GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using a new chain saw please read this manual 
carefully.

WARNING! Under no circumstances may the 
design of the machine be modi

fi

 ed  without 

the permission of the manufacturer. Always 

use genuine accessories. Non-authorized modi

fi

 ca-

tions and/or accessories can result in serious personal 
injury or the death of the operator or others.

WARNING! A chain saw is a dangerous tool if 
used carelessly or incorrectly and can cause 
serious, even fatal injuries. It is very impor-

tant that you read and understand the contents of this 
operator’s manual.

WARNING! Running an engine in a con

fi

 ned 

or badly ventilated area can result in death 
due to asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poi-

soning.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

•  Approved protective helmet
• Hearing 

protection

•  Protective goggles or a visor
•  Gloves with saw protection
•  Trousers with saw protection
•  Boots with saw protection, steel toe-cap and non-

slip sole

Generally clothes should be close-

fi

 tting without re-

stricting your freedom of movement.

MACHINE'S SAFETY EQUIPMENT

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 service work-
shop.

WARNING! Never use a machine with defec-
tive safety components. Safety equipment 
must be inspected and

maintained. See instructions under the heading Check-
ing, maintaining and servicing chain saw safety equip-
ment. If your machine does not pass all the checks, 
take the saw to a servicing dealer for repair.

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 can either be activated manually 

(by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia re-
lease mechanism.

•  The brake is applied when the front hand guard is 

pushed forwards.

•  This movement activates a spring-loaded mecha-

nism that tightens the brake band around the engine 
drive system (clutch drum).

•  The front hand guard is not designed solely to ac-

tivate the chain brake. Another important feature is 
that it reduces the risk of your left hand hitting the 
chain if you lose grip of the front handle.

•  The chain brake must be engaged when the chain 

saw is started to prevent the saw chain from rotat-
ing.

•  Use the chain brake as a ”parking brake” when 

starting and when moving over short distances, to 
reduce the risk of moving chain accidentally hitting 
your leg or anyone or anything close by.

•  To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard 

backwards, towards the front handle.

•  Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most 

kickbacks are minor and do not always activate the 
chain brake. If this happens you should hold the 
chain saw 

fi

 rmly and not let go.

•  The way the chain brake is activated, either manu-

ally or automatically by the inertia release mecha-
nism, depends on the force of the kickback and the 
position of the chain saw in relation to the object that 
the kickback zone of the bar strikes.

If you get a violent kickback while the kickback zone 
of the bar is farthest away from you the chain brake is 
designed to be activated by the inertia in the kickback
direction.

VIBRATION DAMPING SYSTEM

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping 
system that is designed to minimize vibration and make 
operation easier.
The machine

′

s vibration damping system reduces the 

transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting 
equipment and the machine

′

s handle unit. The body of 

the chain saw, including the cutting equipment, is insu-
lated from the handles by vibration damping units.
Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates 
more vibration than cutting softwoods (most conifers). 
Cutting with cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty 
(wrong type or badly sharpened) will increase the vi-
bration level.
