INTRODUCTION
Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition that dates back to 1689,
when the Swedish King Karl XI ordered the construction of a factory on the banks of the Husqvarna River, for production
of muskets. The location was logical, since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna River to create the water-
powered plant. During the more than 300 years of beeing, the Husqvarna factory has produced a lot of different products,
from wood stoves to modern kitchen appliances, sewing machines, bicycles, motorcycles etc. In 1956, the first motor
driven lawn mowers appeared, followed by chain saws in 1959, and it is within this area Husqvarna is working today.
Today Husqvarna is one of the leading manufacturers in the world of forest and garden products, with quality as our
highest priority. The business concept is to develop, manufacture and market motor driven products for forestry and
gardening as well as for building and construction industry. Husqvarna
s aim is also to be in the front edge according to
ergonomics, usability, security and environmental protection. That is the reason why we have developed many different
features to provide our products within these areas.
We are convinced that you will appreciate with great satisfaction the quality and performance of our product for a very
long time to come. The purchase of one of our products gives you access to professional help with repairs and service
whenever this may be necessary. If the retailer who sells your machine is not one of our authorised dealers, ask for the
address of your nearest service workshop.
It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this
operator
s manual as a valuable document. By following its
content (using, service, maintenance etc) the life span and
the second-hand value of the machine can be extended. If you will sell this machine, make sure that the buyer will get
the operator
s manual.
Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.
Husqvarna AB has a policy of continuous product development and therefore reserves the right to modify the design and
appearance of products without prior notice.

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.

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
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.
!
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.
CAUTION! 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.
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! 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.
!
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.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
8 – English
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
kickback zone of the bar never touches any object.
The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually
(by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia
release mechanism.
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).
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
saw is started to prevent the saw chain from rotating.
Use the chain brake as a ”parking brake” when
starting 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
backwards, towards the front handle.
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.
The way the chain brake is activated, either manually
or automatically by 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.
B
B
A
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
English
9
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.
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.
Will my hand always activate the chain
brake during a kickback?
No. It takes a certain force to move the hand guard forward.
If your hand only lightly touches the front guard or slips
over it, the force may not be enough to trigger the chain
brake. You should also maintain a firm grip of the chain saw
handles while working. If you do and experience a
kickback, your hand may never leave the front handle and
will not activate the chain brake, or the chain brake will only
activate after the saw has swung around a considerable
distance. In such instances, the chain brake might not have
enough time to stop the saw chain before it touches you.
There are also certain positions in which your hand cannot
reach the front hand guard to activate the chain brake; for
example, when the saw chain is held in felling position.
Will my inetria activated chain brake
always activate during kickback in the
event of a kickback?
No. First your brake must be in working order. Second the
kickback must be strong enough to activate the chain
brake. If the chain brake is too sensitive it would activate
all the time which would be a nuisance.
Will my chain brake always protect me
from injury in the event of a kickback?
No. First, the chain brake must be in working order to
provide the intended protection. Second, it must be
activated during the kickback as described above to stop
the saw chain. Third, the chain brake may be activated but
if the bar is too close to you the brake might not have
enough time to slow down and stop the chain before the
chain saw hits you.
Only you and proper working technique can eliminate
kickback and its danger.
Throttle lockout
The throttle lockout 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
control (B). When you release the handle the throttle
control and the throttle lockout both move back to their
original positions. This arrangement means that the
throttle control is automatically locked at the idle setting.
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 instructions under the heading
Assembly) and if the bar and chain are properly serviced
and maintained (see instructions under the heading
General working instructions).
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping
system that is designed to minimize vibration and make
operation easier.
The machine
s vibration damping system reduces the
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting
equipment and the machine
s handle unit. The body of the
chain saw, including the cutting equipment, is insulated
from the handles by vibration damping units.
A
B
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
10 – English
Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates more
vibration than cutting softwoods (most conifers). Cutting
with cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty (wrong type
or badly sharpened) will increase the vibration level.
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
In areas with a hot, dry climate there is a high risk of fires.
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 saw chain breaking or jumping
off the bar.
Obtain optimal cutting performance.
Extend the life of cutting equipment.
Avoid increasing vibration levels.
General rules
Only use cutting equipment recommended by us!
See instructions under the heading Technical data.
Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly
sharpened! Follow our instructions and use the
recommended file gauge.
A damaged or badly
sharpened chain increases the risk of accidents.
Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow
our instructions and use the recommended depth
gauge clearance.
