GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using a new chain saw

•Please read this manual carefully.

•Check that the cutting equipment is correctly fitted and adjusted. See instructions under the heading Assembly.

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

•Do not use the chain saw until sufficient chain oil has reached the chain. See instructions under the heading Cutting equipment.

•Long-term exposure to noise can result in permanent hearing impairment. So always use approved hearing protection.

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.

Never use the machine if you are fatigued, while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, medication or anything that could affect your vision, alertness, coordination or judgement.

Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions under the heading Personal protective equipment.

Do not modify this product or use it if it appears to have been modified by others.

Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry out the checks, maintenance and service instructions described in this manual. Some maintenance and service measures must be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. See instructions under the heading Maintenance.

Never use any accessories other than those recommended in this manual. See instructions under the headings Cutting equipment and 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.

WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or ! the wrong combination of bar and saw

chain increases the risk of kickback! Only use the bar/saw chain combinations we recommend, and follow the filing instructions. See instructions under the heading Technical data.
