Fuels / Refuelling
-
Stop the engine before refuelling the chain saw.
‑
Do not smoke or work near open fires (5).
-
Let the engine cool down before refuelling.
-
Fuels can contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and
skin should not come in contact with mineral oil products.
Always wear protective gloves when refuelling. Frequently
clean and change protective clothes. Do not breathe in fuel
vapors. Inhalation of fuel vapours can be hazardous to your
health.
-
Do not spill fuel or chain oil. When you have spilt fuel or oil
immediately clean the chain saw. Fuel should not come in
contact with clothes. If your clothes have come in contact with
fuel, change them ot once.
-
Ensure that no fuel or chain oil oozes into the soil
(environmental protection). Use an appropriate base.
-
Refuelling is not allowed in closed rooms. Fuel vapors will
accumulate near the floor (explosion hazard).
‑
Ensure to firmly tighten the screw plugs of the fuel and oil
tanks.
-
Change the place before starting the engine (at least 3 m from
the place of refuelling) (6).
-
Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time. Buy only
as much as will be consumed in the near future.
-
Use only approved and marked containers for the transport
and storage of fuel and chain oil. Ensure children have no
access to fuel or chain oil.
Putting into operation
Do not work on your own. Another person must be nearby
-
in case of emergencies (within shouting distance).
-
Ensure that there are no children or other people within the
working area. Pay attention to any animals in the working
area, as well (7).
-
Before starting work the chain saw must be checked for
perfect function and operating safety according to the
prescriptions.
Check especially the function of the chain brake, the correct
mounting of the guide bar, the correct sharpening and
tightening of the chain, the firm mounting of the sprocket
guard, the easy motion of the throttle lever and the function
of the throttle lever lock, the cleanliness and dryness of the
handles, and the function of the ON/OFF switch.
-
Put the chain saw only into operation if it is completely
assembled. Never use the chain saw when it is not completely
assembled.
-
Before starting the chain saw ensure that you have a safe footing.
-
Put the chain saw into operation only as described in this
instruction manual (8). Other starting methods are not
allowed.
-
When starting the chain saw it must be well supported and
securely held. The guide bar and chain must not be in contact
with any object.
-
When working with the chain saw always hold it with
both hands. Take the back handle with the right hand and the
tubular handle with the left hand. Hold the handles tightly with
your thumbs facing your fingers.
-
CAUTION: When releasing the throttle lever the chain will
keep on running for a short period of time (free-wheeling).
-
Continuously ensure that you have a safe footing.
-
Hold the chain saw such that you will not breathe in the
exhaust gas. Do not work in closed rooms (danger of
poisoning).
-
Switch off the chain saw immediately if you observe any
changes in its operating behavior.
-
The engine must be switched off before checking the
chain tension, tightening the chain, replacing it or
clearing malfunctions (9).
-
When the sawing device is hit by stones, nails or other hard
objects, switch off the engine immediately and check the
sawing device. If the chain saw is exposed to force, such
as through impact or falling, inspect the entire chain saw for
proper functioning.
-
When stopping work or leaving the working place switch off the
chain saw (9) and put it down such that nobody is endangered.
CAUTION: Do not put the overheated power
chain saw in dry grass or on any inflammable
objects. The muffler is very hot (danger of fire).
-
CAUTION: Oil dropping from the chain or guide bar after
having stopped the saw chain will pollute the soil. Always use
an appropriate base.
