of personal injury if instructions
are not followed.
NOTE!
The warning text indicates a risk of
damage to equipment if instructions
are not followed.
The chain saw is type approved with
regard to safety according to applicable
legal requirements when fitted with the
cutting equipment specified in the
Operator's Manual. Equipping the saw with
other equipment or accessories and spare
parts not approved by Husqvarna can
result in non compliance with these safety
requirements and liability for persons
carrying out such modifications.
The fuel used in the chain saw poses the
following hazards:
1. The fluid and its fumes are poisonous.
2. Can cause eye and skin irritation.
3. Can cause breathing difficulties
4. Is highly inflammable.
The bar, chain and clutch cover (chain
brake) must be assembled before the
chain saw is started, otherwise the clutch
may come loose causing personal injury.
Wear ear muffs when testing the chain
saw.
Do not use the saw until it has been
adjusted so that the chain does not rotate
when idling.
Bear in mind the fire risk. The saw can
produce sparks that can cause a fire hazard..
After testing, do not touch the
silencer until it has cooled. Risk
of burns. This especially applies if
the saw is fitted with a catalytic converter.
The coating on and in the catalytic element
is hazardous to touch. Use protective gloves
when working on the catalytic converter.
Inadequate chain lubrication can result in
the chain breaking, which can cause
serious or fatal injury.
Make sure that the starter recoil
spring does not fly out and cause
personal injury. Release the spring
tension before the cord pulley is removed.
When removing the pressure
spring for the chain brake, ensure
that the brake is in the 'on'
position which reduces the spring
tension, otherwise the spring can fly out
causing personal injury.
After repair, the chain brake must be
checked in accordance with the
instructions on page 47.
When replacing the crankshaft bearings
note that the crankcase halves are hot.
Use protective gloves.
When using compressed air, the air jet
should never be pointed towards the body.
Air can be forced into the blood stream,
which can cause fatality.
Workshops where chain saws are serviced
must be equipped with safety equipment
as set out in local directives.
No one should repair a chain saw without
first having read and understood the
contents of this workshop manual.
The following warning texts are to be found
in this manual in certain places. The
warning texts occur before the procedure
to which they refer.
