Before Using A New Chain Saw; Important - Husqvarna T536 LiXP Operator's Manual

• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected
situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.

Before using a new chain saw

• Please read this manual carefully.
• Fully charge the battery before using it the first time.
See instructions under the heading Charging the
battery.
• Fill with chain oil. See instructions under the heading
Filling with chain oil.
• Do not use the chain saw until sufficient chain oil has
reached the chain. See instructions under the heading
Lubricating cutting equipment.
• Check that the cutting equipment is correctly fitted and
adjusted. See instructions under the heading
Assembly.
• Long-term exposure to noise can result in permanent
hearing impairment. So always use approved hearing
protection.
