• Check that the cutting equipment is correctly fitted and
adjusted. See instructions under the heading Assembly.
• Refuel and start the chain saw. See the instructions under
the headings Fuel Handling and Starting and Stopping.
• Do not use the chain saw until sufficient chain oil has
reached the chain. See instructions under the heading
Lubricating cutting equipment.
• Long-term exposure to noise can result in permanent
hearing impairment. So always use approved hearing
protection.
ARNING! Under no circumstances may the
design of the machine be modified without
!
the permission of the manufacturer. Always
use genuine accessories. Non-authorized
modifications and/or accessories can result
in serious personal injury or the death of the
operator or others. Your warranty may not
cover damage or liability caused by the use
of non-authorized accessories or
replacement parts.
ARNING! A chain saw is a dangerous tool
if used carelessly or incorrectly and can
!
cause serious, even fatal injuries. It is very
important that you read and understand the
contents of this operator’s manual.
ARNING! The inside of the muffler contain
chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid
!
contact with these elements in the event of a
damaged muffler.
ARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and
!
dust from sawdust can represent a health
risk.
Impor tant
IMPOR TANT!
The machine is only designed for cutting wood.
You should only use the saw with the bar and chain
combinations we recommend in the chapter Technical data.
Never use the machine if you are fatigued, while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs, medication or anything that
could affect your vision, alertness, coordination or
judgement.
Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under the heading Personal protective equipment.

ARNING! The ignition system of this
machine produces an electromagnetic field
during operation. This field may under some
circumstances interfere with pacemakers. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we
recommend persons with pacemakers to
consult their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer before operating this machine.
Always use common sense
It is not possib le to cover every conceivable situation you can
face when using a chain saw. Always exercise care and use
your common sense. Avoid all situations which you consider
to be beyond your capability. If you still feel uncertain about
operating procedures after reading these instructions, you
should consult an expert before continuing. Do not hesitate to
contact your dealer or us if you have any questions about the
use of the chain saw. We will willingly be of service and
provide you with advice as well as help you to use your chain
saw both efficiently and safely. Attend a training course in

chain sa w usage if possible. Your dealer, forestry school or
your library can provide information about which training
materials and courses are available.
Work is constantly in progress to improve the design and
technology - improvements that increase your safety and
efficiency. Visit your dealer regularly to see whether you can
benefit from new features that have been introduced.
ersonal protective equipment
WARNING! Most chain saw accidents
happen when the chain touches the
!
operator. You must use approved personal
protective equipment whenever you use the
machine. Personal protective equipment
cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident
does happen. Ask your dealer for help in
choosing the right equipment.
Generally clothes should be close-fitting without restricting
your freedom of movement.
IMPORTANT! Sparks can come from the muffler, the bar
and chain or other sources. Always have fire extinguishing
tools available if you should need them. Help prevent forest
fires.
Mac hine ′ s safety equipment
In this section the machine’ s safety features and their function
are explained. For inspection and maintenance see
instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and
servicing chain saw safety equipment. See instructions under
the heading, What is what?, to find where these parts are
located on your machine.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of
accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried
out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out
professionally. If you need further information please contact
your nearest servicing dealer.
WARNING! Never use a machine with
defective safety components. Safety
!
equipment must be inspected and
maintained. See instructions under the
heading Checking, maintaining and
servicing chain saw safety equipment. If
your machine does not pass all the checks,
take the saw to a servicing dealer for repair.
Chain brake and fr ont hand guard
our chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is
designed to stop the chain if you get a kickback. The chain
brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you can prevent
them.
Approved protective helmet
• Hearing protection
• Protective goggles or a visor
• Gloves with saw protection
• Trousers with saw protection
• Boots with saw protection, steel toe-cap and non-slip sole
• Always have a first aid kit nearby.
• Fire Extinguisher and Shovel
Take care when using your saw and make sure the kickback
zone of the bar never touches any object.
• The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually (by
your left hand) or automatically by the inertia release
mechanism.
• The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is
pushed forwards.
B

