• Ensure that the cutter teeth are always
correctly sharpened! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended
filing guide. A chain which is damaged or
improperly maintained increases the risk
of accident.
• Maintain the correct depth-gauge height.
Worn depth gauges increase the risk of
kickback.
• Keep chain properly tensioned!
A loose chain derails more easily and
accelerates wear on guide bar, chain
and drive socket.
• Ensure that the automatic oiling system
works and that the cutting equipment is
properly maintained.
CHAIN CATCHER
The chain catcher is designed to catch a chain which breaks or jumps out of its groove.
This problem will generally be avoided, however, if the chain is tensioned properly (see
chapter on «Mounting guide bar and adjusting chain» page 9) and the chain and guide
bar properly maintained.
Ensure that the CHAIN CATCHER is undamaged.
RIGHT HAND GUARD
The right hand guard protects the right hand in the event that the chain breaks or
jumps out of its groove, as well as keeping twigs and branches from interfering with
your grip on the handle.
Ensure that the RIGHT HAND GUARD is undamaged.

Your chain saw features a slip clutch which protects it from overload.
The slip clutch may require cleaning after long periods of operation.
Contact your nearest service dealer in the event of malfunction.
ELECTRONIC OVERLOAD PROTECTION 2000W
