General working instructions
Basic safety rules
1 Look around you:
• To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot
affect your control of the machine.
• To make sure that none of the above might come within
reach of your saw or be injured by falling trees.
CAUTION! Follow the instructions above, but do not use a
chain saw in a situation where you cannot call for help in case
of an accident.
2 Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as
icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.
3 Take great care when removing small branches and avoid
cutting bushes (i.e. cutting many small branches at the
same time). Small branches can be grabbed by the chain
and thrown back at you, causing serious injury.
4 Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the area
around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches,
ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take
great care when working on sloping ground.
5 Take great care when cutting a tree that is in tension. A
tree that is in tension may spring back to its normal
position before or after being cut. If you position yourself
