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.

SLIP CLUTCH

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

The 2000W electric chain saw is provided with electronic overload protection.

•When the overload protection trips, the saw stops.

•Release the power trigger. Ensure that the chain is not stuck.

•Squeeze the power trigger.

CUTTING EQUIPMENT

ENGLISH

This section explains how correct maintenance and use of the right cutting equipment:

•Reduces kickback tendencies

•Reduces the frequency of chain derailing and breakage

•Achieves maximum cutting effect

•Increases the service life of the chain

The five basic rules

•Use only the recommended cutting equipment! See «Technical Specifications» on page 3.

• 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 sprocket.

• Ensure that the automatic oiling system works and that the cutting equipment is properly maintained.
