• Before moving your product, switch off the engine
and lock the saw chain using the chain brake. Carry
the product with the guide bar and saw chain
pointing backwards. Fit a transportation guard to the
guide bar before transporting the product or carrying
it for any distance.
• When you put the product on the ground, lock the
saw chain using the chain brake and ensure you
have a constant view of the product. Switch the
engine off before leaving your product for any length
of time.
• Sometimes chips get stuck in the clutch cover
causing the saw chain to jam. Always stop the
engine before cleaning.
• Running an engine in a confined or badly ventilated
area can result in death due to carbon monoxide
poisoning.
• Use the chain brake as a parking brake when you
start the product and when you move short
distances. Always carry the product in the front
handle. This decreases the risk that you or a person
near you get hit by the saw chain.

• 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.
