Fuels / Refuelling
- Stop the engine before refuelling the chain saw.
- Do not smoke or work near open
Þ
res (5).
- Let the engine cool down before refuelling.
- Fuels can contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and skin
should not come in contact with mineral oil products. Always wear
protective gloves when refuelling. Frequently clean and change
protective clothes. Do not breathe in fuel vapors. Inhalation of fuel
vapours can be hazardous to your health.
- Do not spill fuel or chain oil. When you have spilt fuel or oil im-
mediately clean the chain saw. Fuel should not come in contact
with clothes. If your clothes have come in contact with fuel, change
them ot once.
-
Ensure that no fuel or chain oil oozes into the soil (environmental
protection). Use an appropriate base.
- Refuelling is not allowed in closed rooms. Fuel vapors will ac-
cumulate near the
ß
oor (explosion hazard).
- Ensure
to
Þ
rmly tighten the screw caps of the fuel and oil tanks.
- Change the place before starting the engine (at least 3 m from
the place of refuelling) (6).
-
Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time. Buy only as
much as will be consumed in the near future.
- Use only approved and marked containers for the transport and
storage of fuel and chain oil. Ensure children have no access to
fuel or chain oil.
Putting into operation
-
Do not work on your own. There must be someone around
in case of an emergency
(
within shouting distance
)
.
-
Ensure that there are no children or other people within the work-
ing area. Pay attention to any animals in the working area, as well
(7).
-
Before starting work the chain saw must be checked for
perfect function and operating safety according to the pre-
scriptions.
Check especially the function of the chain brake, the correct mount-
ing of the guide bar, the correct sharpening and tightening of the
chain, the
Þ
rm mounting of the sprocket guard, the easy motion
of the throttle lever and the function of the throttle lever lock, the
cleanliness and dryness of the handles, and the function of the
ON/OFF switch.
-
Start the chain saw only after complete assembly and inspection.
Operation of the device is only permitted after all the appropriate
accessories are attached!
- Before starting the chain saw ensure that you have a safe foot-
ing.
-
Put the chain saw into operation only as described in this instruc-
tion manual (8). Other starting methods are not allowed.
- When starting the chain saw it must be well supported and se-
curely held. The guide bar and chain must not be in contact with
any object.
-
When working with the chain saw always hold it with both
hands
. Take the back handle with the right hand and the tubular
handle with the left hand. Hold the handles tightly with your thumbs
facing your
Þ
ngers.
-
CAUTION: When releasing the throttle lever the chain will
keep on running for a short period of time
(free-wheeling)
.
- Continuously ensure that you have a safe footing.
- Hold the chain saw such that you will not breathe in the exhaust
gas. Do not work in closed rooms (danger of poisoning).
-
Switch off the chain saw immediately if you observe any
changes in its operating behavior.
-
The engine must be switched off before checking the chain
tension, tightening the chain, replacing it or clearing malfunc-
tions
(9).
-
When the sawing device is hit by stones, nails or other hard objects,
switch off the engine immediately and check the sawing device.
- When stopping work or leaving the working place switch off the
chain saw (9) and put it down such that nobody is endangered.
-
Do not put the overheated power chain saw in dry grass or on any
in
ß
ammable objects. The muf
ß
er is very hot (danger of
Þ
re).
-
CAUTION
: Oil dropping from the chain or guide bar after having
stopped the saw chain will pollute the soil. Always use an appro-
priate base.
