GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

the saw chain. Third, the chain brake may be activated but
if the bar is too close to you the brake might not have
enough time to slow down and stop the chain before the
chain saw hits you.
Only you and proper working technique can eliminate
kickback and its danger.
Throttle lockout
The power trigger lockout is designed to prevent
accidental operation of the power trigger. When you press
the power trigger lockout (A) (i.e when you grasp the
handle) it releases the power trigger (B). When you
release the handle the power trigger and the power trigger
lockout both move back to their original positions.
Chain catcher
The chain catcher is designed to catch the chain if it snaps
or jumps off. This should not happen if the chain is
properly tensioned (see instructions under the heading
Assembly) and if the bar and chain are properly serviced
and maintained (see instructions under the heading
General working instructions).
Right hand guard
Apart from protecting your hand if the chain jumps or
snaps, the right hand guard stops branches and twigs
from interfering with your grip on the rear handle.
Vibrations
Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates more
vibration than cutting softwoods (most conifers). Cutting
with cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty (wrong type
or badly sharpened) will increase the vibration level.
Battery and battery charger
This section describes the battery and battery charger
safety for your battery product.
Only use Husqvarna original batteries for Husqvarna
products and only charge them in an original battery
charger from Husqvarna. The batteries are software
encrypted.
Battery safety
The rechargeable Husqvarna batteries, BLi, are
exclusively used as a power supply for the relevant

devices.
