• Tip contact in some cases may cause
a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the
guide bar up and back towards the op-
erator (cf. image 1/fig. A).
• 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 ac-
cident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or condi-
tions 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.
Do not overreach and do not cut
•
above shoulder height. This helps
prevent unintended tip contact and ena-
bles better control of the chain saw in
unexpected situations.
Only use replacement bars and
•
chains specified 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
12
the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.

Further safety directions

• If the supply cord of this power tool is
damaged, it must be replaced by a spe-
cially prepared cord available through
the service organization.
• If it is necessary to replace the connec-
tion cable, we recommend that this be
performed by the manufacturer or an
authorised representative (e.g. authorised
workshop, customer service, etc.).
• Lay the extension cable in such a way
that it will not be caught by branches
or similar during sawing.
• Use a surge protector with a release cur-
rent of 30 mA or less.
• Comply carefully with maintenance,
control and service instructions in
this manual. Damaged protective de-
vices and parts have to be repared or
changed except as noted otherwise in
this manual.

Operation startup

Always wear protective
gloves when working with
the chainsaw and employ
only original parts. Pull out
the power plug before doing
any work on the chainsaw
itself -– injury hazard!
The tool is completely assembled on deliv-
ery.Before you start up the electric chain-
saw, adjust the chain, fill up with chain oil
and check the automatic lubrication and
chain brake function.
Note that the saw can re-oil.
