Husqvarna 395XP, 395XPG STARTING AND STOPPING

STARTING AND STOPPING

20 – English

• 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

The engine is stopped by pushing the stop switch to the

stop position.

!

WARNING! Long term inhalation of the

engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist

and dust from sawdust can represent a

health risk.
