Refuel and start the chain saw. See the instructions under the headings Fuel Handling and Starting and Stopping.

!

WARNING! Under no circumstances may

the design of the machine be modified

 

 

without the permission of the

 

manufacturer. Always use genuine

 

accessories. Non-authorized

 

modifications and/or accessories can

 

result in serious personal injury or the

 

death of the operator or others. Your

 

warranty may not cover damage or

 

liability caused by the use of non-

 

authorized accessories or replacement

 

parts.

!

WARNING! A chain saw is a dangerous

tool if used carelessly or incorrectly and

 

 

can cause serious, even fatal injuries. It

 

is very important that you read and

 

understand the contents of this

 

operator’s manual.

!

WARNING! The inside of the muffler

contain chemicals that may be

 

 

carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these

 

elements in the event of a damaged

 

muffler.

!

WARNING! Long term inhalation of the

engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist

 

 

and dust from sawdust can represent a

 

health risk.

!

WARNING! The ignition system of this

machine produces an electromagnetic

 

 

field during operation. This field may

 

under some circumstances interfere with

 

pacemakers. To reduce the risk of

 

serious or fatal injury, we recommend

 

persons with pacemakers to consult

 

their physician and the pacemaker

 

manufacturer before operating this

 

machine.

WARNING! Never allow children to use or

! be in the vicinity of the machine. As the machine is equipped with a spring- loaded stop switch and can be started by low speed and force on the starter handle, even small children under some circumstances can produce the force necessary to start the machine. This can mean a risk of serious personal injury. Therefore remove the spark plug cap when the machine is not under close supervision.

Important

IMPORTANT!

The machine is only designed for cutting wood.

You should only use the saw with the bar and chain combinations we recommend in the chapter Technical data.

CAUTION! Always wear protective glasses or a face visor to reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects. A chain saw is capable of throwing objects, such as wood chips, small pieces of wood, etc, at great force. This can result in serious injury, especially to the eyes.

WARNING! Running an engine in a

! confined or badly ventilated area can result in death due to asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning.
