chainsaw.
◼ With the exception of the measures listed
in these operating instructions, have all
maintenance work on the chainsaw car-
ried out by authorised and qualified
maintenance personnel.

bushes and undergrowth as thin branches
could get caught in the chain, throw you
off balance and cause injuries.
◼ Be aware of potential kickback when cut-
ting a branch under load.
◼ Always perform cleaning and maintenance
measures before placing in storage.
◼ Make sure that the chainsaw is always
switched off before performing assembly,
adjustment and maintenance measures.
◼ Note that maintenance carried out incor-
rectly, the use of spare parts that do not
conform to the standard or the removal of
or modification to safety devices and
guards could cause damage to the equip-
ment and very serious injuries.

proves the operator's stability when cut-
ting. It can be anchored in the wood and,
