SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Special instructions
The fuel used in the chain saw has the following dangerous
characteristics:
• The liquid and its vapours are poisonous.
• Can cause skin irritation.
• Is extremely inflammable.
The bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake) must be fitted
before the saw is started otherwise the clutch can come loose
and cause personal injury.
Use ear protection when test running.
Do not use the saw before it is adjusted so that the chain does
not rotate when idling.
Do not touch the muffler after test running until it has cooled.
Risk of burn injuries.
Inadequate chain lubrication can result in the chain breaking,
which can cause serious, even fatal injury.
Make sure the starter recoil spring does not fly out and cause
personal injury.
The spring can fly out and cause personal injury, if the spring
tension is activated on the cord pulley when removed.
Check that the brake is in the braking position when the
pressure springs on the chain brake shall be removed. Other-
wise the pressure spring can fly out and cause personal injury.
When using compressed air, the air jet should never be pointed
towards the body. Air can be forced into the blood stream,
which can cause fatality.