Too large a clearance increases
the risk of kickback.
Keep the chain properly tensioned!
If the chain is
slack it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased
wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
Keep 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.
!
WARNING! 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. Such 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. These
symptoms may be increased in cold
temperatures.
!
WARNING! The exhaust fumes from the
engine are hot and may contain sparks
which can start a fire. Never start the
machine indoors or near combustible
material!
CAUTION! The muffler gets very hot during and after
use. This also applies during idling. Be aware of the fire
hazard, especially when working near flammable
substances and/or vapours.
!
WARNING! Never use a saw without a
muffler, or with a damaged muffler. A
damaged muffler may substantially
increase the noise level and the fire
hazard. Keep fire fighting equipment
handy.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
English
11
Cutting equipment designed to reduce
kickback
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
reduction and keeping the chain sharp and well-
maintained you can reduce the effects of kickback.
Bar
The smaller the tip radius the lower the chance of
kickback.
Chain
A chain is made up of a number of links, which are
available in standard and low-kickback versions.
Some terms that describe the bar and chain
To maintain the safety features of the cutting equipment,
you should replace a worn or damaged bar or chain with
a bar and chain combinations recommended by
Husqvarna. See instructions under the heading Technical
Data for a list of replacement bar and chain combinations
we recommend.
Bar
Length (inches/cm)
Number of teeth on bar tip sprocket (T).
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.
Chain oil hole and hole for chain tensioner. The bar
must be matched to the chain saw design.
Chain
Chain pitch (inches)
Drive link width (mm/inches)
Number of drive links.
Sharpening your chain and adjusting
depth gauge setting
General information on sharpening cutting teeth
Never use a blunt chain. When the chain is blunt you
have to exert more pressure to force the bar through
the wood and the chips will be very small. If the chain
is very blunt it will produce wood powder and no chips
or shavings.
A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and
produces long, thick chips or shavings.
!
WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or
the wrong combination of bar and saw
chain increases the risk of kickback!
Only use the bar/saw chain combinations
we recommend, and follow the filing
instructions. See instructions under the
heading Technical data.
IMPORTANT! No saw chain design eliminates the
danger of kickback.
!
WARNING! Any contact with a rotating
saw chain can cause extremely serious
injuries.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
12 – English
The cutting part of the chain is called the cutter and
consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge
(B). The cutters cutting depth is determined by the
difference in height between the two (depth gauge
setting).
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important
factors to remember.
1 Filing angle
2 Cutting angle
3 File position
4 Round file diameter
It is very difficult to sharpen a chain correctly without the
right equipment. We recommend that you use our file
gauge. This will help you obtain the maximum kickback
reduction and cutting performance from your chain.
See instructions under the heading Technical data for
information about sharpening your chain.
Sharpening cutting teeth
To sharpen cutting teeth you will need a round file and a
file gauge. See instructions under the heading Technical
data for information on the size of file and gauge that are
recommended for the chain fitted to your chain saw.
Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack
chain will move sideways, making it more difficult to
sharpen correctly.
Always file cutting teeth from the inside face. Reduce
the pressure on the return stroke. File all the teeth on
one side first, then turn the chain saw over and file the
teeth on the other side.
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length
of the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (0.16") the
chain is worn out and should be replaced.
General advice on adjusting depth gauge setting
When you sharpen the cutting tooth (A) the depth
gauge setting (C) will decrease. To maintain optimal
cutting performance the depth gauge (B) has to be
filed down to achieve the recommended depth gauge
setting. See instructions under the heading Technical
data to find the correct depth gauge setting for your
particular chain.
!
WARNING! Departure from the
sharpening instructions considerably
increases the risk of kickback.
!
WARNING! The risk of kickback is
increased if the depth gauge setting is
too large!
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
English 13
Adjustment of depth gauge setting
The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before
adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend
that you adjust the depth gauge setting every third
time you sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This
recommendation assumes that the length of the
cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.
You will need a flat file and a depth gauge tool. We
recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to
acheive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for
the depth gauge.
Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed
information regarding the use of the depth gauge tool,
will be found on the package for the depth gauge tool.
Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth gauge that
protrudes through the depth gauge tool. The depth
gauge setting is correct when you no longer feel
resistance as you draw the file along the depth gauge
tool.
Tensioning the chain
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up
the slack.
Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A
new chain has a running-in period during which you
should check the tension more frequently.
