Page 5: Fuels / Refuelling
Fuels / Refuelling ‑ Stop the engine before refuelling the chain saw. ‑ Do not smoke or work near open fires (5). ‑ Let the engine cool down before refuelling. ‑ Fuels can contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and skin should not come in contact with mineral oil products. -
Page 6: Kickback
Kickback ‑ When working with the chain saw dangerous kickbacks may occur. ‑ Kickback occurs when the upper part of the end of the guide bar inadvertently touches wood or other hard objects (10). ‑ This causes the saw to be thrown back toward the user with great force and out of control. - Page 7 ‑ Be careful when cutting splintery wood. Cut pieces of wood may be pulled along (risk of injuries). ‑ When cutting with the upper edge of the guide bar, the chain saw may be pushed in the direction of the user if the chain gets clamped.
