GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
English – 11
Keypad
Make sure the machine is switched on or off when the
activate/deactivate button (1) is pressed and held (>1
sec.). The green LED (2) is lit or turned off.
The warning indicator (3) flashes if the chain brake is
activated or if there is a risk of overload. The overload
protection temporarily deactivates the machine. When the
machine is restored to normal temperature it is again
ready for use. Solid light indicates need for service.
Automatic switch off functionality
The machine is equipped with an automatic shutdown
feature that deactivates the machine if not used. The
machine will deactivate after 2 minutes.
Chain brake and front hand guard
Your chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is
designed to stop the chain if you get a kickback. The chain
brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you can
prevent them.
Take care when using your saw and make sure the
kickback zone of the bar never touches any object.
• The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually
(by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia
release mechanism.
• The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is
pushed forwards.
• This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism
that stops the drive sprocket.
• The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate
the chain brake. Another important feature is that it
reduces the risk of your left hand hitting the chain if
you lose grip of the front handle.
• Use the chain brake as a ”parking brake” when
starting and when moving over short distances, to
reduce the risk of moving chain accidentally hitting
your leg or anyone or anything close by.
• To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard
backwards, towards the front handle.
• Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most
kickbacks are minor and do not always activate the
chain brake. If this happens you should hold the chain
saw firmly and not let go.
