Place the chain saw on firm ground and start it. Make sure the 
chain does not touch the ground or any other object. See the 
instructions under the heading Start and stop.

Grasp the chain saw firmly, wrapping your fingers and thumbs 
around the handles.

Apply full throttle and activate the chain brake by tilting your 
left wrist forward onto the front hand guard. Do not let go of 
the front handle. The chain should stop immediately.

•

Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting 
when the throttle lockout is released.

•

Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its 
original position when you release it.

•

Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move 
freely and that the return springs work properly.

•

Start the chain saw and apply full throttle. Release the throttle 
control and check that the chain stops and remains stationary. 
If the chain rotates when the throttle control is in the idle 
position you should check the carburetor idle adjustment.

Check that the chain catcher is not damaged and is firmly 
attached to the body of the chain saw. Replace it if necessary 
with an aluminium chain catcher (is available as spare part).

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.
