INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE CHAIN SAW USE“.
Carry the saw using front handle, turned off and in safe distance from your body. Do not
touch the switch. Whenever you carry or store the saw, always put the guide cover on.
Plug chain saw to the socket equipped with a current protector.
Double protective insulation! Your electrical chain saw features double protective
insulation for increased protection against electric shock injury. The double protective
insulation comprises two separate electric insulation layers or one double-thick insulation
layer between operator and machine conductive cable. Double protective insulation
machines can be plugged to an ordinary 220-240 VAC socket. Follow the same safety
measures similarly as with other electrical devices. Double protective insulation provides
increased protection only against faulty insulation.
Tighten the chain so firmly that it can be easily moved manually.
Cut only wood. Do not use saw for other than intended purpose. Do not use saw for cutting
metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. Do not use guide for moving away
branches, roots or other items.
At work keep stable posture and make sure that you can move safely in the work area. Pay
increased attention when moving over roots, stones, branches, holes, etc. Pay special
attention to work at slopes. Work in such a way that a trunk is at your right-hand side and is
located between yourself and the guide. Always hold the saw with both hands and as close
to your body as possible for easy control. Whenever possible let the trunk bear the weight of
chain saw. When moving forward keep the trunk between yourself and the guide.
At cutting do not push saw very much. Too large pressure on saw at completing trunk cutting
can cause the loss of balance.
Before cutting adjust and firmly fix shorter wood pieces.
Pay extraordinary attention to cutting thin branches and trunks as the fragile material can be
caught with chain, hurled against the operator, and thus it can cause balance loss or possibly
serious injury.
We recommend to cut only such trunks the diameter of which corresponds to guide length
so that it is possible to make cutting with just one cut. (See„Technical data“ where you can
find recommended guide lengths for your chain saw model).
Before chain saw repair or maintenance always unplug it from socket.
Your chain saw complies with all respective safety standards. Repairs can be made by just
professional personnel using strictly original parts.
Before use check carefully damaged saw parts in order to prevent any possible defects and
secure safe operation. Check whether all movable saw parts are well put on and adjusted.
Except for the maintenance works described in this operating manual all damaged parts and
switch can be replaced in an authorized service facility. In case the switch does not work
properly, do not use the saw.
Store the saw at a safe and dry place, out of children reach, unplugged from mains, and
protective cover put on the guide.
