STARTING AND STOPPING

CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended. This can damage the machine.

Note! Pull the front hand guard towards the front handle. The chain brake is now disengaged. Your saw is ready for use.

WARNING! Long term inhalation of the

!engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and dust from sawdust can represent a health risk.

•Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all covers are ﬁtted correctly. See instructions under the heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain attached to the chain saw the clutch can come loose and cause serious injury.

•The chain brake should be activated when starting. Se instructions under the heading Start and stop. Do not drop start. This method is very dangerous because you may lose control of the saw.

•Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can be dangerous if inhaled.

•Observe your surroundings and make sure that there is no risk of people or animals coming into contact with the cutting equipment.

•Always hold the saw with both hands. The right hand should be on the rear handle, and the left hand on the front handle. All people, whether right or left handed, should use this grip. Use a ﬁrm grip with thumbs and ﬁngers encircling the chain saw handles.

Stopping
