as the rear handle are equipped with electric heating 
coils. These are supplied with electricity from a built-in 
generator on the chain saw.

switched on. When the switch is pushed upwards, the 
heat is switched off.

respectively the machine MUST be restored to its 
normal set-up. Otherwise there is a risk of overheating, 
which can cause severe engine damage.
