WARNING! Under no circumstances may
!
the design of the machine be modified
without the permission of the
manufacturer. Always use genuine
accessories. Non-authorized
modifications and/or accessories can
result in serious personal injury or the
death of the operator or others. Your
warranty may not cover damage or
liability caused by the use of non-
authorized accessories or replacement

WARNING! A chain saw is a dangerous
!
tool if used carelessly or incorrectly and
can cause serious, even fatal injuries. It
is very important that you read and
understand the contents of this
operator's manual.
WARNING! The inside of the muffler
!
contain chemicals that may be
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these
elements in the event of a damaged
muffler.
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
!
engine's exhaust fumes, chain oil mist
and dust from sawdust can represent a
health risk.
WARNING! This machine produces an
!
electromagnetic field during operation.
This field may under some
circumstances interfere with active or
passive medical implants. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injury, we
recommend persons with medical
implants to consult their physician and
the medical implant manufacturer before
operating this machine.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Never allow children to use or
!
be in the vicinity of the machine. As the
machine is equipped with a spring-loaded
stop switch and can be started by low
speed and force on the starter handle,
even small children under some
circumstances can produce the force
necessary to start the machine. This can
mean a risk of serious personal injury.
Therefore remove the spark plug cap
when the machine is not under close
supervision.
Important
IMPORTANT!
This chain saw for forest service is designed for forest work such
as felling, delimbing and cutting.
You should only use the saw with the bar and chain combinations
we recommend in the chapter Technical data.
Never use the machine if you are fatigued, while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs, medication or anything that could
affect your vision, alertness, coordination or judgement.
Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions under the
heading "Personal protective equipment".
Do not modify this product or use it if it appears to have been
modified by others.
Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry out the checks,
maintenance and service instructions described in this manual.
Some maintenance and service measures must be carried out by
trained and qualified specialists. See instructions under the
heading Maintenance.
Never use any accessories other than those recommended in this
manual. See instructions under the headings Cutting equipment
and Technical data.
CAUTION! Always wear protective glasses or a face visor to
reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects. A chain saw is
capable of throwing objects, such as wood chips, small pieces of
wood, etc, at great force. This can result in serious injury, especially
to the eyes.
WARNING! Running an engine in a
!
confined or badly ventilated area can
result in death due to asphyxiation or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or
!
the wrong combination of bar and saw
chain increases the risk of kickback! Only
use the bar/saw chain combinations we
recommend, and follow the filing
instructions. See instructions under the
heading Technical data.
Always use common sense
It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you
can face when using a chain saw. Always exercise care
and use your common sense. Avoid all situations which
you consider to be beyond your capability. If you still feel
uncertain about operating procedures after reading these
instructions, you should consult an expert before
continuing. Do not hesitate to contact your dealer or us if
you have any questions about the use of the chain saw.
