This power chain saw may be used only for sawing wood out of doors.

It is intended for the followung uses depending on its class:

- Professional and mid-class: Use on small, medium and large

trees: felling, limb removal, cutting to length, thinning.

- Hobbyklasse: Occasional use on small trees, fruit-tree care, felling,

limb removal, cutting to length.

Unauthorised users:

Persons who are not familiar with the Instruction Manual, children,

young people, and persons under the inﬂ uence of drugs, alcohol or

medication must not use this saw.

General precautions

- To ensure correct operation the user has to read this instruc-

tion manual to make himself familiar with the charac teristics of the

chain saw. Users insufﬁ ciently informed will endanger themselves

as well as others due to improper handling.

- Lend this chain saw only to persons with training and experience

in the use of tree-surgery saws. Always hand over the instruction

manual.

- Children and young persons aged under 18 years must not be al-

lowed to operate the chain saw. Persons over the age of 16 years

may, however, use the chain saw for the purpose of being trained

as long as they are under the supervision of a qualiﬁ ed trainer.

- Use chain saws always with the utmost care and attention.

- Operate the chain saw only if you are in good physical condition. If

you are tired, your attention will be reduced. Be especially careful

at the end of a working day. Perform all work calmly and carefully.

The user has to accept liability for others.

- Never work under the inﬂ uence of alcohol, drugs or medication.

- A ﬁ re extinguisher must be available in the immediate vicinity when

working in easily inﬂ ammable vegetation or when it has not rained

for a long time (danger of ﬁ re).

Protective equipment

- 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-

ﬁ tting but not be a hindrance. Do not wear jewellery 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 (1) is to be checked

in regular intervals for damage and is to be replaced after 5 years

at the latest. Use only approved protective helmets.

- The face shield (2) 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 equipment (ear muffs (3), ear

plugs, etc.). Octave brand analysis upon request.

- The protective jacket (4) 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 (5) is made of a nylon fabric

with 22 layers and protects against cuts. We strongly recommend

its use.

- Protective gloves (6) made of thick leather are part of the pre-

scribed equipment and must always be worn during operation of

the chain saw.

- During operation of the chain saw safety shoes or safety boots

(7) ﬁ tted 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.

CAUTION:

This chain saw is designed especially for tree care and

surgery. All work with this chain saw is to be carried out

by properly trained persons only. Observe all literature,

procedures and recommendations from the relevant

professional organisation. Failure to do so constitutes a

high accident risk! We recommend always using a rising

platform (cherry picker, lift) for sawing in trees. Rappelling

techniques are extremely dangerous and require special

training! The operator must be trained in and familiar with

the use of safety equipment and working 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!
