Always secure the chainsaw during
transport so that it cannot move, cause
injury or damage property.
Check for fuel leaks during transport or
storage.
Always clean the chainsaw before
storage.
Remember that the noise of the chain-
saw can prevent you from hearing
warnings or other sounds. Be aware
of your surroundings while using the
chainsaw.
Safety directions for handling fuel
The engine uses a 1:40 oil/petrol mix-
ture. Never use pure leaded petrol, die-
sel or other fuels. Mix only two-stroke
oil for chain saws into the petrol.
Mix the fuel in a suitable container.
Ensure the petrol and oil are well mixed
before filling.
Mix and add the fuel in a well-ventilated
area.
Never refill the fuel or chain oil while
the engine is running or hot, as it may
cause fire hazard.
Always wait until it has cooled down.
Smoking and the use of a naked flame
while fuelling or using the chainsaw are
forbidden.
Never refill with fuel in an enclosed
space. Always refill fuel outdoors.
Do not overfill fuel or chain oil, as this
can cause a risk of fire.
Clean up any spilt fuel with a dry cloth
after refuelling.
Check that the fuel cover is tightly
closed, as fuel leaks can cause a fire
hazard.
After refilling, the chainsaw must be
started at a distance of at least 3 metres
from the fuel container or refilling
location.
Fuel should be stored out of the reach
of children in a clearly marked and
approved container.
Safety directions for area of applica-
tion
For outdoor use only.
The exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide and hydrocarbons that are
highly dangerous to humans and ani-
mals if inhaled.
Never use in high winds or heavy rain
or in poor visibility.
Only use the chainsaw in daylight.
Never use the chainsaw when standing
on a ladder or similar and do not climb
trees whilst carrying the chainsaw, un-
less you are specially trained to do so.
Always ensure you are standing firmly
and safely on the ground.
Watch your footing when using the
chainsaw. Sawn branches on the
ground represent a safety risk if you trip
over them while sawing.
Plan what you are going to do before
starting work. Check that you and
others will not be hit by falling branches
or similar.
The engine parts become hot when in
use. Avoid touching them and do not
put the chainsaw down on inflamma-
ble materials (dry grass, dry leaves etc.)
whilst the engine is hot.
Store flammable materials at a safe dis-
tance from the engine, as the exhaust
gases are very hot and could ignite such
materials.
