GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
English – 9
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands
on the saw and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces
can be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height.
This helps prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected
situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
Before using a new chain saw
• Please read this manual carefully.
• Fully charge the battery before using it the first time.
See instructions under the heading Charging the
battery.
• Fill with chain oil. See instructions under the heading
Filling with chain oil.
• Do not use the chain saw until sufficient chain oil has
reached the chain. See instructions under the heading
Lubricating cutting equipment.
• Check that the cutting equipment is correctly fitted and
adjusted. See instructions under the heading
Assembly.
• Long-term exposure to noise can result in permanent
hearing impairment. So always use approved hearing
protection.

you consider to be beyond your capability. If you still feel
uncertain about operating procedures after reading these
instructions, you should consult an expert before
continuing. Do not hesitate to contact your dealer or us if
