GENERAL SAFETY PRECA UTIONS
contact your dealer or us if you have any questions about the
use of the chain saw. We will willingly be of service and
provide you with advice as well as help you to use your chain
saw both efficiently and safely. Attend a training course in
chain saw usage if possible. Your dealer, forestry school or
your library can provide information about which training
materials and courses are available.
Work is constantly in progress to improve the design and
technology - improvements that increase your safety and
efficiency. Visit your dealer regularly to see whether you can
benefit from new features that have been introduced.
Personal protective equipment
WARNING! Most chain saw accidents
!
happen when the chain touches the
operator. You must use approved personal
protective equipment whenever you use the
machine. Personal protective equipment
cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident
does happen. Ask your dealer for help in
choosing the right equipment.
• Approved protective helmet
• Hearing protection
• Protective goggles or a visor
• Gloves with saw protection
• Trousers with saw protection
• Boots with saw protection, steel toe-cap and non-slip sole
• Always have a first aid kit nearby.
• Fire Extinguisher and Shovel

Generally clothes should be close-fitting without restricting
your freedom of movement.

tools available if you should need them. Help prevent forest
fires.
Machine' ' ' ' s safety equipment
In this section the machine's safety features and their function
are explained. For inspection and maintenance see
instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and
servicing chain saw safety equipment. See instructions under
the heading, What is what?, to find where these parts are
located on your machine.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of
accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried
out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out
professionally. If you need further information please contact
your nearest servicing dealer.
WARNING! Never use a machine with
!
defective safety components. Safety
equipment must be inspected and
maintained. See instructions under the
heading Checking, maintaining and
servicing chain saw safety equipment. If
your machine does not pass all the checks,
take the saw to a servicing dealer for repair.
Chain brake and front hand guard
Your chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is
designed to stop the chain if you get a kickback. The chain
brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you can prevent
them.
Take care when using your saw and make sure the kickback
zone of the bar never touches any object.
• The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually (by
your left hand) or automatically by the inertia release
mechanism.
• The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is
pushed forwards.
