■BASIC SAFETY RULESManual background WARNING

This chainsaw has been especially designed for tree maintenance and should therefore only be used by trained operators when working up in the trees.

Under no circumstances may the design of the ma- chine be modified without the permission of the manu- facturer. Always use genuine accessories. Non-autho- rized modifications and/or accessories can result in serious personal injury or the death of the operator or others.

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.

BASIC SAFETY RULES

1. Never operate a chain saw when you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or under the influence of medication that may make you drowsy, or if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

2. Use safety footwear, snug fitting clothing and eye, hearing and head protection devices.

Use vibration reducing gloves. Most chain saw accidents happen when the chain touches the opera- tor.

Personal protective equipment can- not eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury.

5. Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the chain saw is running. Use a firm grip with thumb and fingers encircling the chain saw handles.

6. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is run- ning.

7.All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the Owner’s Manual,

should be performed by competent chain saw service personnel. (E.g., if improper tools are used to remove the flywheel, or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could occur which could subsequently cause the fly- wheel to disintegrate.)

8.Always shut off the engine before setting it down.

9.Never cut in high wind, bad weather, when visibility is poor or in very high or low temperatures.

10.Operate the chain saw only in well ventilated areas. Never start or run the engine inside a closed room or building and potentially explosive at- mosphere. Exhaust fumes contain dangerous carbon monoxide.
