Personal protective equipment

WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• Most chainsaw accidents occur when the saw chain
touches the operator. You must use approved
personal protective equipment during operation.
Personal protective equipment does not give you full
protection from injuries but it decreases the degree
of injury if an accident occurs. Speak to your
servicing dealer for recommendations about which
equipment to use.
• Your clothing must be close-fitting but not limit your
movements. Regularly do a check of the condition of
the personal protective equipment.
• Use an approved protective helmet.
• Use approved hearing protection. Long-term
exposure to noise can result in permanent damage
to the hearing.
• Use protective glasses or a face visor to decrease
the risk of injury from thrown objects. The product
can throw objects, such as wood chips, small pieces
of wood and more, at large force. This can result in
serious injury, especially to the eyes.
• Use gloves with saw protection.
• Use pants with saw protection.
• Use boots with saw protection, steel toe-cap and
non-slip sole.
• Always have a first-aid kit with you.
• Risk of sparks. Keep fire extinguishing tools and a
shovel near to prevent forest fires.

Keypad
The warning indicator flashes if the chain brake is
engaged or if there is a risk of overload. The overload
protection temporarily stops the product and you can not
use the product until the temperature restores. If the
indicator shows a solid light, turn to your servicing
dealer.
The automatic stop function
The product has an automatic stop function that stops
the product if you do not use it for one minute.
Chain brake and front hand guard
Your product has a chain brake that stops the saw chain
if you get a kickback. The chain brake decreases the
risk of accidents but only you can prevent them.
WARNING: Do not engage in situations
where there is a risk of kickback. Be careful
when you use your product and make sure
that the kickback zone of the guide bar does
not touch an object.
The chain brake engages manually by your left hand or
automatically by the inertia release mechanism. Push
the front hand guard forward to engage the chain brake
manually. This movement starts a spring-loaded
mechanism that stops the drive sprocket.
