Observe your surroundings and make sure that there is
no risk of people or animals coming into contact with
the cutting equipment.
•
Always hold the chainsaw with both hands. The right
hand should be on the rear handle, and the left hand
on the front handle. All people, whether right or left
handed, should use this grip. Use a firm grip with thumbs
and fingers encircling the chainsaw handles.
Stopping
The engine is stopped by pushing the stop switch to the stop
position.
Carburettor anti-freeze mechanism
Operating the chainsaw in temperatures of 0-5°C at times
of high humidity may result in ice forming within the
carburettor. This may cause the output power of the engine
to be reduced or for the engine to fail to operate smoothly.
This product has accordingly been designed with a ventilation
hatch at the back of the air cleaner cover to allow warm air
to be supplied to the engine and to thereby prevent icing
from occurring. (For some other models, a hot wind cover
can adjust the hot air intake.)
Under normal circumstances, the product should be used
in normal operating mode, which it is set at the time of
shipment.
However, when the possibility exists that icing may occur,
the unit should be set to operate in anti-freeze mode before
use.
How to switch between operating
modes
A. Switching by air filter cover
1. Flip the engine switch to turn off the engine.
2. Remove the air cleaner cover from the cylinder cover.
3. Re-attach the screen right side left so as to the anti-icing
plate is on the right. Reinstall the cover.
B. Switching by hot wind cover
1. Flip the engine switch to turn off the engine.
2. Remove the air cleaner cover from the cylinder cover.
3. Revolve the hot wind cover to the Anti-freeze mode.
4. Re-install the cover.
STARTING AND STOPPING
WARNING! Continuing to use the chainsaw
in anti-freeze mode once temperatures have
risen and returned to normal may result in
the engine failing to start properly or in
the engine failing to operate at its normal speed. For
this reason you should always ensure the unit is set to
normal operating mode if there is no danger of icing
occurring.
