engine's exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and
dust from sawdust can represent a health
risk.
• Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
covers are fitted correctly. See instructions under the
heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain attached to
the chain saw the clutch can come loose and cause
serious injury.
• The chain brake should be activated when starting. Se
instructions under the heading Start and stop. Do not drop
start. This method is very dangerous because you may
lose control of the saw.
• Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can be
dangerous if inhaled.
• Observe your surroundings and make sure that there is no
risk of people or animals coming into contact with the
cutting equipment.

STARTING AND STOPPING

• Always hold the saw with both hands. The right hand
should be on the rear handle, and the left hand on the front
handle. All people, whether right or left handed, should
use this grip. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles.
Stopping
Stop the engine by switching off the ignition.
CAUTION! The stop switch automatically reverts to start
position. To avoid involuntary start up, the ignition fuse must
always be removed from the spark plug when the machine is
unsupervised.
