ARNING! Chain saws can be

dangerous! Careless or improper use
can result in serious or fatal injury to
the operator or others.

Please read the operator’s manual
carefully and make sure you
understand the instructions before
using the machine.

Always wear:
•

Approved protective helmet

•

Approved hearing protection

•

Protective goggles or a visor

Both of the operator

′

s hands must be used

to operate the chain saw.

Never operate a chain saw holding it with
one hand only.

Contact of the guide bar tip with any object
must be avoided.

Tip contact may cause the guide bar to
move suddenly upward and backward (so-
called kickback), which may cause serious
injury.

Other symbols/decals on the mac

hine refer to special

certification requirements for certain markets.

Symbols in the operator’

s manual:

Switch off the engine b

y moving the

stop switch to the STOP position before
carrying out any checks or
maintenance.

Always wear approved protective
gloves.

Regular cleaning is required.

Visual check.

Protective goggles or a visor must be
worn.

Refuelling.

Filing with oil and adjusting oil flow.

The chain brake must be engaged
when the chain saw is started.

WARNING! Kickback may occur when the
nose or tip of the guide bar touches an
object, and cause a lightning fast reverse
reaction, kicking the guide bar up and
towards the operator. May cause serious
personal injury.
