GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

English – 9

1153988-26 Rev.3 2012-03-09

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 saw 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.

Personal protective equipment

• 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

Generally clothes should be close-ﬁtting without

restr

icting your freedom of movement.

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

carr

ied out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not

carried out professionally. If you need further information

please contact your nearest service workshop.

Chain brake and front hand guard

Your 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.

Take care when using your saw and make sure the

kic

kback zone of the bar never touches any object.

• The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually

y your left hand) or automatically by the inertia

release mechanism.

(3)

• The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is

pushed forwards.

(3)

• This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism

that tightens the brake band (C) around the engine

drive system (D) (clutch drum).

(4)

• 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

w is started to prevent the saw chain from rotating.

• Use the chain brake as a ”parking brake” when

star

ting 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

bac

kwards, towards the front handle.

• Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most

kic

kbacks are minor and do not always activate the

chain brake. If this happens you should hold the chain

saw ﬁrmly and not let go.

• The way the chain brake is activated, either manually

or automatically b

y 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 y

ou the chain brake will be

activated manually by the movement of your left hand.

• 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.

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.

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.

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.
