As a result of manipulated safety and
protective devices, serious injury can oc-
cur when working with the chain saw.
■
Never deactivate safety and protec-
tive devices.

2.4.1
Switch-on protection
If the operator applies the throttle quickly several
times in succession, the chain saw switches off
for a few seconds to protect the electronics and
the saw chain. In this case, wait until the chain
saw can be switched on again.
2.4.2
Chain brake/chain brake bracket
The chain saw has a manual chain brake that is
triggered by the chain brake bracket, for example
if kickback occurs. If the chain brake is tripped,
saw chain and motor are stopped immediately.
2.4.3
Overload protection
The chain saw is equipped with an overload pro-
tection which switches off in case of overload.
After a cooling-down phase, the chain saw can
be switched on again.
