2.9 Special instructions
The fuel used for the chain saw has the
following hazardous properties:
• The liquid and its fumes are poisonous.
• Can cause eye and skin irritation.
• Can cause breathing difficulties.
• Is very flammable.
When using compressed air, do not direct the jet
towards the body. Air can penetrate into the blood
circulation system, which entails mortal danger.
Use hearing protection when test running.
After test running, do not touch the muffler before
it has cooled down. Risk of burns. Use protective
gloves when working with mufflers.
Do not start the chain saw unless the bar, chain
and clutch cover (chain brake) are fitted, otherwise
the clutch may come loose and cause personal
injury.
Insufficient chain lubrication can result in chain
breakage, which can cause serious or even fatal
injury.
Exercise care to ensure the spring does not fly out
and cause personal injury. Use protective goggles.
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
compression spring on the chain brake. Otherwise
the compression 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.
