It is not possib

 

le 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.

ARNING! Under no circumstances may 

the design of the machine be modified 
without the permission of the 
manufacturer. Always use genuine 
accessories. Non-authorized 
modifications and/or accessories can 
result in serious personal injury or the 
death of the operator or others. Your 
warranty may not  cover damage or 
liability caused by the use of non-
authorized accessories or replacement 
parts.

ARNING! A chain saw is a dangerous 

tool if used carelessly or incorrectly and 
can cause serious, even fatal injuries. It 
is very important that you read and 
understand the contents of this 
operator’s manual.

!

 

W

 

ARNING! The inside of the muffler 

contain chemicals that may be 
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these 
elements in the event of a damaged 
muffler.

!

 

W

 

ARNING! Long term inhalation of the 

engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist 
and dust from sawdust can represent a 
health risk.

!

 

W

 

ARNING! The ignition system of this 

machine produces an electromagnetic 
field during operation. This field may 
under some circumstances interfere with 
pacemakers. To reduce the risk of 
serious or fatal injury, we recommend 
persons with pacemakers to consult 
their physician and the pacemaker 
manufacturer before operating this 
machine.

 

IMPOR

 

TANT!

The machine is only designed for cutting wood.

You should only use the saw with the bar and chain 
combinations we recommend in the chapter Technical 
data.

Never use the machine if you are fatigued, while under 
the influence of alcohol or drugs, medication or anything 
that could affect your vision, alertness, coordination or 
judgement. 

Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions 
under the heading Personal protective equipment.

Do not modify this product or use it if it appears to have 
been modified by others.

Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry out the checks, 
maintenance and service instructions described in this 
manual. Some maintenance and service measures 
must be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. 
See instructions under the heading Maintenance.

Never use any accessories other than those 
recommended in this manual. See instructions under 
the headings Cutting equipment and Technical data.

CAUTION! Always wear protective glasses or a face 
visor to reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects. A 
chain saw is capable of throwing objects, such as wood 
chips, small pieces of wood, etc, at great force. This can 
result in serious injury, especially to the eyes.

!

 

W

 

ARNING! Running an engine in a 

confined or badly ventilated area can 
result in death due to asphyxiation or 
carbon monoxide poisoning.

!

 

W

 

ARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or 

the wrong combination of bar and saw 
chain increases the risk of kickback! 
Only use the bar/saw chain combinations 
we recommend, and follow the filing 
instructions. See instructions under the 
heading Technical  data.
