prevents unnecessary wear to the clutch, clutch drum and 
brake band.
Note! Reactivate the chain brake by pushing the front 
hand guard back towards the front handle. The chain saw 
is now ready for use.
Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all 
covers are fitted correctly. See instructions under the 
heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain attached 
to the chain saw the clutch can come loose and cause 
serious injury.
The chain brake should be activated when starting. 
Se instructions under the heading Start and stop. Do 
not drop start. This method is very dangerous 
because you may lose control of the saw.
Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can 
be dangerous if inhaled.
Observe your surroundings and make sure that there 
is no risk of people or animals coming into contact 
with the cutting equipment.
Always hold the saw with both hands. The right hand 
should be on the rear handle, and the left hand on the 
front handle. All people, whether right or left handed, 
should use this grip. Use a firm grip with thumbs and 
fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
Stopping

stop position.
!
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the 
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist 
and dust from sawdust can represent a 
health risk.
