it to the lifeline. Cordon off the work area
in order to reduce the risk of injuries and
damage to bystanders or property (e. g.
motor vehicles) from falling branches.
Position the chain saw in such a way
that your body is clear of the cutting
attachment whenever the engine is
running. Stand to the left of cut while
bucking.
Check condition of harness, belts and
ropes at regular frequent intervals.
Always pull the saw out of the cut with
the chain running.
After finishing a cut, activate the chain
brake to lock the chain or shut down the
engine before moving the saw to
another position in the tree.
Never put pressure on the saw when
reaching the end of a cut. The pressure
may cause the bar and rotating chain to
pop out of the cut or kerf, go out of
control and strike the operator or some
other object. If the rotating chain strikes
some other object, a reactive force may
cause the moving chain to strike the
operator.
Working Conditions
Operate and start your power tool only
outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
Operate it under good visibility and
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of falls, keep rotating
saw chain well clear of harness and life-
lines to avoid them being severed. It is
essential to use a double lifeline.

Warning!
Your chain saw is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when start-
ing. They should stand well clear of the
branches being cut. Stop the engine
immediately if you are approached.
Warning!
Even though bystanders should be kept
away from the running saw, never work
alone. Keep within calling distance of
others in case help is needed.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury to bystand-
ers and damage to property, never let
your power tool run unattended. When it
is not in use (e. g. during a work break),
shut it off and make sure that unauthor-
ized persons do not use it.
Warning!
As soon as the engine is
running, this product
generates toxic exhaust
fumes containing chemi-
cals, such as unburned
hydrocarbons (including
benzene) and carbon monoxide, that
are known to cause respiratory prob-
lems, cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Some of the gases
(e. g. carbon monoxide) may be color-
less and odorless. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury/illness from inhal-
ing toxic fumes, never run the machine
indoors or in poorly ventilated locations.
If exhaust fumes become concentrated
due to insufficient ventilation, clear
obstructions from work area to permit
proper ventilation before proceeding
and/or take frequent breaks to allow
fumes to dissipate before they become
concentrated.
Warning!
Operate your chain saw so that it pro-
duces a minimum of noise and
emissions – do not run engine unneces-
sarily and accelerate the engine only for
cutting.
