1.2 Special instructions

The fuel used in the chainsaw has the following
hazardous properties:
1. The fluid and its fumes are poisonous.
2. Can cause skin irritation.
3. Is highly inflammable.
The bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake) must be
fitted before the saw is started otherwise the clutch can
work loose and cause personal injury.
Wear ear-muffs 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.
Ensure 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.
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 repair, the chain brake must be checked 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 the body
when using compressed air. Air can penetrate into the
blood circulation, which means life-threatening danger.
