SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Place the chain saw on the ground and hold the rear
handle down with your right foot. Grasp the front handle
rmly using your left hand. Make sure the chain saw is
steady and the chain is not touching the ground or other
objects. Then grasp the starter handle with your right hand
and pull the starter cord. Never wrap the starter cord
around your hand
Fuel safety
Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or
mixing fuel (gasoline and 2-stroke oil).
Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point
before starting it.
Never start the machine:
1 If you have spilt fuel or chain oil on the machine. Wipe
off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
2 If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
Always store the chain saw and fuel so that there is no risk
of leakages or fumes coming into contact with sparks or
naked ames from electrical equipment, electric motors,
relays/switches, boilers and the like.
Always store fuel in an approved container designed for
that purpose.
For longer periods of storage or for transport of the chain
saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be emptied. Ask
where you can dispose of waste fuel and chain oil at your
local gas station.
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
The transport guard must always be tted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is being transported or in
storage.

Basic safety rules
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.
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.
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.
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.
!
WARNING! Fuel and fuel vapour are highly
ammable. Take care when handling fuel and
chain oil. Be aware of the risks of re,
explosion and those associated with
inhalation.
