Safety precautions

Setup
Read this manual carefully. Make sure that you are
familiar with the different controls, settings and
handles of the equipment.
The safety of working with chain saws is based on,
that the safety devices of the chain saw are is good
condition. Before using the chain saw it is important
that the brake is cleaned, the chain is checked and
filed and that the chain brakes function is checked
and works.
Know how to stop the unit and ensure that you are
familiar with chain brake.
The chain saw is equipped with a chain brake. The
chain brake should be active with a light pressure
forward on the handprotector. The function can be
tested while the engine is running with full throttle.
The saw chain should stop immediately, once the
handprotector is activated.
The chain brake is mounted in order to protect
against "throws", which are quick upwards going
movements of the bar. These may appear if the bar
tip hits a foreign object. Therefore it is important
you are aware of how the chain brake works.
The chain brake should be cleaned, and spare
parts must be replaced if the chain brake is not
working properly

local regulations can restrict the age of the

Do not refuel gasoline indoors or while the engine

Make sure the chain does not move when the
