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.
