2.8 General instructions
The workshop where chain saw repairs are to be
done must be equipped with safety equipment as
set out in local provisions.
No one may repair the chain saw unless they have
read and understood the content of this Workshop
Manual.
In this workshop manual the following boxes indi-
cate where caution should be taken.
2.9 Special instructions
The fuel that is used in a chainsaw poses the fol-
lowing hazards:
• The fuel and its fumes are toxic.
• May cause irritation to skin or eyes.
• May cause breathing difficulties.
• Highly flammable.
When using compressed air the air jet should
never be pointed at the body. Air can be forced into
the bloodstream and cause fatal injury.
Wear ear protection when testing saws.
After testing a saw do not touch the silencer until
it has cooled down. The silencer gets very hot and
you may burn yourself. Wear protective gloves
when working on the silencer.
The guide bar, chain and clutch cover (chain brake)
must be fitted before the saw is started. If not, the
clutch may come loose and cause injury.
Poor chain lubrication can result in failure of the
chain, which could cause serious or fatal injury.
Take care to ensure that the spring inside the
starter assembly does not fly out and cause injury.
Wear eye protection. If the spring is under
compression when the pulley is removed it could
fly out and cause injury.
Before removing the tensioning spring from the
chain brake, ensure that the brake is in the on
position, otherwise the spring may fly out and
cause injury.
After completing the repair the chain brake must be
tested, see “Chain brake – reassembly \ Operating
test”.
Always consider the fire risk. A chainsaw can
produce sparks that could start a fire.
Inspect the chain catcher and replace it if it is
damaged.
WARNING!
The warning text warns of the risk
of personal injury if the instruc-
tions are not followed.
NOTE!
The warning text warns of the risk of ma-
terial damage if the instructions are not
followed.
