Handling Safety
Safety Information

Important - Please read these instructions fully before operating or maintaining
The chain is designed exclusively for sawing wood. You may only fell trees if you have received
the appropriate training. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper
or incorrect usage.
Residual hazards
Even when the equipment is used properly, a certain residual hazard cannot be ruled out. The
following potential dangers may arise in connection with the equipment’s design and construction:
WARNING! Contact with the unguarded saw chain (injuries through cutting).
WARNING! Reaching into the saw chain while it is running (injuries through cutting).
WARNING! Unforeseen, sudden movement of the saw chain (injuries through cutting).
WARNING! Catapulting of parts of the saw chain.
WARNING! Catapulting of parts of the material being cut.
WARNING! Damage to hearing if the compulsory hearing protection is not used Inhalation of particles
from the material being cut, emissions from the combustion engine.
WARNING! Skin contact with petrol.
The machine is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case
of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries
of any kind caused as a result of this.
NOTE! Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or
industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade
or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.
WARNING! The following information is primarily for the end user or occasional user. The chainsaw
is designed for occasional use by home owners, garden owners and campers and is for general
work such as stumpgrubbing, cutting firewood, etc. It is not designed for lengthy use. If it is used for
a lengthy period, the vibrations it causes in the hands of the user may result in circulation problems
(white finger syndrome).The hand-arm vibration syndrome (vibration white finger) is a vascular disease
that involves seizure-like spasms of the fingers and toes. The affected areas are no longer sufficiently
supplied with blood and therefore appear extremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating equipment
may trigger nerve damage in people with an impaired circulation (for example smokers, diabetics).
CAUTION! Should you observe any unusual impairments, interrupt your work immediately and
consult a doctor.

Safety Information
Follow these instructions in order to reduce the dangers:
CAUTION! Keep your body and in particular your hands warm when working in the cold.
CAUTION! Take regular breaks and move your hands to stimulate the blood circulation during
the breaks.
CAUTION! Ensure that the equipment makes the least possible vibration through regular maintenance
and solid parts on the equipment.
Kickback is the term used to describe the reaction of the chainsaw when the nose or tip of the guide
bar comes into contact with an object. This form of contact causes a lightening fast reverse reaction
causing the nose or tip of the chainsaw to ‘kickback’ towards the operator. This presents a risk of
serious personal injury or even death. Although the chainsaw is fitted with the various safety features,
it is imperative that you stay alert at all times to prevent kickback occurring. You can do this by
observing the following simple rules:
• Ensurethechainsawisheldrmlywithbothhands.Therighthandshouldgriptherearhandleand
the left hand the front handle. Gripping the handles firmly will help you control the chainsaw more
effectively in the event of kickback.

Pinching is the term used to describe the reaction of the chainsaw when the BOTTOM or TOP of
the guide bar is pinched in the object being cut or sawn. This form of contact causes the chainsaw
to move rapidly towards or away from you. If the BOTTOM of the guide is pinched, the chainsaw will
be pulled away from you. If the TOP of the guide is pinched, the chainsaw will be pushed towards
you. This presents a risk of serious personal injury or even death. Although the chainsaw is fitted
with the various safety features, it is imperative that you stay alert at all times to prevent pinching
occurring.
To prevent pinching, always place the object to be cut against the claw stop at the rear of the guide
bar as shown in the figure below.
