SAFETY REGULATIONS

Special instructions
The fuel used in the chainsaw poses the following hazards:
1. The fl uid and its fumes are poisonous.
2. Can cause skin irritation.
3. Is highly infl ammable.
The guide bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake) must
be assembled before the chainsaw is started, otherwise
the clutch may come loose causing personal injury.
Wear ear defenders when testing the chainsaw.
Do not use the saw before it has been adjusted so that
the chain is still when idling.
After testing, do not touch the silencer until it has cooled.
Risk for burns.
Inadequate lubrication of the chain can result in the chain
breaking, which can cause serious or life threatening injury.
Make sure that the starter recoil spring does not fl y out
and cause personal injury.
If the spring is tensioned when the cord pulley is removed,
the spring can fl y out causing personal injury.
When removing the pressure spring for the chain brake,
ensure that the brake is in the on position, otherwise the
spring can fl y out causing personal injury.
After repair, the chain brake must be checked in accordance
with the instructions on page 13.
When replacing the crankshaft bearings note that the
crankcase halves are hot. Use protective gloves.
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.
