STARTING

WARNING!

NEVER start the chain saw without activating the chain brake first!

•Never try to refuel the saw while it is running. Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling.

•Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or mixing fuel (2-stroke mixture).

•Move the saw at least 3 m from the refuelling point before starting it.

•Never start the chainsaw:

a)If you have spilt fuel or chain oil on the saw. Wipe off the spill and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.

b)If you spill fuel or chain oil on yourself or your clothes. Change your clothes.

c)If there is a fuel leak. Check regularly for leaks from the FUEL CAP and FUEL LINES.

Min. 3 m

(10 ft)

•Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and

clutch cover are fitted correctly. (See section on ”Assembly” ).

•Never start a chain saw indoors. Exhaust fumes can

be dangerous.

• Before starting the saw make sure there are no people or animals nearby who might be put at risk.

• Place the saw on the ground and hold the rear handle down with your right knee. Grasp the front handle firmly using your left hand. Make sure the chain saw is steady and the chain is not touching the ground. Then grasp the starter handle and pull the starter cord.

•Always store the chain saw and fuel away from any sources of sparks or naked flames, e.g. machines, electric motors, relays, switches, boilers, etc.

•Always store fuel in an approved container designed for that purpose.

•For longer periods of storage or for transport of the saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be emptied. Ask where you can dispose of waste fuel and chain oil at your local petrol station.

8Never use any accessories other than those recommended in this manual. See the sections on ”Cutting equipment” and ”Technical data” .

The risk of accident is increased if you use the wrong cutting equipment or a chain that is not sharpened correctly. Using the wrong combi- nation of bar and chain can increase the risk of accidents!
