4. General safety instructions
Noise emission information in accordance with the German Product Safety Act (ProdSG) and the EC Machine
Directive: the noise pressure level at the place of work
can exceed 80 dB(A). In such cases the operator will
require noise protection (e.g. wearing of ear protectors).
Attention: Noise protection! Please observe the local
regulations when operating your device.
5. General safety information for power tools
Warning! Read all safety-related information
and safety instructions! Failure to observe the
safety information and instructions may result in
electric shock, burns and/or severe injury.
Keep the safety information and instructions for
future reference.
The term ‘power tool’ as used in the safety information
and instructions includes both mains-operated tools
(with power cord) and battery-operated tools (without
power cord).
1) Safety at the workplace
a) Keep your working area clean, tidy and well-lit.
Disorder and poorly lit working areas may result in
accidents.
b) Do not operate the power tool in potentially
explosive environments containing combustible uids, gases or dusts. Power tools generate
sparks that may ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away while
you are operating the power tool. Distractions
may result in the operator loosing control over the
tool.
2) Electrical safety
a) The mains plug of the power tool must t into
the mains socket. The plug must not be modied in any way. Do not use adapter plugs/connectors in combination with tools with protective earthing. Unmodied plugs and tting sockets
reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces as
pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain or moisture in
general. The penetration of water into a power tool
increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the cord to carry or hang up the
tool or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges
or moving parts of the tool. Damaged or tangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use ex-
clusively extension cords that are approved for
outdoor-use. The use of an extension cord that is
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If the operation of a power tool in a moist envi-
ronment cannot be avoided it is highly recommended to use a residual current device (RCD).
The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Always pay attention to what you do and apply
reasonable care when working with a power
tool. Do not use the power tool when you are
tired or under the inuence of medication,
drugs or alcohol. When working with power tools,
even a short moment of inattentiveness may result
in severe injury.
b) Wear personal protection equipment and al-
ways wear eye protection (safety goggles).
Wearing personal protection equipment as a dust
mask, nonslip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear
protectors (depending on the type and application
of the tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation. Make sure that
the power tool is switched off before you connect it to the mains supply and/or the battery
and whenever you pick up or carry the tool.
When carrying the tool with your nger on the on/
off switch or connecting the tool to the mains supply
with the switch in ‘ON’ position, this may result in
accidents.
d) Remove adjustment tools or wrenches and
the like before you switch the power tool on. A
wrench or other tool that is inside or on a rotating
part of the tool may cause injury.
e) Avoid unusual postures. Make sure to have a
safe footing and keep your balance at all times.
This will allow you to better control the power tool
in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear wide cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and
gloves clear of all moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewellery or long hair may get caught in moving
parts.
g) If dust extraction/collection devices are pro-
vided make sure that they are connected and
used properly. The use of a dust extraction device
may reduce risks caused by dust.
4) Use and handling of the power tool
a) Do not overtax the power tool. Use the power
tool intended for your type of work in each
case. The use of the suitable power tool within the
stated range of performance makes working more
effective and safer.
b) Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch.
A power tool that cannot be switched on or off any
more is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug and/or remove the battery
before adjusting a tool, changing accessories
or putting the tool aside. This precaution avoids
the unintentional start of the tool.
d) Store power tools that are currently not used
out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons to use the tool if they are not familiar with
the tool or these instructions. Power tools are
dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
GB-4
GB | Operating Instruction
e) Thoroughly maintain your power tool. Check
whether moving parts are working properly and
are not jamming/sticking, and whether parts are
broken or otherwise damaged in a way that may
affect the function of the power tool. Have damaged parts repaired before using the tool. Many
accidents are the result of poorly maintained power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Thoroughly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are jamming less often and are easier to guide.
g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on tools,
etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the way prescribed for the respective type
of tool. You should also consider the working
conditions and the work to be carried out. The
use of power tools for purposes other than those
intended for the respective tool may result in dangerous situations.
5) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by qualied tech-
nical personnel only; repairs should be carried
out using exclusively original spare parts. This
will ensure the continued safe operation of the
power tool.
6) Emissions
- The specied vibration emission value was meas-
ured by a standardized test methods and can
compare with other power tools are used.
- The specied vibration emission value can also be
necessary for the assessment of work breaks are
used.
- The specied vibration emission value can vary
during the actual use of the electric tool by specifying the value, depending on the way how to use the
power tool.
- Note: You create the privilege against vascular
pulsations of the hands in time breaks
7) Safety instructions for chain saws:
• Keep all parts of your body clear of the chain
while the saw is running. Before starting the saw,
make sure that the chain does not touch any objects. When working with a chain saw, even a short
moment of inattentiveness may result in clothes or
parts of the body being caught by the chain.
• Always hold the chain saw with your right hand
at the rear handle and your left hand at the front
handle. Holding the chain saw differently (left hand
– rear handle / right hand – front handle) during
operation will increase the risk of injury and is not
permitted.
• Hold the electric equipment by its insulated
handle surfaces, as the chainsaw can come into
contact with its own mains power cable. If the
chainsaw comes into contact with a live cable, it can
energise metal parts of the equipment and cause an
electric shock.
