Safety instructions for operation WARNING: Read the warning instructions that follow before you use the product. • This top handle chainsaw is designed specifically for tree surgery and maintenance in the tree. Due to the special compact handle design (closely spaced handles), there is an increased risk of losing control. For this reason these special chainsaws should be used only for work in a tree by persons who are trained in special cutting and working techniques and who are properly secured (lift bucket, ropes, safety harness). Regular chainsaws (with wider spaced handles) are recommended for all other cutting work at ground level. • Working in a tree requires the use of special cutting and working techniques which must be observed in order to reduce the increased risk of personal injury. Never work in a tree unless you have received specific, professional training for such work, including training in the use of safety and other climbing equipment, such as harnesses, ropes, belts, climbing irons, snap hooks, carabiners, etcetera. • Never attempt to catch falling sections. Never cut in the tree when you are only secured with one rope. Always use two secured ropes. • During critical felling operations, hearing protectors should be lifted immediately when the sawing is completed so that sounds and warning signals can be heard. • Before using this product you must understand the effects of kickback and how to avoid them. Refer to Kickback information on page 14 for instructions. • Never use a product that is faulty. Carry out the safety checks, maintenance and service instructions described in this manual. Some maintenance and service measures must be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. Refer to Maintenance on page 19 for instructions. • Never use the product with visible damage to the spark plug cap and ignition cable. A risk of sparking arises, which can cause a fire. • Never use the product if you are fatigued, while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, medication or anything that could affect your vision, alertness, coordination or judgement. • Do not use the product in bad weather such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etcetera. Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etcetera. • Faulty cutting equipment or the wrong combination of guide bar and saw chain increases the risk of kickback! Only use the guide bar and saw chain combinations we recommend, and follow the filing instructions. Refer to Accessories on page 32 for instructions. • Never start a product unless the guide bar, saw chain and all covers are fitted correctly. Refer to Assembly on page 11 for instructions. Without a guide bar and saw chain attached to the product the clutch can come loose and cause serious injury. • Never start the product indoors. Exhaust fumes can be dangerous if inhaled. 6 1792 - 005 - 02.11.2022
