Before using a new saw

Read the instructions carefully.

Check cutting equipment is correctly fitted and adjusted. See page 25.

Refuel and start the saw. Check the carburetor settings. See pages 26-29.

Do not use the saw until sufficient chain oil has reached the chain, see page 14.

IMPORTANT! If the carburetor mixture is too lean it greatly increases the risk of engine failure.

Poor maintenance of the air filter will cause carbon build-up on the spark plug and lead to difficult starting.

If the chain is badly adjusted it will cause increased wear or damage to the bar, drive sprocket and chain.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any nonroad engine repair establishment or individual.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 these instructions.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

MOST CHAIN SAW ACCIDENTS HAPPEN WHEN THE CHAIN TOUCHES THE OPERATOR. You must wear approved protective equipment whenever you use a chain saw. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your chain saw dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.

• PROTECTIVE HELMET

• HEARING PROTECTION

• PROTECTIVE GLASSES OR VISOR

• GLOVES WITH SAW PROTECTION

PROTECTIVE TROUSERS WITH SAW PROTECTION

BOOTS WITH SAW PROTECTION, STEEL

TOE-CAP AND NON-SLIP

SOLE

Generally clothes should be close-fitting without restricting your freedom of movement.

• ALWAYS HAVE A FIRST AID KIT NEARBY

CHAIN SAW SAFETY EQUIPMENT

This section explains the various safety features of the saw, how they work, and basic inspection and maintenance you should carry out to ensure safe operation. (See the ”What is what?” section to find out where these components are on Your saw).

NEVER USE A CHAIN SAW THAT HAS FAULTY SAFETY EQUIPMENT! Carry out the inspection, maintenance and service routines listed in this section.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1 Chain brake and front hand guard

YOUR chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is designed to stop the chain immediately if you get a kickback.

The chain brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only You can prevent them.

Take care when using your saw and make sure the kickback zone of the bar never touches any object.

1The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually (by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia release mechanism (a freeswinging pendulum). On most of our models the front hand guard acts as a counterweight in case of kickback.

The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is pushed forwards.

This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism that tightens the Brake Band (C) around the engine drive system (D) (Clutch Drum).

B

A

B

C

D

2The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate the chain brake. Another important safety feature is that it prevents the chain from hitting your left hand if you lose your grip on the front handle.

3a Starting

The chain brake should be activated when starting.

bYou can also use the chain brake as a temporary brake when you change position or if you put the saw down for a short time. You should also apply the chain brake manually if there is a risk of the chain accidentally hitting anyone or anything close by.

4To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard backwards, towards the front handle.

5As mentioned in section A, 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.

English – 5

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

6The way the chain brake is triggered, either manually or automatically, 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 will be activated by the movement of the counterweight (INERTIA ACTIVATED).

If the kickback is less violent or the kickback zone of the bar is closer to you the chain brake will be activated manually by the movement of your left hand.

7During felling your left

hand grasps the front handle in such a way that it cannot activate the front hand guard. In this position the chain brake can only be activated by the inertia action of the counterweight.

The inertia activated chain brake increases your safety but there are certain factors to remember (see point 6 above).

2 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 trigger (B).

When you release the handle the throttle trigger 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 when you release the handle.

A

B

3 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 section on ”Assembly”) and if the bar and chain are properly serviced and maintained.

(See section on ”General working instructions”).

4 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.

6 – English

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

5 Vibration damping system

Your chain saw is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimise vibrations and make operation easier.

When you use a chain saw vibrations are 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 a chain that is blunt or faulty (wrong type or badly sharpened, see section D) will increase the vibration level.

The vibration damping system reduces the vibrations transmitted from the engine and chain to the handles of the chain saw. The body of the saw, including the cutting equipment, is insulated from the handles by vibration damping units.

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. These 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.

6 Stop switch

Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.

7 Muffler

The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.

The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the saw indoors or near combustible material!

In areas with a hot, dry climate there is a high risk of forest fires. These areas are sometimes controlled by legislation and requirements that among other things the muffler must be equipped with an approved type of spark arrestor mesh.

For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your saw (see the section on

”Inspecting, maintaining and servicing chain saw safety equipment”).

The muffler gets very hot in use and remains so for a short time afterwards. DO NOT TOUCH THE MUFFLER IF IT IS HOT!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Inspecting, maintaining and servicing chain saw safety equipment

SPECIAL TRAINING IS REQUIRED to service and repair chain saws. This is especially true of chain saw safety equipment. If your chain saw fails any of the checks described below take it to your SERVICE AGENT.

