SAFETY REGULATIONS
Special instructions
The fuel used in the chain saw has the following hazardous
properties:
• The fluid and its vapour are poisonous.
• Can cause skin irritation.
• Is highly inflammable.
The bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake) must be fitted
before the saw is started otherwise the clutch can work loose
and cause personal injury.
Wear ear-muffs when test running.
Do not use the saw until it has been adjusted so that the chain
remains still when idling.
After test running, do not touch the muffler until it has cooled.
Risk for burns.
Insufficient chain lubrication can result in chain breakage, which
can cause serious, even life-threatening injury.
Ensure that the spring in the starter does not fly out and cause
personal injury.
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 pressure
spring on the chain brake. Otherwise the pressure spring can fly
out and cause personal injury.
Do not direct the compressed air jet towards the body when
using compressed air. Air can penetrate in to the blood circula-
tion, which means mortal danger.
