• Do not work with the high pruning
saw when you are tired or after the
consumption of alcohol or medication.
Always take a break in good time.
• Always wear suitable working clothes
during working, which allow freedom
of movement. Included with this are
a safety helmet, ear muffs, protective
goggles or face protection, gloves with
cut-protection, safety shoes with cut-
protection and solid soles and protective
trousers with saw protection.
• The high pruning saw is designed for
two-handed operation. Never work with
one hand or above shoulder height.
• Basically the mains cable is dragged
behind the operator. The cable must
always lead away from the high pruning
saw towards the rear.
• Keep your working area tidy. Only start
work if your working area is free from
obstruction and you have planned a
safe path of escape when felling timber.
• Ensure no people or animals are locat-
ed near the field of action. Pay particular
attention to children.
• Ensure you have a secure stance during
sawing. Do not work on a ladder, in the
tree or on unstable locations. Be very
cautious carrying out work on a slope.
• Never start the high pruning saw before
the chain bar, saw chain and sprocket
chain wheel covering are correctly as-
sembled.
• Ensure, before the switch-on, that the
chainsaw is not in contact with any
objects. Switch off the chainsaw before
you relocate it.
• Do not work in the rain, bad weather or
in a moist environment. Work only with
good lighting.
• Ensure that the grips are dry and clean
during work.
• Work only within the indicated range of
performance. Do not employ any low-
powered devices for difficult work. Do
not use tools for purposes for which they
are not intended.
• Do not work with an high pruning
saw which is damaged, incomplete or
changed without approval of the manu-
facturer. Never use the high pruning
saw with defective protective equip-
ment. Do not use any tools where the
switch cannot be turned on and off.
Check the safety status of the high
pruning saw, in particular the chain bar,
chain brake and the chain, before use.
• Damaged protection fittings and parts
must be properly repaired or replaced
at our Service-Center (see P. 69 for the
address), unless otherwise stated in the
manual.
• Pull out the power plug in case of non-
use of the device, before maintenance,
cleaning or replacement of accessories.
Ensure the chainsaw is switched off
when you stick the plug into the plug
socket.
• All maintenance operations, which are
not indicated in these directions, may be
carried out only by the customer service
for chainsaws.
• Use only those accessories which are
recommended in these directions.
• Place the claw stop securely with every
cut and do not begin with the sawing
before this.
• Be extremely careful during sawing
small bushes and branches. The thin
branch thicket can snag in the saw and
whip in your direction or make you un-
balanced.
• Carefully follow the maintenance, con-
trol and service instructions in this oper-
ating manual.
• Avoid sawing thin wood and trimmed
