Before Using A New Chain Saw - RedMax CS2186 Manuel D'utilisation

Before using a new chain saw

• Please read the operator's manual carefully and make
sure you understand the instructions before using the
machine.
• Check that the cutting equipment is correctly fitted and
adjusted. See instructions under the heading Assembly.
• Refuel, start the chain saw and check the carburettor
settings. See the instructions under the headings Fuel
Handling, Starting and Stopping, and Carburettor.
• Do not use the chain saw until sufficient chain oil has
reached the chain. See instructions under the heading
Lubricating cutting equipment.
IMPORTANT! If the carburettor mixture is too lean it greatly
increases the risk of engine failure. Poor maintenance of the
air filter will cause carbon build-up on the spark plug and lead
to starting difficulties. If the chain is improperly adjusted it will
cause increased wear or damage to the bar, drive sprocket
and chain.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control
devices and system may be performed by any nonroad
engine repair establishment or individual.
WARNING! Under no circumstances may the
!
design of the machine be modified without
the permission of the manufacturer. Always
use genuine accessories. Non-authorized
modifications and/or accessories can result
in serious personal injury or the death of the
operator or others. Your warranty may not
cover damage or liability caused by the use
of non-authorized accessories or
replacement parts.
WARNING! A chain saw is a dangerous tool
!
if used carelessly or incorrectly and can
cause serious, even fatal injuries. It is very
important that you read and understand the
contents of this operator's manual.
WARNING! The inside of the muffler contain
!
chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid
contact with these elements in the event of a
damaged muffler.
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
!
engine's exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and
dust from sawdust can represent a health
risk.
WARNING! When using a chain saw, a fire
!
extinguisher should be available.
WARNING! Keep handles dry, clean and free
!
of oil.
WARNING! Beware of carbon monoxide
!
poisoning. Operate the chainsaw in well
ventilated areas only.