A
English

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism that
tightens the brake band (C) around the engine drive
system (D) (clutch drum).
• The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate the
chain brake. Another important feature is that it reduces
the risk of your left hand hitting the chain if you lose grip
of the front handle.
• The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is
started to prevent the saw chain from rotating.
• The way the chain brake is activated, either manually or
automatically by the inertia release mechanism, depends
on the force of the kickback and the position of the chain
saw in relation to the object that the kickback zone of the
bar strikes.
If you get a violent kickback while the kickback zone of the
bar is farthest away from you the chain brake is designed
to be activated by the inertia in the kickback direction.
If the kickback is less violent or the kickback zone of the
bar is closer to you the chain brake is designed to be
activated manually by the movement of your left hand.
• Use the chain brake as a ”parking brake” when starting
and when moving over short distances, to reduce the risk
of moving chain accidentally hitting your leg or anyone or
anything close by.
• To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard
backwards, towards the front handle.
• Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most kickbacks
are minor and do not always activate the chain brake. If
this happens you should hold the chain saw firmly and not
let go.
• In the felling position the left hand is in a position that
makes manual activation of the chain brake impossible.
With this type of grip, that is when the left hand is placed
so that it cannot affect the movement of the front hand
guard, the chain brake can only be activated by the inertia
action.
Will my hand always activate the chain brake during a kickback?
No. It takes a certain force to move the hand guard forward. If
your hand only lightly touches the front guard or slips over it,
the force may not be enough to trigger the chain brake. You
should also maintain a firm grip of the chain saw handles
while working. If you do and experience a kickback, your hand
may never leave the front handle and will not activate the
chain brake, or the chain brake will only activate after the saw
has swung around a considerable distance. In such
instances, the chain brake might not have enough time to stop
the saw chain before it touches you.
There are also certain positions in which your hand cannot
reach the front hand guard to activate the chain brake; for
example, when the saw chain is held in felling position.
8 – English
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Will my inetria activated chain brake always activate during kickback in the event of a kickback?
No. First your brake must be in working order. Second the
kickback must be strong enough to activate the chain brake.
If the chain brake is too sensitive it would activate all the time
which would be a nuisance.
Will my chain brake always protect me from injury in the event of a kickback?
No. First, the chain brake must be in working order to provide
the intended protection. Second, it must be activated during
the kickback as described above to stop the saw chain. Third,
the chain brake may be activated but if the bar is too close to
you the brake might not have enough time to slow down and
stop the chain before the chain saw hits you.
Only you and proper working technique can eliminate
kickback and its danger.
Throttle lockout
The throttle lockout 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 lockout both move back to their original positions. This
arrangement means that the throttle control is automatically
locked at the idle setting.
A
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to reduce vibration and make operation
easier.
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.
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.
B
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).
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. These
symptoms may be increased in cold
temperatures.
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
WARNING! The exhaust fumes from the
engine are hot and may contain sparks
!
which can start a fire. Never start the
machine indoors or near combustible
material!
In areas with a hot, dry climate there is a high risk of fires.
These areas are sometimes subject to government rules
requiring among other things the muffler must be equipped
with an approved type of spark arrestor screen.
CAUTION! The muffler gets very hot during and after use.
This also applies during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,
especially when working near flammable substances and/
or vapours.
WARNING! Never use a saw without a
muffler, or with a damaged muffler. A
!
damaged muffler may substantially increase
the noise level and the fire hazard. Keep fire
fighting equipment handy. If a spark arrestor
screen is required in your area, never use
the saw without or with a broken spark
arrestor screen.
• Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended depth gauge
clearance. Too large a clearance increases the risk of
kickback.
• Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is slack
it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased wear on
the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
• Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly
maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is more likely to
break and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and
drive sprocket.
Cutting equipment designed to reduce kickback
WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or the
wrong combination of bar and saw chain
!
increases the risk of kickback! Only use the
bar/saw chain combinations we recommend,
and follow the filing instructions. See
instructions under the heading Technical
data.
Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
• Reduce the risk of kickback.
• Reduce the risk of the saw chain breaking or jumping off
the bar.
• Obtain optimal cutting performance.
• Extend the life of cutting equipment.
• Avoid increasing vibration levels.
General rules
• Only use cutting equipment recommended by us!
See instructions under the heading Technical data.
• Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly sharpened!
Follow our instructions and use the recommended file
gauge.
A damaged or badly sharpened chain increases
the risk of accidents.
The only way to avoid kickback is to make sure that the
kickback zone of the bar never touches anything.
By using cutting equipment with ”built-in” kickback reduction
and keeping the chain sharp and well-maintained you can
reduce the effects of kickback.
Bar
The smaller the tip radius the lower the chance of kickback.
Chain
A chain is made up of a number of links, which are available
in standard and low-kickback versions.
IMPORTANT! No saw chain design eliminates the danger
of kickback.
WARNING! Any contact with a rotating saw
chain can cause extremely serious injuries.
!
Some terms that describe the bar and chain
To maintain the safety features of the cutting equipment, you
should replace a worn or damaged bar or chain with a bar and
chain combinations recommended by Jonsered. See
instructions under the heading Technical Data for a list of
replacement bar and chain combinations we recommend.
10 – English
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Bar
• Length (inches/cm)
• Number of teeth on bar tip sprocket (T).
• Chain pitch (inches). The spacing between the drive links
of the chain must match the spacing of the teeth on the
bar tip sprocket and drive sprocket.
• Number of drive links. The number of drive links is
determined by the length of the bar, the chain pitch and
the number of teeth on the bar tip sprocket.
Sharpening your chain and adjusting depth gauge setting
General information on sharpening cutting teeth
• Never use a blunt chain. When the chain is blunt you have
to exert more pressure to force the bar through the wood
and the chips will be very small. If the chain is very blunt
it will produce wood powder and no chips or shavings.
• A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and
produces long, thick chips or shavings.
• The cutting part of the chain is called the cutter and
consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge (B).
The cutters cutting depth is determined by the difference
in height between the two (depth gauge setting).
• Bar groove width (inches/mm). The groove in the bar must
match the width of the chain drive links.
• Chain oil hole and hole for chain tensioner. The bar must
be matched to the chain saw design.
Chain
• Chain pitch (inches)
• Drive link width (mm/inches)
• Number of drive links.
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important
factors to remember.
1 Filing angle
2 Cutting angle
3 File position
4 Round file diameter
It is very difficult to sharpen a chain correctly without the right
equipment. We recommend that you use our file gauge. This
will help you obtain the maximum kickback reduction and
cutting performance from your chain.
See instructions under the heading Technical data for
information about sharpening your chain.
