Important!
When using equipment, a few safety precautions
must be observed to avoid injuries and damage.
Please read the complete operating manual with due
care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the
information is available at all times. If you give the
equipment to any other person, give them these
operating instructions as well.
We accept no liability for damage or accidents which
arise due to non-observance of these instructions
and the safety information.
1. Safety information
Please refer to the booklet included in delivery for the
safety instructions.
CAUTION!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regulations
and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a
safe place for future use.

Safety features (fig.1)
2 LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN helps significantly
reduce kickback, or the intensity of kickback, due
to specially designed depth gauges and guard
links.
5 CHAIN BRAKE LEVER / HAND GUARD protects
the operator’s left hand in the event it slips off the
front handle while saw is running.
5 CHAIN BRAKE is a safety feature designed to
reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback by
stopping a moving saw chain in milliseconds. It is
activated by the CHAIN BRAKE lever.
10 STOP SWITCH immediately stops the engine
when tripped. Stop switch must be pushed to ON
position to start or restart engine.
11 SAFETY TRIGGER prevents accidental
acceleration of the engine. Throttle trigger (19)
cannot be squeezed unless the safety latch is
depressed.
20 CHAIN CATCHER reduces the danger of injury in
the event saw chain breaks or derails during
operation. The chain catcher is designed to
intercept a whipping chain.
Note: Study your saw and be familiar with its parts.
3. Proper use
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:
n Contact with the unguarded saw chain (injuries
through cutting)
n Reaching into the saw chain while it is running
(injuries through cutting)
n Unforeseen, sudden movement of the cutter rail
(injuries through cutting)
n Catapulting of parts of the saw chain
n Catapulting of parts of the material being cut
n Damage to hearing if the compulsory hearing
protection is not used
n Inhalation of particles from the material being cut,
emissions from the combustion engine
n Skin contact with petrol
