practice should be completed sawing logs on a saw horse
or cradle.
We recommend that when carrying the chainsaw that you
u
remove the battery and make sure that the saw chain is
facing backwards.
Maintain your chainsaw when not in use. Do not store your
u
chainsaw for any length of time without first removing the
saw chain and guide bar which should be kept immersed
in oil. Store all parts of your chainsaw in a dry, secure
place out of reach of children.
We recommend you drain the oil reservoir prior to storage.
u
Be sure of your footing and pre-plan a safe exit from a
u
falling tree or branches.
Use wedges to help control felling and prevent binding the
u
guide bar and saw chain in the cut.
Saw chain care. Keep the saw chain sharp and snug on
u
the guide bar. Ensure the saw chain and guide bar are
clean and well oiled. Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
Kickback can be caused by:
Striking branches or other objects accidentally with a tip of
u
the saw while the saw chain is moving.
Striking metal, cement or any other hard material near the
u
wood, or buried in the wood.
A dull or loose chain.
u
Cutting above shoulder height.
u
Lack of attention when holding or guiding the chainsaw
u
while cutting.
Over-reaching. Keep proper footing and balance at all
u
times and do not overreach.
Do not try to insert into a previous cut. As this could cause
u
kickback. Make a fresh cut every time.
We strongly recommend you do not attempt to operate
u
your chainsaw while in a tree, on a ladder or on any other
unstable surface. If you decide to do so, be advised that
these positions are extremely dangerous.
When cutting a branch that is under tension, be alert for
u
spring back so that you will not be struck when the tension
is released.
Avoid cutting:
Prepared timber.
u
Into the ground.
u
Into wire fences, nails. etc.
u
Into small sized brush and saplings because slender
u
material may catch the saw chain and be whipped towards
you, or pull you off balance.
Do not use your chainsaw above shoulder height.
u
Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in case
u
of an accident.
If for any reason you have to touch the saw chain, make
u
sure your chainsaw is disconnected from the mains.

Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured
in accordance with a standard test method provided by
EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with
another. The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may
increase above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration
exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the
way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time.
