General safety notices
m
CAUTION!: When working with tools that use fuel, the following basic
rules must be followed in order to minimise the risk of physical injury and/
or damage to the machine.
Read these notices before using the saw, and store them safely.
1. Do not use the saw when you are tired, ill or under the influence of al-
cohol and/or drugs.
2. Be careful when handling fuel. Use the saw at a distance of at least 3m
from the fuel filling location.
3. Start cutting only when the working environment has been tidied,
when you have established secure footing and planned an escape
route from the falling tree.
4. Before starting the chainsaw, make sure it is not in contact with any
objects.
5. Carry the chainsaw only when the motor has stopped running, the
blade cover is on the chain bar and the exhaust is facing away from
you.
6. Do not start a chainsaw that is damaged, incorrectly set up or assem-
bled incompletely or loosely. Ensure that the chainsaw stops when the
chain brake is activated.
7. Turn off the motor before putting the chainsaw down.
8. When cutting small bushes and saplings, be particularly careful be-
cause the thin branches can become caught in the saw and be ejected
towards you or unbalance you.
9. When cutting a branch under tension, be aware of potential kickback
when the tension is suddenly released.
10. Ensure that handles are dry, clean and free from oil or fuel.
11. Do not cut trees with this chainsaw unless you have the relevant train-
ing.
12. The overall maintenance of this chainsaw, apart from the points spec-
ified in this manual and these maintenance instructions, must be car-
ried out by an authorised customer service.
13. For transport and storage of the chainsaw, fit the blade cover to the
chain bar.
14. Do not work with the chainsaw next to or in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases, neither indoors nor outdoors. There is a risk of explo-
sion and/or fire.
