• Make sure that you can stand firmly and safely in each work position. When work- ing on a sloping
subsurface, be espe- cially careful!
• Always hold the device firmly in both hands. Use your right hand to grip the rear handle, your left
hand to grip the other handle, even if you are left-handed. Do not let go of the handles!
• When the saw is running, keep all body parts away from the saw chain. Make sure before starting
the saw that the saw chain does not touch anything.
• Never saw above shoulder height! Do not lean forward or back!
• Always ensure that you are standing firmly and only use the chain saw when you are standing on
stable, firm and level ground. A slippery subsurface or instable standing area such as on a ladder
can cause you to lose your balance or lose control over the chain saw.
• Do not stretch your arms too far forwards.
• Never work on ladders, on trees or in other positions in which you cannot stand safely.
• Take care when walking backwards. Dan- ger of stumbling!
• Always saw at a high chain speed.
• Do not saw any wood which is under ten- sion.
• Do not work alone! Ensure that you have an aural, visual or other connection with another person
who is in a position to administer first aid in emergency situa- tions.
