GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty (wrong type or badly
sharpened) will increase the vibration level.
WARNING! Never use a saw without a
muffler, or with a damaged muffler. A
damaged muffler may substantially
increase the noise level and the fire hazard.
Keep fire fighting equipment handy. If a
spark arrestor screen is required in your
area, never use the saw without or with a
broken spark arrestor screen.
!
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can
!
lead to circulatory damage or nerve
damage in people who have impaired
circulation. Contact your doctor if you
experience symptoms of overexposure to
vibration. Such symptoms include
numbness, loss of feeling, tingling,
pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in
skin colour or condition.These symptoms
normally appear in the fingers, hands or
wrists.These symptoms may be increased
in cold temperatures.
Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
Reduce the risk of kickback.
Reduce the risk of the saw chain breaking or jumping off
the bar.
Obtain optimal cutting performance.
Extend the life of cutting equipment.
Avoid increasing vibration levels.

General rules
Stop switch
•
Only use cutting equipment recommended by us!
See instructions under the heading Technical data.
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
•
Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly sharpened!
Follow our instructions and use the recommended
file gauge. A damaged or badly sharpened chain
increases the risk of accidents.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
•
Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended depth gauge
clearance. Too large a clearance increases the risk of
kickback.
WARNING! The exhaust fumes from the
!
engine are hot and may contain sparks
which can start a fire. Never start the
machine indoors or near combustible
material!
In areas with a hot, dry climate there is a high risk of fires.
These areas are sometimes subject to government rules
requiring among other things the muffler must be equipped
with an approved type of spark arrestor screen.
•
•
Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is
slack it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased
wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly
maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is more likely to
break and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and
drive sprocket.
CAUTION! The muffler gets very hot during and after use.
This also applies during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,
especially when working near flammable substances and/
or vapours.
