Storage and transportation

Switch off the chainsaw before moving it any-
■
where, even short distances.
Engage the chain brake and put on the chain
guard.
Always use the chain guard for transportation
■
and storage (see fold-out page fig. J).
Protect the machine during transport (also in ve-
■
hicles) against tipping over to prevent fuel loss,
damage or injuries.
Carry the appliance by the front handle only. The
■
guide rail then faces to the rear, away from your
body (see fold-out page fig. J).
Hold the hot exhaust silencer away from your
■
body. There is a risk of burns!
Clean and maintain the chainsaw before storage.
■
Store the appliance in a secure and dry location.
■
Secure it against unauthorised access.

Environmental safety

National and/or local regulations may restrict
■
the use of noise-generating, motor-driven ap-
pliances during certain times. Ask at your local
authority.
Do not operate the appliance in confined spaces
■
or other poorly ventilated areas. Risk of suffoca-
tion from poisonous exhaust fumes/lubricating oil
vapours.
Work only in daylight.
■
Do not work in inopportune weather conditions,
■
such as rain or wind.
This will lead to an increased risk of accidents.
Keep work area clean and tidy.
■
Keep children, other people and animals at a
■
distance before and during the work. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
Before starting work, ensure that no people, ani-
■
mals or valuable property are inside the danger
zone.
Do not work in the vicinity of wire fences or areas
■
with loose old wire.
If you are working in a combustible environment,
■
e.g. on dry grass, have a fire extinguisher on
hand.
There is a risk of fire!

Adding fuel

Petrol is highly flammable! When filling the tank,
■
keep at a distance from open flames and do not
smoke. There is a risk of fire!
Ensure that you do not spill any petrol. Do not
■
allow petrol and chain oil to get into the soil.
Lay down suitable tarpaulins or similar.
Fill up the tank only in well-ventilated areas.
■
Petrol vapours are highly inflammable and can
explode.
Switch off the engine before refuelling and allow
■
the appliance to cool down. If you spill any petrol,
clean the affected area immediately.
Do not allow petrol to come into contact with your
clothing. If this happens, get changed immediately.
Avoid skin or eye contact with petrol or lubricants
■
(oil).
Do not inhale any petrol/lubricating oil vapours.
■
Check for leaks. If petrol leaks out, do not start
■
the engine.
There is a risk of burns.
Be careful when removing the petrol cap so that
■
any pressure can escape slowly and no petrol
sprays out.
