SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Vibration damping system
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation.
Make sure the vibration damping units are securely attached
to the engine unit and handle unit.
Stop switch
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you
move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Muffler
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the
machine.
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor
mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will
cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.
Never use a muffler if the spark arrestor mesh is missing
or defective.
Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
• Reduce the risk of kickback.
• Reduce the risk of the chain breaking or jumping.
• Obtain maximum cutting performance.
• Extend the life of cutting equipment.
General rules
•
Only use cutting equipment recommended by us!
See the Technical data section.
•
Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly sharpened!
Follow our instructions and use the recommended file
gauge.
A damaged or badly sharpened chain increases
the risk of accidents.
•
Maintain the correct raker clearance! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended raker gauge.
Too large a clearance increases the risk of kickback.
•
Keep the chain properly tensioned!
If the chain is slack
it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased wear on
the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
•
Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly
maintained!
A poorly lubricated chain is more likely to
break and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and
drive sprocket.
!
WARNING! Never use a machine with faulty
safety equipment. The machine’s safety
equipment must be checked and maintained
as described in this section. If your machine
fails any of these checks contact your
service agent to get it repaired.
