This chain saw is designed especially for tree
care and surgery. The chain saw is intended
to be used by properly trained persons only.
Observe all instructions, procedures and rec-
ommendations from the relevant professional
organization. Otherwise fatal accidents may
occur. It is recommend that always using a rising
platform (cherry picker, lift) for sawing in trees.
Rappelling techniques are extremely dangerous
and require special training. The operators must
be trained to become familiar with safety equip-
ment usage and climbing techniques. Always
use the appropriate belts, ropes and carabiners
when working in trees. Always use restraining
equipment for both the operator and the saw.
2.
Perform cleaning and maintenance before stor-
age in accordance with the instruction manual.
3.
Ensure safe positioning of the chain saw during
car transportation to avoid fuel or chain oil
leakage, damage to the tool and personal injury.

function. If there is any damage or doubt, ask
our authorized service center for the inspec-
tion and repair.
8.
Always activate the chain brake before starting
the chain saw.

Hold the saw firmly in place to avoid skating
(skid movement) or bouncing of the saw when
starting a cut.
10. At the end of the cut, be careful to keep your
balance due to the "drop".

the wind. Avoid sawdust and chain oil mist.
Protective equipment
1.
In order to avoid head, eye, hand or foot
injuries as well as to protect your hearing the
following protective equipment must be used
during operation of the chain saw:
—
The kind of clothing should be appropriate, i. e.
it should be tight-fitting but not be a hindrance.
Do not wear jewelry or clothing which could
become entangled with bushes or shrubs. If you
have long hair, always wear a hairnet!
—
It is necessary to wear a protective helmet
whenever working with the chain saw. The
protective helmet is to be checked in regu-
lar intervals for damage and is to be replaced
after 5 years at the latest. Use only approved
protective helmets.
—
The face shield of the protective helmet (or
the goggles) protects against sawdust and
wood chips. During operation of the chain
saw always wear a goggle or a face shield to
prevent eye injuries.
—
Wear adequate noise protection equip-
ment (ear muffs, ear plugs, etc.)
The protective jacket consists of 22 layers
—
of nylon and protects the operator against
cuts. It is always to be worn when working
from elevated platforms (cherry pickers,
lifts), from platforms mounted on ladders or
when climbing with ropes.
—
The protective brace and bib overall is
made of a nylon fabric with 22 layers and
protects against cuts. We strongly recom-
mend its use.
—
Protective gloves made of thick leather are
part of the prescribed equipment and must
always be worn during operation of the chain
saw.
—
During operation of the chain saw safety
shoes or safety boots fitted with anti skid
sole, steel toe caps and protection for the
leg must always to be worn. Safety shoes
equipped with a protective layer provide
protection against cuts and ensure a secure
footing. For working in trees the safety boots
must be suitable for climbing techniques.
Vibration
1.
Individuals with poor circulation who are exposed
to excessive vibration may experience injury to
blood vessels or the nervous system. Vibration
may cause the following symptoms to occur in the
fingers, hands or wrists: "Falling asleep" (numb-
ness), tingling, pain, stabbing sensation, alteration
of skin colour or of the skin. If any of these symp-
toms occur, see a physician! To reduce the risk
of "white finger disease", keep your hands warm
during operation and well maintain the equipment
and accessories.
