GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Stop switch
General rules
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
•
Only use cutting equipment recommended by us!
See instructions under the heading Technical data.
•
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.
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!
!
•
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.
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 mesh.
•
•
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.
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.
Cutting equipment designed to reduce
kickback
WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or
the wrong combination of bar and saw
!
chain increases the risk of kickback!
Only use the bar/saw chain combinations
we recommend, and follow the filing
instructions. See instructions under the
heading Technical data.
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.
The only way to avoid kickback is to make sure that the
kickback zone of the bar never touches anything.
•
•
•
Obtain optimal cutting performance.
Extend the life of cutting equipment.
Avoid increasing vibration levels.
By using cutting equipment with ”built-in” kickback
reduction and keeping the chain sharp and well-
maintained you can reduce the effects of kickback.
