1.2 Special instructions
WARNING! Read and understand the
following instructions to avoid personal
injury
The fuel used in the chainsaw has the following
hazardous properties:
• The fluid and its fumes are poisonous.
• Can cause skin irritation.
• Is highly inflammable.
The bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake) must be
fitted before the saw is started otherwise the clutch can
come loose and cause personal injury.
Wear hearing protection when test running.
Do not use the saw until it has been adjusted so that
the chain remains still when idling.
After test running, do not touch the muffler until it has
cooled. Risk of burn injuries.
Insufficient lubrication of the chain can result in the
chain breaking, which can cause serious or even life-
threatening injury.
Make sure that the spring in the starter does not fly out
and cause personal injury.
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.
Make sure 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 repair, the chain brake must be examined in
accordance with the instructions in the chain brake
chapter.
When replacing the crankshaft bearings note that the
crankcase halves are hot. Wear protective gloves
Do not direct the compressed air jet towards your body
or any person when using compressed air. Air can go
through the skin into the blood and result in mortal
danger.