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight
that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
Loosen the bar nut that holds the clutch cover and
chain brake. Use the combination spanner.
Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by
tightening the chain tensioning screw using the
combination spanner. Tighten the chain until it does
not sag from the underside of the bar.
Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nut
while holding up the tip of the bar. Check that you can
pull the saw chain round freely by hand, and that there
is no slack on the underside of the bar.
The position of the chain tensioning screw on our chain
saws varies from model to model. See instructions under
the heading What is what? to find out where it is on your
model.
Lubricating cutting equipment
Chain oil
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain
and also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of
whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.
As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an
optimal chain oil which, with its vegetable oil base, is also
biodegradable. We recommend the use of our own oil for
both maximum chain life and to minimise environmental
damage. If our own chain oil is not available, standard
chain oil is recommended.
Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous
to you and damage the machine and environment.
!
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off
and cause serious or even fatal injury.
!
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting
equipment may cause the chain to snap,
which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries.
IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain
oil, dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw
chain before long-term storage. Otherwise there is a risk
of the saw chain oil oxidizing, which will result in the saw
chain becoming stiff and the bar tip sprocket jamming.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
14 – English
Filling with chain oil
All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models the oil flow is also
adjustable.
The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed
so that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil.
However, this safety feature requires that you use the
right sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out
before the fuel), and that you adjust the carburetor as
recommended (a lean mixture may mean that the fuel
lasts longer than the oil) and that you also use the
recommended cutting equipment (a bar that is too
long will use more chain oil).
Checking chain lubrication
Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. See
instructions under the heading Lubricating the bar tip
sprocket.
Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about
20 cm (8 inches) 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:
Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.
Clean if necessary.
Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.
Clean if necessary.
Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that
the lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked.
Clean and lubricate if necessary.
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after
carrying out the above checks and associated measures
you should contact your service agent.
Chain drive sprocket
The clutch drum is fitted with following drive sprockets:
A Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the
drum)
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket.
Replace if wear is excessive. Replace the drive sprocket
whenever you replace the chain.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
English 15
Checking wear on cutting equipment
Check the chain daily for:
Visible cracks in rivets and links.
Whether the chain is stiff.
Whether rivets and links are badly worn.
Replace the saw chain if it exhibits any of the points
above.
We recommend you compare the existing chain with a
new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.
When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to
only 4 mm the chain must be replaced.
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. Replace the bar if necessary.
Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If
a hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is
due to running with a slack chain.
To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over
daily.
!
WARNING! Most chain saw accidents
happen when the chain touches the
operator.
Wear personal protective equipment. See
instructions under the heading Personal
protective equipment.
Do not tackle any job that you feel you
are not adequately trained for. See
instructions under the headings
Personal protective equipment, How to
avoid kickback, Cutting equipment and
General working instructions.
Avoid situations where there is a risk of
kickback. See instructions under the
heading Machine
′′
s safety equipment.
Use the recommended protective
equipment and check its condition. See
instructions under the headings
Technical data and General safety
precautions.
Check that all the chain saw safety
features are working. See instructions
under the headings General working
instructions and General safety
precautions.
Never use a chain saw by holding it with
one hand. A chain saw is not safely
controlled with one hand. Always have a
secure, firm grip around the handles with
both hands.
ASSEMBLY
16 – English
Fitting the bar and chain
Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by
moving the front hand guard towards the front handle.
Unscrew the bar nut and remove the clutch cover (chain
brake). Take off the transportation guard.
Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost
position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket locate it
in the groove on the bar. Begin on the top edge of the bar.
Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing
forward on the top edge of the bar.
Fit the clutch cover and locate the chain adjuster pin in the
hole in the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain fit
correctly over the drive sprocket and that the chain is
correctly located in the groove in the bar. Tighten the bar
nuts finger tight.
Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw
clockwise using the combination spanner. The chain
should be tensioned until it does not sag from the
underside of the bar. See instructions under the heading
Tensioning the chain.
The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag from
the underside of the bar, but can still be turned easily by
hand. Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar nuts with the
combination spanner.
When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be
checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the
chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain
ensures good cutting performance and long life.
Fitting a spike bumper
Spike bumper is an option. To fit a spike bumper – contact
your service agent.

WARNING! Always wear gloves, when
working with the chain.
FUEL HANDLING
English 17
Fuel
Note! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine
and must always be run using a mixture of petrol and two-
stroke oil. It is important to accurately measure the
amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct
mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel,
even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of
the mixture.