• Wear eye and hearing protection. Other personal
protection equipment for the head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Proper protective cloth-
ing and protection equipment reduce the risk of injury
caused by thrown-about wood chips and accidental
contact with the chain.
• Do not operate the chain saw on trees. Operating
a chain saw while situated on a tree involves a high
risk of injury.
• Make sure to have a safe stand at any time, and
only use the chain saw when standing on solid,
safe and level ground. A slippery ground or instable
surfaces as the steps of a ladder may lead to loosing
balance or the control over the chain saw.
• When cutting a branch that is under tension take
into account that it will spring back. When the
tension of the wood bres is released the tensioned
branch may hit the operator and/or the chain saw
resulting in a loss of control.
• Apply particular caution when cutting brush and
young trees. The thin material may get caught in the
chain and hit you or throw you off balance.
• Carry the switched-off chain saw using the front
handle with the chain pointing away from your
body. Always put on the protection cover when
transporting or storing the chain saw. The careful
handling of the chain saw reduces the risk of accidentally touching the sharp cutting chain.
• Follow the instructions for lubrication, chain
tension and changing accessories. An improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
considerably increase the risk of a kickback.
• Keep the handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Fatty, oily handles are slippery and may lead
to a loss of control.
• Use the chain saw for cutting wood only! Do not
use the chain saw for works it is not designed for.
– Example: Do not use the chain saw for cutting
plastics, brickwork or other construction materials that are not made of wood. The use of the chain
saw for applications, for which it is not designed, may
result in dangerous situations.
8) Causes of kickbacks and how to avoid them:
A kickback can occur if the tip of the guide bar touches
an object or the wood to be cut pinches the bar inside
the cut.
In some cases, touching an object with the tip of the bar
may lead to an unexpected, sudden backward movement, in the course of which the guide bar is ‘kicked’
upwards and in the direction of the operator.
The pinching of the chain at the upper edge of the guide
bar may ercely throw the bar back in the direction of
the operator.
In both cases, you may loose the control over the saw
and get seriously hurt. Do not exclusively rely on the
chain saw’s built-in safety features. As a user of a chain
saw you should take several precautions to continuously
work without having accidents or suffering injuries.
A kickback is the result of a wrong or improper use of
the power tool. It may be avoided by taking the following
proper precautions:
• Hold the saw with both hands with the thumbs
and ngers rmly embracing the handles of the
GB | Operating Instruction
GB-5
chain saw. Position your body and arms such
that you can withstand the power of a kickback.
When proper precautions are taken the operator will
be able to control the power of a kickback. Never let
go of the chain saw!
• Avoid unusual postures and do not cut above
shoulder height. This avoids accidentally touching
objects with the tip of the bar and allows for a better
control of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
• Only use the replacement bars and chains prescribed by the manufacturer. The use of wrong
replacement bars and chains may lead to chain
breaks or kickbacks.
• Adhere to the manufacturer’s instructions to
sharpen and maintain the chain. Depth limiters
that are too low increase the risk of a kickback.
• Set the loop so that it is not detected during
operation of branches or the like.

must be free.
15. Withdraw the plug immediately if the power cable is
damaged or cut.
16. The chainsaw may only be connected to socket
outlets with earthing contact and tested electrical
installations. We recommend the use of a residualcurrent-operated circuit-breaker. The fuse must have
a value of 16 A and mustn’t be used by other consumers while working with the chainsaw.
17. The cable must be winded off completely when you
use a cable drum.
18. Ensure that the power cable has no kinks and is not
damaged.
19. The chainsaw may only be used in a completely
assembled state. No protective devices may be
missing.
20. Switch the chainsaw off immediately if you notice any
changes in the machine.
21. Always have a rst-aid kit fullling DIN 13164 at hand
in case of accidents.
22. If the chainsaw comes into contact with earth, stones,
nails or other foreign objects, withdraw the plug immediately and check the chain as well as the bar.
23. Ensure that no chain oil penetrates into the earth or
sewage. Always place the chainsaw on something
that will absorb any oil dripping from the bar or chain.
24. Avoid to use the chainsaw in poor weather conditions, especially if there is a risk of a thunderstorm.
C) Warning to the danger of recoil (“kickback”)
25. If possible, use a stand.
26. Always keep an eye on the bar tip.
27. Only place a running saw on the object to be cut.
Never start the machine while the chain rests on
something.
28. So called piercing cuts with the bar tip may only be
carried out by trained personnel.
D) Instructions on safe working techniques
29. Working on ladders, scaffoldings or trees is forbidden.
30. Ensure that the wood cannot twist while it is being cut.
31. Watch out for splintering wood. While you are sawing
you may be injured by ying wood chips.
32. Do not use the chainsaw to lever or move the wood.
33. Only cut with the lower section of the saw. The saw
will be repulsed towards you if you try and cut with
the upper section of the saw.
34. Ensure that the wood is free of stones, nails or other
foreign objects.
35. We recommend that rst-time users are instructed
practically as to the correct use of the chainsaw and the
required personal safety equipment by an experienced
operator; the cutting of round wood or logs should be
trained on a log stand or similar rack-type device rst.
36. Keep the running chainsaw from touching the ground
or wire fences.
