WORKING TECHNIQUE
DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury due to inade-
quate technical knowledge!
Inadequate technical knowledge can re-
sult in extremely serious up to fatal inju-
ry!
■
Only trained and experienced peo-
ple are allowed to fell trees and lop
branches.
DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury from uncontrol-
lable movements of the machine
The moving saw chain develops enor-
mous forces that could lead to the sud-
den uncontrollable swerving and throw-
ing out of the chain saw.
■
Always hold the chain saw with both
hands, the left hand on the front
handle and the right hand on the
rear handle. Regardless of whether
you are left- or right-handed.
DANGER!

CAUTION!
Danger to health from inhaling haz-
ardous substances!
The inhalation of lubricating oil steam,
exhaust gases and sawdust can lead to
health impairments.
■
Always use the prescribed personal
protective equipment.
CAUTION!
There is a risk of injury when the
chainsaw is blocked
If you try to pull out a cutting apparatus
when the cutting apparatus – i.e. the
saw chain and guide rail – is blocked
while the engine is running, there is a
risk of injury and risk of damaging the
device.
■
Switch off the engine and pry open
the cut (with a wedge, for example),
or make a relief cut using a second
chain saw or cutting apparatus. Re-
move the jammed cutting apparatus
as soon as the cut opens up.
■
Follow the instructions and proce-
dures stated in the following sec-
tions to avoid blocking or jamming of
the chainsaw.
NOTE
Courses in the use of chain saws and
techniques for felling trees are regularly
held by various forestry organisations.
