SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 
it cannot affect the movement of the front hand guard, the 
chain brake can only be activated by the inertia of the 
counterweight.
The inertia activated chain brake is a valuable feature but 
there are certain factors to remember (see point above).
 
Throttle lock
 
The throttle lock is designed to prevent accidental operation 
of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when 
you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B). When 
you release the handle the throttle control and the throttle lock 
both move back to their original positions. This movement is 
controlled by two independent return springs. This 
arrangement means that the throttle control is automatically 
locked at the idle setting.
 
Chain catcher
 
The chain catcher is designed to catch the chain if it snaps or 
jumps off. This should not happen if the chain is properly 
tensioned (see instructions under the heading Assembly) and 
if the bar and chain are properly serviced and maintained (see 
instructions under the heading General working instructions).
 
Right hand guard
 
Apart from protecting your hand if the chain jumps or snaps, 
the right hand guard stops branches and twigs from 
interfering with your grip on the rear handle.
 
Vibration damping system
 
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system 
that is designed to minimise vibration and make operation 
easier.
When you use a chain saw, vibration is generated by the 
uneven contact between the chain and the wood you are 
cutting.
Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates more 
vibration than cutting softwoods (most conifers). Cutting with 
cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty (wrong type or badly 
sharpened) will increase the vibration level. See instructions 
under the heading Cutting equipment.
The machine
 
 
s vibration damping system reduces the transfer 
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and 
the machine
 
 
s handle unit. The body of the chain saw, 
including the cutting equipment, is insulated from the handles 
by vibration damping units.
 
Stop switch
 
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.

WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can 
lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage 
in people who have impaired circulation. 
Contact your doctor if you experience 
symptoms of overexposure to vibration. 
Such symptoms include numbness, loss of 
feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of 
strength, changes in skin colour or 
condition. These symptoms normally appear 
in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk 
increases at low temperatures.
