When working close to the ground, make sure that
no sand, grit or stones get between the saw chain.
-
Take particular care when cutting hedges next to or
against wire fences.
•
Make sure the idle speed setting is correct. The saw
chain must not run when the engine is idling with the
throttle trigger released. If the saw chain still run,
have your machine checked by an authorized dealer
or service center, to make proper adjustments or
repairs. Check and correct the idle speed setting
regularly.
•
Note that the saw chain continue to run for a short
period after you let go of the throttle trigger, due to
flywheel effect.
•
The gearbox becomes hot during operation. To
reduce the risk of burn injury, do not touch the
gearbox housing.
•
Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing
hearing protection because your ability to hear
warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted.
•
To reduce the risk of accidents, take sufficient break
in good time to avoid tiredness or exhaustion.
•
Work calmly and carefully in daylight conditions and
only when visibility is good. Stay alert so as not to
endanger others.
•
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from
breathing toxic fumes, ensure proper ventilation when
working in trenches, hollows or other confined
locations.
•
To reduce the risk of accidents, stop work
immediately in the event of nausea, headache, visual
disturbances (e.g. reduced field of vision), problems
with hearing, dizziness, deterioration in ability to
concentrate. Apart from other possibilities, these
symptoms may be caused by an excessively high
concentration of exhaust gases in the work area.
•
Operate your machine so that it produces a minimum
of noise and emissions. Do not run the engine
unnecessarily, accelerate the engine only when
working. To avoid noise complaints, in general
operate the machine between 8AM and 5PM on
weekdays, and 9AM to 5PM on weekends, detail
please refer to your local regulations.
•
Do not operate your machine in the starting throttle
position because engine speed cannot be controlled
in this position.
•
To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke while
operating or standing near your machine. Note that
combustible fuel vapor may escape from the fuel
system. Always clean plant residue, chips, debris,
leaves and excess lubricant off the engine and
muffler. Note that stop the engine before you perform
the cleaning work.
•
If your power tool is subjected to unusually high loads
for which it was not designed (e.g. heavy impact or a
fall), always check that it is in good condition before
continuing work. Check the fuel system in particular
for leaks and make sure the safety devices are
working properly. Do not continue operating your
machine if it is damaged. In case of doubt, consult
your local authorized deal or service center.
•
Opening the throttle while the saw chain is blocked
increases the load and reduces engine speed. The
clutch then slips continuously and this causes
overheating and damage to important components
(e.g. clutch, polymer housing components)
–
and
this can increase the risk of injury from the saw chain
moving while the engine is idling.
•
The dust that occurs during operation may be harmful
to health. If dust levels are very high, wear a suitable
respirator.
•
Before leaving the power tool unattended: Shut off
the engine.
•
Check the saw chain at regular short intervals during
operation or immediately if there is a noticeable
change in cutting behavior:
-
Shut off the engine.
-
Wait until the saw chain have come to a complete
standstill.
-
Check condition and tightness, look for cracks.
-
Check sharpness.
WARNING
The dust that occurs during chain
saw operation may be harmful to
health. Operators who are sensitive
to dust or other common airborne
allergens may need to wear a dust
mask.
After finishing your work
•
Always clean dust and dirt off the machine. Do not
use any grease solvents for this purpose.
•
Do not use a pressure washer to clean chain saw.
The solid jet of high pressure water may damage
parts of the machine.
Assembly
WARNING
Always shut off the engine and allow it cool down
before carrying out any work on the chain saw.
Always wear appropriate gloves
when handling the saw chain, in
order to protect your hands from
injury. The chain is sharp and can
cut you even when it is not moving!
If you received the chain saw in completely assembled
status, repeat all steps to ensure your chain saw is
properly assembled and all fasteners are secured.
Mounting guide bar and chain
1. Check that the chain brake is in disengaged
position by moving the front hand guard towards
the front handle.
