Safety information
6.2 Personal safety
• Never use only one hand when using the saw! Otherwise there is a risk that operating
staff, helpers or onlookers may get injured. A chainsaw has been designed for use with
both hands.
• Wear your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), consisting of: Cut-resistant shoes,
cut-protection trousers, hi-vis vest or jacket in signal colours, gloves and a helmet
with visor and hearing protection.
• When starting the chainsaw or cutting with it, no other people should be close to you.
Ensure onlookers and animals cannot get into the working environment.
• When the motor is running, all body parts must point away from the chainsaw.
6.3 Safety notices for handling flammable fuels
1. WARNING!: Petrol is easily flammable!
2. Store petrol in containers that have been designed specially for this purpose.
3. Refill with petrol when you are outdoors, and do not smoke.
4. Refill with petrol before starting the motor. Never remove the fuel tank filler cap or re-
fill with petrol while the motor is running or when it is still hot.
5. When fuel has been spilled, do not start the motor but remove the machine from the
area of the spilled fuel and avoid all ignition sources until all petrol fumes have dis-
persed. Put the cap back securely on the fuel tank and on the canister.
Refuelling
• Turn off the motor before refuelling.
m CAUTION! Always open the fuel filler cap carefully so the existing pressure can be
released slowly.
• High temperatures are generated on the casing during work. Before refuelling, allow
the machine to cool down fully.
m CAUTION! If the machine has not cooled down sufficiently, the fuel could ignite dur-
ing refuelling and cause severe burns.
• Ensure that the tank is not overfilled. If you spill any fuel, it has to be wiped away im-
mediately and the machine must be cleaned.
• Always close the screw plug on the fuel tank properly, so loosening is prevented from
vibrations during operation.
m DANGER
Never refuel the machine close to an open flame.
