Switch on the chainsaw only when the guide bar, saw chain and sprocket cover are

Never operate this power tool without the guide bar guard. Risk of injury!
Switching on

SAWING TECHNIQUES
General information
Observe noise protection rules and other local regulations when working with the tool.
• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clips and wires must be removed from the tree.
• Always stand above the tree trunk when sawing on slopes.
• To keep total control while sawing through, reduce the pressure at the end of the cut
without loosening your grip on the handgrip of the chainsaw. Make sure the saw chain
does not touch the ground. After finishing the cut, wait until the chainsaw comes to a
stop before removing it.
• Always switch off the chainsaw before changing between tress.
• You will have better control over the tool if you saw using the lower edge of the guide
bar (chain in pulling direction).
• The saw chain must not touch the ground or any object while sawing through the
material or thereafter.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not get stuck while sawing. The log must not brake or
splinter.
• Please also observe the precautionary measure to protect against kickback (see the
safety information).
