Safety instructions for the cutting equipment
WARNING:
Read the warning
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
• Only use approved guide bar/saw chain
combinations and filing equipment. Refer to
Technical data on page 24
for instructions.
• Use protective gloves when you use or do
maintenance on the saw chain. A saw chain that
does not move can also cause injuries.
• Keep the cutting teeth correctly sharpened. Obey the
instructions and use the recommended file gauge. A
saw chain that is damaged or incorrectly sharpened
increases the risk of accidents.
(Fig. 39)
• Keep the correct depth gauge setting. Obey the
instructions and use the recommended depth gauge
setting. Too large depth gauge setting increases the
risk of kickback.
(Fig. 40)
• Make sure that the saw chain has the correct
tension. If the saw chain is not tight against the guide
bar, the saw chain can derail. An incorrect saw chain
tension increases wear on the guide bar, saw chain
and chain drive sprocket. Refer to
Accessories on
page 25 .
(Fig. 41)
• Do maintenance on the cutting equipment regularly
and keep it correctly lubricated. If the saw chain is
not correctly lubricated, the risk of wear on the guide
bar, saw chain and chain drive sprocket increases.
