repairs.
•
May cause irritation to skin or eyes.
The workshop manual has been written for person-
nel who are assumed to have general experience
of repairing and servicing chainsaws.
• May cause breathing difficulties.
Highly flammable.
•
Workshops where chainsaws are repaired must be
equipped with safety equipment that meets local
regulations.
When using compressed air the air jet should
never be pointed at the body. Air can be forced into
the bloodstream and cause fatal injury.
No-one should carry out repairs on a chainsaw
until they have read and understood the contents
of this workshop manual.
Wear ear protection when testing saws.
After testing a saw do not touch the silencer until
it has cooled down. The silencer gets very hot and
you may burn yourself. Wear protective gloves
when working on the silencer.
Chainsaws are type-approved to meet the relevant
safety legislation, but this only applies when the
saw is fitted with the cutting equipment speci-
fied in the user’s manual. The fitting of any other
equipment, or of accessories or parts that are not
approved by Jonsered, could mean that the saw
no longer meets these safety requirements and
the person who carried out the work may be held
responsible for its non-conformance.
The guide bar, chain and clutch cover (chain
brake) must be fitted before the saw is started. If
not, the clutch may come loose and cause injury.
Poor chain lubrication can result in failure of the
chain, which could cause serious or fatal injury.
In this workshop manual the following boxes indi-
cate where caution should be taken.
Take care to ensure that the spring inside the
starter assembly does not fly out and cause injury.
Wear eye protection. If the spring is under com-
pression when the pulley is removed it could fly out
and cause injury.
WARNING!
The warning text warns of the risk
of personal injury if the instruc-
tions are not followed.
Before removing the tensioning spring from the
chain brake, ensure that the brake is in the on po-
sition, otherwise the spring may fly out and cause
injury.
After completing the repair the chain brake must be
tested, see “Chain brake – reassembly \ Operating
test”.
NOTE!
The warning text warns of the risk of ma-
terial damage if the instructions are not
followed.
Always consider the fire risk. A chainsaw can pro-
duce sparks that could start a fire.
Inspect the chain catcher and replace it if it is dam-
aged.
