English – 5 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2 The 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. 3 You can also use the chain brake as a temporary brake when you change position or if you put the saw down[...]

6 – English 6 The 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 activat[...]

English – 7 4 Vibration damping system Your chain saw is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimise vibrations in the handles and make operation easier.

English – 13 C General advice on setting raker clearance • When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the RAKER CLEARANCE (cutting depth). To maintain cutting performance you must file back the raker teeth to the recommended height. See the ”Technical data” section to find the raker clearance for your saw chain. • On a low-kickback cut[...]

English – 15 C Checking chain lubrication • Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. Aim the tip of the saw at a light coloured surface about 20 cm away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface. If the chain lubrication is not working: 1 Check that the oil channel in the bar is [...]

16 – English H Bar Check regularly: • Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar. Remove these with a file if necessary. • Whether the groove in the bar has become badly worn.

English – 17 General rules SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 6 Take great care when you cut with the top edge of the bar, i.e. when cutting from the underside of the object.
