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.
5 5 Fuels / Refuelling - Stop the engine before refuelling the chain saw. - Do not smoke or work near open fi res (5). - Let the engine cool down before refuelling. - Fuels can contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and skin should not come in contact with mineral oil products.
6 Kickback - When working with the chain saw dangerous kickbacks may occur . - Kickback occurs when the upper part of the end of the guide bar inadvertently touches wood or other hard objects (10). - Before the saw chain enters the cut, it can slip to the side or jump (caution: high risk of kickback).
7 - Be careful when cutting splintery wood. Cut pieces of wood may be pulled along (risk of injuries). - When cutting with the upper edge of the guide bar , the chain saw may be pushed in the direction of the user if the chain gets clamped. For this reason use the lower edge of the bar whenever possible.
8 T ransport and storage - When changing your location during work switch off the chain saw and actuate the chain brake in order to prevent an inadvert- ent start of the chain.

The adhesive additive prevents the oil from being fl ung of f the chain too quickly.
14 Refuelling FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS! Be careful and cautious when handling fuels. The engine must be switched off! Thoroughly clean the area around the caps, to prevent dirt from getting into the fuel or oil tank. Unscrew the cap and fi ll the tank with fuel (fuel/oil mixture) or chain oil as the case may be.

16 Cold start: Prime the fuel pump ( 6 ) by pressing it several times until you can see fuel in the pump. Move the short-circuit switch ( 3 ) forward in the direction of the arrow . Turn the choke lever ( 5 ) up (see “Cold start” illustration). This simultaneously actuates the half-throttle lock.
17 Checking the chain brake Do not work with the chain saw without fi rst checking the chain brake! Start the engine as described (make sure you have a good footing, and place the chain saw on the ground in such a way that the guide bar is free of contact).
18 8 9 Adjusting the carburetor (only for not EU-countries) E Carburetor adjustment is necessary for optimum engine performance, for safer and more economical operation. The engine should be warm, the air fi lter clean, and the chain properly tensioned.
19 Proper sharpening: CAUTION: Use only chains and guide bars designed for this saw (see the Extract from the spare-parts list) ! All cutters must be of the same length (dimension a). Cutters with different lengths result in rough running of the chain and can cause cracks in the chain.
20 All cutters must be sharpened to the same angle, 30°. Different angles result in a roughly , irregularly running chain, increase wear and tear and cause chain beakage. The 85° front rake of the cutter results from the cut depth of the round fi le.

Regularly inspect the bearing surfaces of the guide bar for damage, and clean them with a suitable tool.
