Check that the chain catcher is not damaged and is firmly 
attached to the body of the chain saw.

Check that the right hand guard is not damaged and that there 
are no visible defects, such as cracks.

Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or 
deformation.

Make sure the vibration damping units are securely attached 
to the engine unit and handle unit.

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you 
move the stop switch to the stop setting.

CAUTION! The stop switch automatically returns to the start 
position. In order to prevent unintentional starting, the spark 
plug cap must be removed from the spark plug when 
assembling, checking and/or performing maintenance. 

Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.

Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the 
machine.

Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor 
screen. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should 
clean the screen at least once a week. This is best done with 
a wire brush. A blocked screen will cause the engine to 
overheat and may lead to serious damage.

Note! The screen must be replaced if it is damaged. If the 
screen is blocked the machine will overheat and this will 
cause damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a 
machine with a muffler that is in poor condition. Never use a 
muffler if the spark arrestor screen is missing or 
defective.

The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct 
the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust gases 
are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire if 
directed against dry and combustible material.
