1.9 Special Instructions

The fuel used in the chain saw has the following
hazardous properties:
• The fluid and its vapour are poisonous.
• Can cause eye and skin irritation.
• Can cause breathing problems.
• Is highly inflammable.
When using compressed air, do not direct the jet
towards your body. Air can penetrate into the blood
stream, which can endanger life.
Wear protective earplugs or earmuffs when test
running.
After test running, do not touch the muffler until it
has cooled down. Risk of burns. Use protective
gloves when working with the muffler.
Do not start the chain saw unless the bar, chain and
clutch cover (chain brake) are fitted, otherwise the
clutch may loosen and cause personal injury.
Insufficient chain lubrication can result in chain
breakage, which can cause serious or even life-
threatening injury.
Exercise care to ensure the starter spring does not
fly out and cause personal injury. Wear protective
glasses. If the spring tension is activated on the
starter pulley when it is to be taken up, the spring
can fly out and cause personal injury.
Check that the brake is applied when removing the
pressure spring on the chain brake. Otherwise the
pressure spring can fly out and cause personal
injury.
After repairing, check the chain brake, see
"Assembling chain brake \ Function check".
Keep in mind the fire risk. The chain saw may emit
sparks, which cause ignition.
Check the chain catcher and replace it if it is
damaged.
