Before use

RISK OF INJURY!
► Always switch the tool off and remove the bat-
tery before carrying out any work on the tool.
WARNING!
► Always carry out checks before use and with
the tool switched off.
► Check that the tool is in good working order
before every use and after it has been
dropped.
► Check whether moving parts work properly.
Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained tools.
Have any damage repaired by qualified
specialists.
► Use the chainsaw and accessories only as
described in these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work
to be performed.
Using machine tools for purposes different
from those intended could result in a hazard-
ous situation.
■ Check the chain brake is in good working order
regularly (front hand guard, see fold-out page,
fig. B).
■ Check that the guide rail is correctly fitted.
■ Check that the saw chain is correctly tensioned.
Follow the instructions for lubrication, chain
tension and changing accessories. An incorrectly
tensioned or lubricated chain can break or
increase the risk of kickback.
■ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Sharpen
them regularly and replace worn parts prompt-
ly. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.

■ Check the throttle control and the throttle control
lock for freedom of movement. The throttle con-
trol must spring back into the start position.
■ Check whether the handles are clean, dry and
free of oil and dirt.
■ Never carry out the work alone. In case of
emergency, someone should be close by.
■ Use the chainsaw only if you are standing on
firm, safe and even ground.
Do not overreach.
Slippery ground or unstable standing surfaces
(e.g. on a step ladder) can lead to a loss of
balance or loss of control of the chainsaw.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the chainsaw in
unexpected situations.
■ Do not use the chainsaw in a tree. When working
in a tree there is a risk of injury.
■ Never saw above shoulder height.
■ Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the
front handle (see fold-out, page fig. C). Holding
the chainsaw in an inverted working posture
increases the risk of injuries and is prohibited.
■ When the chainsaw is running, keep all body
parts away from the saw chain. Before starting
the chainsaw, make sure that the saw chain is
not touching anything. When working with a
chainsaw, a moment of inattentiveness can lead
to clothing or body parts getting caught in the
saw chain.
■ Switch the chainsaw off immediately if you no-
tice any changes in the way the tool behaves.
■ If the chainsaw hits a stone, nails or other hard
objects, stop the motor immediately and check
the saw chain and the guide rail for damage.
