7 FUEL SAFETY
(Refuelling, fuel mixture, storage.)
Fuel and fuel vapour are highly inflammable.
Take care when handling fuel and chain oil.
Keep away from naked flames and do not
breathe in fuel vapour.
• Never try to refuel the saw
while it is running.
• Make sure there is plenty of
ventilation when refuelling
or mixing fuel (2-stroke
mixture).
• Move the saw at least 3 m
from the refuelling point
before starting it.
• Never start the chain saw:
a) If you have spilt fuel or
chain oil on the saw.
Wipe off the spill and
allow remaining fuel to
evaporate.
b) If you spill fuel or chain
oil on yourself or your
clothes. Change your
clothes.
c) If there is a fuel leak.
Check regularly for
leaks from the
FUEL CAP and FUEL
LINES.
• Always store the chain saw and fuel away from any
sources of sparks or naked flames, e.g. machines, electric
motors, relays, switches, boilers, etc.
• Always store fuel in an approved container designed for
that purpose.
• For longer periods of storage or for transport of the saw,
the fuel and chain oil tanks should be emptied. Ask where
you can dispose of waste fuel and chain oil at your local
gasoline station.
8 Never use any accessories other than those recommended
in this manual. See the sections on
”Cutting equipment”
and ”Technical data”.
The risk of accident is increased if you use the
wrong cutting equipment or a chain that is not
sharpened correctly. Using the wrong combi-
nation of bar and chain can increase the risk
of accidents!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1 Chain saws are designed solely for cutting wood. The only
cutting equipment that can be used with this chain saw are
the combinations of bars and chains recommended in the
”Technical data” section.
2 Never use a chain saw if
you are tired, if you have
drunk alcohol, or if you
are taking medication that
affects your vision, your
judgement or your co-
ordination.
3 Always wear suitable safety clothing. See the section on
”Personal protective equipment”.
4 Never use a chain saw that has been modified in any way
from its original specification.
5 Never use a chain saw
that is faulty. Carry out
the regular checks,
maintenance and service
routines described in this
manual. Some
maintenance and service
measures must be carried
out by trained specialists.
See the section on
”Maintenance”.
6 STARTING
• Never start a chain saw
unless the bar, chain and
clutch cover are fitted
correctly. (See section on
”Assembly”).
• Never start a chain saw
indoors. Exhaust fumes can
be dangerous.
• Before starting the saw
make sure there are no
people or animals nearby
who might be put at risk.
• Place the saw on the
ground and hold the rear
handle down with your right
foot. Grasp the front handle
firmly using your left hand.
Make sure the chain saw is
