2 Safety Precautions
Make sure the idle speed setting is correct. The
chain must not run when the engine is idling with
the throttle trigger released. Check and correct
the idle speed setting regularly. It the chain con‐
tinues to rotate when the engine is idling, have
your dealer make proper adjustments or repairs.
The chain saw produces poisonous
exhaust gases as soon as the engine
starts. These gases may be colour‐
less and odourless and may contain
unburnt hydrocarbons and benzene.
Never work with the machine indoors
or in poorly ventilated areas, even if
your machine is equipped with a cata‐
lytic converter.
Ensure proper ventilation when working in
trenches, hollows or other confined locations –
risk of fatal injury from breathing toxic fumes!
If you feel sick, have a headache, vision prob‐
lems (e. g., your field of vision gets smaller),
hearing problems, dizziness or inability to con‐
centrate, stop work immediately. Such symptoms
may be caused by an excessively high concen‐
tration of exhaust emissions – risk of accident!
