Always use common sense
It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you can
face when using a chain saw. Always exercise care and use
your common sense. Avoid all situations which you consider
to be beyond your capability. If you still feel uncertain about
operating procedures after reading these instructions, you
should consult an expert before continuing. Do not hesitate
to 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.

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.
