be performed it is urgently recommended to
have these works carried out by specially trained persons
only (high risk of kickbacks).
- For performing longitudinal cuts (13) apply the sawing device
at an angle which is as small as possible. Be very careful when
carrying out this kind of work because the toothed ledge cannot
be used.
- When cutting with the bottom edge of the bar the electric chain
saw may be pushed in the direction of the user if the chain is
clamped. For this reason use the top edge of the bar whenever
possible. The electric chain saw will then be pushed away from
your body (14).
- If the timber is not free of tension (15), Þ rst cut the pressure
side (A). Then the crosscut can be performed on the tension
side (B). Thus clamping of the bar is avoided.
- Be very careful when cutting splintery wood. Cut pieces of wood
may be pulled along (risk of injuries).
- Never use the electric chain saw for lifting up or removing pieces
of wood or other objects.
- When releasing the tension the electric chain saw should be
supported on the trunk (risk of kickbacks).
- Tension releasing works must be carried out by trained
persons. High risk of injuries.
- Be aware of branches under tension. Do not cut free branches
from below.
- Never perform tension releasing works standing on the trunk.
- Do not use the electric chain saw for works in the forest, i.
e. for cutting down trees or carrying out tension releasing
works. The user's mobility and safety necessary for this
kind of work are not guaranteed due to the cable connection.

CAUTION:
Do not fell or debranch trees unless you are specially
trained for it! There is a high risk of injury! Make sure to
follow local regulations.
- Before cutting down a tree ensure that
a) only those persons are within the working range which are
actually involved in cutting down the tree
b) all persons involved in the felling have an unhindered retreat
route (the retreat path should be about 45° diagonally and
to the rear away from the direction of fall). Be aware of the
increased risk of stumbling from electric cables!
c) the bottom part of the trunk is free from foreign bodies, un-
derbrush and branches. Make sure to have a safe footing
(risk of stumbling).
d) the next working place is at least 2 1/2 tree lengths away
(16). Before cutting down the tree check the direction of fall
and make sure that there are neither other persons nor any
objects within a distance of 2 1/2 tree lengths (16).
- Judging the tree:
Direction of hanging - loose or dry branches - height of the tree
- natural hang over - is the tree rotten?
- Take into account the direction and the velocity of the wind.
If strong gusts are occuring, do not perform any cutting down
works.
- Cutting the roots:
Start with the strongest root. First perform the vertical and then
the horizontal cut.
- Notching the trunk (A, 17):
The notch determines the direction of fall and guides the tree.
The trunk is notched perpendicular to the direction of fall and
penetrates 1/3 -1/5 of the trunk diameter. Perform the cut near
the ground.
- When correcting the cut always do so over the whole width of
the notch.
- Cut down the tree (B, 18) above the bottom edge of the notch
(D). The cut must be exactly horizontal. The distance between
both cuts must be approx. 1/10 of the trunk diameter.
- The material between both cuts (C) serves as a hinge. Never
cut it through, otherwise the tree will fall without any control.
Insert felling wedges in the cut (B, 18) in good time.
- Secure the cut only with wedges made of plastic or aluminium.
Do not use iron wedges.
- When cutting down a tree always stay sideways of the falling
tree.
- When withdrawing after having performed the cut down be
aware of falling branches.
- When working on a sloping ground the user of the electric chain
saw must stay above or sidewards of the trunk to be cut or the
already cut down tree.
- Be aware of trunks which may roll towards you.
Kickback
- When working with the electric chain saw dangerous kickbacks
may occur.
- Kickback occurs when the tip of the blade(especially the top
quarter) inadvertently comes into contact with wood or other
solid objects.
- In this case the electric chain saw is thrown without any control
and with high energy potentials in the direction of the user (risk
of injuries).
In order to prevent kickbacks follow the indicated instruc-
tions:
- Never apply the end of the bar when starting to make a cut.
Always observe the end of the bar.
- Never use the bar end for sawing. Be careful when continuing
to cut.
- When starting to perform a cut the chain must be running.
- Ensure that the chain is always sharpened correctly. Pay special
attention to the hight of the depth limiter (for detailed information
see the chap. "Sharpening the saw chain").
- Never cut several branches at the same time. When cutting a
branch ensure that no other branch is touched.
- When crosscutting a trunk be aware of the trunks next to it. It
is recommended to use a saw jack.

- When transporting the electric chain saw over long distances
the power supply plug must be pulled out and the bar protection cover, included in the delivery, must be applied (20).
- Ensure safe positioning of the electric chain saw during car
transportation to avoid oil leakage.
- Store the saw in a secure, dry, lockable room out of reach
of children. It must not be stored outdoors.
- For storing the electric chain saw over a long period of time
or shipping it the oil tank must be completely emptied.
- Only use approved and marked containers for transporting
and storing chain oil.
Maintenance
- For performing maintenance works switch of the electric
chain saw, pull out the power supply plug and secure
it (21).
- Before starting to work, always make sure that the saw is in
safe working order, in particular the chain brake and run-out
brake. Make sure that the saw chain is always sharpened
and tightened correctly (22).
- Have the chain brake and run-out brake inspected regularly
(see “Chain brake, run-out brake”).
- Regularly check the cable to the power supply for damage
of the covering.
- Regularly clean the electric chain saw.
- If the plastic case is damaged, have it immediately repaired
by a skilled person.
- Regularly check the tank cap for tightness.
- Do not use the saw if the ON/OFF switch is defective. Have
it repaired by a qualiÞ ed person.
