This top handle chainsaw is designed specifically for tree
surgery and maintenance in the tree. Due to the special
compact handle design (closely spaced handles), there is
an increased risk of losing control. For this reason these
special chainsaws should be used only for work in a tree
by persons who are trained in special cutting and working
techniques and who are properly secured (lift bucket,
ropes, safety harness). Regular chainsaws (with wider
spaced handles) are recommended for all other cutting
work at ground level.

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 service workshop.

W
ARNING! 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.
CA
UTION! Never use a chain saw by holding it with one
hand. A chain saw is not safely controlled with one hand;
you can cut yourself. Always have a secure, firm grip
around the handles with both hands.
IMPOR
TANT! 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.
!
W
ARNING! Working in a tree requires the
use of special cutting and working
techniques which must be observed in
order to reduce the increased risk of
personal injury. Never work in a tree
unless you have received specific,
professional training for such work,
including training in the use of safety
and other climbing equipment, such as
harnesses, ropes, belts, climbing irons,
snap hooks, carabiners, etc.
