Chain saws are designed solely for cutting wood. The only
cutting equipment that can be used with this chain saw are
the combinations of bars and chains recommended in the
”Technical data” section.
Fuel and fuel vapour are highly inflammable.
Take care when handling fuel and chain oil.
Keep away from naked flames and do not
breathe in fuel vapour.

Never use a chain saw if
you are tired, if you have
drunk alcohol, or if you
are taking medication that
affects your vision, your
judgement or your co-
ordination.

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).

LINES.
WARNING!
NEVER start the chain saw without activating
the chain brake first!
•
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.
•
Never start a chain saw
unless the bar, chain and
clutch cover are fitted
correctly. (See section on
”Assembly”).
•
•
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.
•
•
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.

Never 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!
•
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
