Generally clothes should be close-fitting without
restricting your freedom of movement.
This top handle chainsaw is designed specifically for tree
surgery and maintenance in the tree. Due to the special
compact handle design (closely spaced handles), there is
an increased risk of losing control. For this reason these
special chainsaws should be used only for work in a tree
by persons who are trained in special cutting and working
techniques and who are properly secured (lift bucket,
ropes, safety harness). Regular chainsaws (with wider
spaced handles) are recommended for all other cutting
work at ground level.

s safety equipment
In this section the machine’s safety features and their
function are explained. For inspection and maintenance
see instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining
and servicing chain saw safety equipment. See
instructions under the heading, What is what?, to find
where these parts are located on your machine.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk
of accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not
carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not
carried out professionally. If you need further information
please contact your nearest servicing dealer.
Chain brake and front hand guard
Your chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is
designed to stop the chain if you get a kickback. The chain
brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you can
prevent them.
Take care when using your saw and make sure the
kickback zone of the bar never touches any object.
• The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually
(by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia
release mechanism.
• The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is
pushed forwards.
• This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism
that tightens the brake band (C) around the engine
drive system (D) (clutch drum).
• The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate
the chain brake. Another important feature is that it
IMPORTANT! Sparks can come from the muffler, the bar
and chain or other sources. Always have fire
extinguishing tools available if you should need them.

WARNING! Working in a tree requires the
use of special cutting and working
techniques which must be observed in
order to reduce the increased risk of
personal injury. Never work in a tree
unless you have received specific,
professional training for such work,
including training in the use of safety
and other climbing equipment, such as
harnesses, ropes, belts, climbing irons,
snap hooks, carabiners, etc.
!
WARNING! Never use a machine with
defective safety components. Safety
equipment must be inspected and
maintained. See instructions under the
heading Checking, maintaining and
servicing chain saw safety equipment. If
your machine does not pass all the
checks, take the saw to a servicing
dealer for repair.
