GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•Fire Extinguisher and Shovel

Generally clothes should be close-fitting without restricting your freedom of movement.

IMPORTANT! Sparks can come from the bar and chain or other sources. Always have fire extinguishing tools available if you should need them. Help prevent forest fires.

Machine′s safety equipment

In this section the machine’s safety features and their function are explained. For inspection and maintenance see instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and servicing chain saw safety equipment. See instructions under the heading, What is what?, to find where these parts are located on your machine.

The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out professionally. If you need further information please contact your nearest service workshop.

!

WARNING! Never use a machine with

defective safety components. Safety

 

 

equipment must be inspected and

 

maintained. See instructions under the

 

heading Checking, maintaining and

 

servicing chain saw safety equipment. If

 

your machine does not pass all the

 

checks, take the saw to a servicing

 

dealer for repair.

Keypad

Make sure the machine is switched on or off when the activate/deactivate button (1) is pressed and held (>1 sec.). The green LED (2) is lit or turned off.

The warning indicator (3) flashes if the chain brake is activated or if there is a risk of overload. The overload protection temporarily deactivates the machine. When the machine is restored to normal temperature it is again ready for use. Solid light indicates need for service.

Automatic switch off functionality

The machine is equipped with an automatic shutdown feature that deactivates the machine if not used. The machine will deactivate after 1 minute.

Chain brake and front hand guard

Your chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is designed to stop the chain if you get a kickback.The chain brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you can prevent them.

Take care when using your saw and make sure the kickback zone of the bar never touches any object.

•The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually (by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia release mechanism.

•The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is pushed forwards.

B

A

•This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism that stops the drive sprocket.

•The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate the chain brake. Another important feature is that it reduces the risk of your left hand hitting the chain if you lose grip of the front handle.

•The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is started.
