Check that the muffler is securely attached and not
damaged.
Check that all parts of the chain saw are tightened
correctly and that they are not damaged or missing.

Take great care when removing small branches and
avoid cutting bushes (i.e.cutting many small branches
at the same time). Small branches can be grabbed by
the chain and thrown back at you, causing serious
injury.

damaged. Replace it if necessary with an aluminium
chain catcher (is available as spare part).

Check the chain tension.
General working instructions
IMPORTANT!
This section describes basic safety rules for using a
chain saw. This information is never a substitute for
professional skills and experience. If you get into a
situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek expert
advice.Contact your chain saw dealer, service agent or
an experienced chain saw user. Do not attempt any
task that you feel unsure of!

Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the
area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping
ground.
Before using a chain saw you must understand the
effects of kickback and how to avoid them. See
instructions under the heading How to avoid kickback.
Before using a chain saw you must understand the
difference between cutting with the top and bottom
edges of the bar. See instructions under the headings
How to avoid kickback and Machine’s safety equipment.
Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under the heading Personal protective equipment.
5
Take great care when cutting a tree that is in tension.
A tree that is in tension may spring back to its normal
position before or after being cut. If you position
yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the wrong place
the tree may hit you or the machine and cause you to
lose control. Both situations can cause serious
personal injury.
