s safety equipment
In this section the machine’s safety features and their
function are explained. For inspection and maintenance
see instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining
and servicing chain saw safety equipment. See
instructions under the heading, What is what?, to find
where these parts are located on your machine.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk
of accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not
carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not
carried out professionally. If you need further information
please contact your nearest service workshop.
Keypad
Make sure the machine is switched on or off when the
activate/deactivate button (1) is pressed and held (>1
sec.). The green LED (2) is lit or turned off.
The warning indicator (3) flashes if the chain brake is
activated or if there is a risk of overload. The overload
protection temporarily deactivates the machine. When the
machine is restored to normal temperature it is again
ready for use. Solid light indicates need for service.
Automatic switch off functionality
The machine is equipped with an automatic shutdown
feature that deactivates the machine if not used. The
machine will deactivate after 1 minute.
Chain brake and front hand guard
Your chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is
designed to stop the chain if you get a kickback. The chain
brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you can
prevent them.
Take care when using your saw and make sure the
kickback zone of the bar never touches any object.
• The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually
(by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia
release mechanism.
• The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is
pushed forwards.
• This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism
that stops the drive sprocket.
• The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate
the chain brake. Another important feature is that it
reduces the risk of your left hand hitting the chain if
you lose grip of the front handle.
• The chain brake must be engaged when the chain
saw is started.
IMPORTANT! Sparks can come from the bar and chain
or other sources. Always have fire extinguishing tools
available if you should need them. Help prevent forest
fires.
!
WARNING! Never use a machine with
defective safety components. Safety
equipment must be inspected and
maintained. See instructions under the
heading Checking, maintaining and
servicing chain saw safety equipment. If
your machine does not pass all the
checks, take the saw to a servicing
dealer for repair.
