• Never use the product if you are fatigued, while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs, medication
or anything that could affect your vision, alertness,
coordination or judgement.
• Do not use the product in bad weather such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold,
etcetera. Working in bad weather is tiring and often
brings added risks, such as icy ground,
unpredictable felling direction, etcetera.
• Faulty cutting equipment or the wrong combination
of guide bar and saw chain increases the risk of
kickback! Only use the guide bar and saw chain
combinations we recommend, and follow the filing
instructions. Refer to
instructions.
• Never start a product unless the guide bar, saw
chain and all covers are fitted correctly. Refer to
Assembly on page 9 for instructions. Without a
guide bar and saw chain attached to the product the
clutch can come loose and cause serious injury.
• Never start the product indoors. Exhaust fumes can
be dangerous if inhaled.
• Observe your surroundings and make sure that there
is no risk of people or animals coming in contact with
or affect your control of the product.
• Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the
kickback zone of the bar accidentally touches a
branch, nearby tree or some other object.
• Never use a chainsaw by holding it with one hand. A
chainsaw is not safely controlled with one hand; you
can cut yourself. Always have a secure, firm grip
around the handles with both hands.
• Always hold the chainsaw firmly with your right hand
on the top handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the
handles. You should use this grip whether you are
right handed or left handed. This grip minimizes the

effect of kickback and lets you keep the chainsaw
under control. Do not let go of the handles!
• Never use the chainsaw above shoulder height.
• Do not use the product in a situation where you
cannot call for help in case of an accident.
• Sometimes chips get stuck in the clutch cover
causing the saw chain to jam. Always stop the
engine before cleaning.
• If the saw chain jams in the cut: stop the engine!
• Running an engine in a confined or badly ventilated
area can result in death due to carbon monoxide
poisoning.
• The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may
contain sparks which can start a fire. Do not start the
product indoors or near flammable material.
• Use the chain brake as a parking brake when you
start the product and when you move short
distances. Always carry the product in the front
handle. This decreases the risk that you or a person
near you get hit by the saw chain.
• Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory
damage or nerve damage in people who have
impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you
experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration.
Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling,
tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in
skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally
appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. These
symptoms may be increased in cold temperatures.
• It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation
you can face when using a chainsaw. Always