When you buy any of our products we guarantee the availability of professional repairs and service. If the retailer who sells your saw is not a SERVICING DEALER, ask him for the address of your nearest SERVICE AGENT.

1 Chain brake and front hand guard

1 Checking brake band wear

Brush off any sawdust, resin and dirt from the chain brake and clutch drum. Dirt and wear can impair operation of the brake.

Regularly check that the brake band is at least 0.6 mm thick at its thinnest point.

2 Checking the front hand guard

A Make sure the

FRONT HAND GUARD is not damaged and that there are no visible defects such as cracks.

B Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make sure it runs freely and that it is securely anchored to the clutch cover.

3 Checking the inertia brake release

Hold the chain saw over a stump or other firm object. Let go of the front handle so that the bar falls onto the stump.

When the bar hits the stump the brake should be applied.

4 Checking the brake trigger

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

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

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

The chain should stop immediately.

1Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting when you release the throttle lock.

2Press the throttle lock and make sure it returns to its original position when you release it.

3Check that the throttle control and throttle lock move freely and that the return springs work properly.

4Start the 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 is on idle setting you should check the carburetor idle adjustment. See the section on ”Maintenance”.

3 Chain catcher

Check that the CHAIN CATCHER is not damaged and is firmly attached to the body of the saw.

4 Right hand guard

Check that the right hand guard is not damaged and that there are no visible defects, such as cracks.

5 Vibration damping system

Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation

Make sure the vibration damping units are securely attached to the engine unit and handles.

6 Stop switch

Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the stop switch to the stop setting.

English – 9

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

7 Muffler

Never use a chain saw that has a faulty muffler.

Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the chain saw.

If the muffler on your saw is fitted with a spark arrestor mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.

Never use a muffler if the spark arrestor mesh is missing or defective.

NEVER USE A CHAIN SAW WITH FAULTY SAFETY EQUIPMENT. CARRY OUT THE CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE MEASURES DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. IF YOUR CHAIN SAW FAILS ANY OF THESE CHECKS CONTACT YOUR SERVICE AGENT TO GET IT REPAIRED.

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 chain breaking or jumping.

Obtain maximum cutting performance.

Extend the life of cutting equipment.

The 5 basic rules

1 Only use cutting equipment recommended by us!

See the ”Technical data” section.

2Keep the chain cutting teeth properly sharpened! Follow our instructions and use the recommended file gauge. A damaged or badly sharpened chain increases the risk of accidents.

3 Maintain the correct raker clearance! Follow our instructions and use the recommended raker gauge. Too large a clearance increases the risk of kickback.

4Keep the chain properly

tesioned! If the chain is slack it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.

5Keep 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.

10 – English

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1Cutting equipment designed to minimise kickback

Faulty cutting equipment or the wrong combination of bar and chain increases the risk of kickback. Use only the bar and chain combinations recommended in the ”Technical data” section.

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 protection and keeping the chain sharp and well-maintained you can reduce the effects of kickback.

A Bar

The smaller the tip radius the smaller the kickback zone and the lower the chance of kickback.

B Saw chain

A saw chain is made up of a number of links, which are available in standard and low-kickback versions.

None

Standard Low-kickback

CUTTING LINK

DRIVE LINK

SIDE LINK

Combining these links in different ways gives different degrees of kickback reduction. In terms of kickback reduction alone, four different types of link are available.

Kickback reduction

Cutting link

Drive link

Side link

LOW

STANDARD

HIGH

EXTRA HIGH

C Some terms that describe the bar and chain

When the cutting equipment supplied with your saw becomes worn or damaged you will need to replace it. Use only the type of bar and chain recommended by us. See the ”Technical data” section to find out which equipment is recommended for your saw.

Bar

• LENGTH (inches/cm)

• NUMBER OF TEETH ON BAR TIP SPROCKET (T). Small number = small tip radius = low-kickback

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.

• BAR GROOVE WIDTH (inches/mm)

The groove in the bar must match the width of the chain drive links.

SAW CHAIN OIL HOLE AND HOLE FOR CHAIN

TENSIONER

The bar must be matched to the chain saw design.

Saw chain

• SAW CHAIN PITCH (=PITCH) (inches)

• DRIVE LINK WIDTH (mm/

inches)

• NUMBER OF DRIVE LINKS

• LEVEL OF KICKBACK REDUCTION

The level of kickback reduction offered by a chain is indicated by its model number.

See the ”Technical data” section to find the model numbers of chains that are recommended for use with your saw.