Petrol
Use good quality unleaded or leaded petrol.
CAUTION! Engines equipped with catalytic
converters must be run on unleaded fuel
mixtures.
Leaded gasoline will destroy the catalytic converter
and it will no longer serve its purpose. The green fuel
cap on saws fitted with catalytic converters means
that only unleaded gasoline can be used.
The lowest recommended octane grade is 90 (RON).
If you run the engine on a lower octane grade than 90
so-called knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high
engine temperature and increased bearing load,
which can result in serious engine damage.
When working with continuous high revs (e.g. limbing)
a higher octane is recommended.
Environment fuel
HUSQVARNA recommends the use of alkylate fuel, either
Aspen two-stroke fuel or environmental fuel for four-stroke
engines blended with two-stroke oil as set out below. Note
that carburettor adjustment may be necessary when
changing the type of fuel (see the instructions under the
heading Carburettor).
Running-in
Avoid running at a too high speed for extended periods
during the first 10 hours.
Two-stroke oil
For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA
two-stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated for
our air-cooled two-stroke engines.
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled
engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil (rated
TCW).
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio may
jeopardise function and decrease the life time of
catalytic converters.
Mixing ratio
1:50 (2%) with HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil or JASO FC
or ISO EGC GRADE.
1:33 (3%) with oils class JASO FB or ISO EGB formulated
for air-cooled, two-stroke engines.
Mixing
Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container
intended for fuel.
Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to
be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake)
the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol.
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling
the machine’s fuel tank.
Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a
time.
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.
Chain oil
We recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with
good adhesion characteristics.
Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil
pump, the bar and the chain.
It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable
viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.
In temperatures below 0°C (32°F) some oils become
too viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result
in damage to the oil pump components.
Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.
!
WARNING! Always ensure there is
adequate ventilation when handling fuel.

FUEL HANDLING
18 – English
Fuelling
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and
chain oil tanks regularly. The fuel filter must be replaced
at least once a year. Contamination in the tanks causes
malfunction. Make sure the fuel is well mixed by shaking
the container before refuelling. The capacities of the chain
oil tank and fuel tank are carefully matched. You should
therefore always fill the chain oil tank and fuel tank at the
same time.
Fuel safety
Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling
or mixing fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil).
Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling
point before starting it.
Never start the machine:
1 If you have spilt fuel or chain oil on the machine. Wipe
off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
2 If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
Always store the chain saw and fuel so that there is no
risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames from electrical equipment,
electric motors, relays/switches, boilers and the like.
Always store fuel in an approved container designed
for that purpose.
For longer periods of storage or for transport of the
chain saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be
emptied. Ask where you can dispose of waste fuel and
chain oil at your local petrol station.
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
The bar guard must always be fitted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is being transported or
in storage, in order to prevent accident contact with
the sharp chain. Even a non-moving chain can cause
serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump into with
an exposed chain.
Long-term storage
Empty the fuel/oil tanks in a well ventilated area. Store the
fuel in approved cans in a safe place. Fit the bar guard.
Clean the machine. See instructions under the heading
Maintenance schedule.
!
WARNING! Taking the following
precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:
Do not smoke and do not place any hot
objects in the vicinity of fuel.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for
a few minutes before refuelling.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly
so that any excess pressure is released
gently.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
refuelling.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
!
WARNING! Fuel and fuel vapour are
highly flammable. Take care when
handling fuel and chain oil. Be aware of
the risks of fire, explosion and those
associated with inhalation.
!
WARNING! Never use a machine with
visible damage to the spark plug guard
and ignition cable. A risk of sparking
arises, which can cause a fire.
STARTING AND STOPPING
English 19
Starting and stopping
Cold engine
Starting: The chain brake must be engaged when the
chain saw is started. Activate the brake by moving the
front hand guard forwards.
Set the switch to ”I” position.
Primer bulb: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel
begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely
filled.
Ignition; choke: Pull the choke knob to the second-stage
position. The choke will close and the throttle lever will
then be set in the starting position.
Warm engine
Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine.
Starting
Grip the front handle with your left hand and push the
chain saw to the ground. Grip the starter handle with your
right hand and pull out the starter cord slowly until you feel
a resistance (as the starter pawls engage) and then pull
firmly and rapidly. Never twist the starter cord around
your hand.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
Push in the choke control as soon as the engine fires
which can be heard through a "puff" sound. Keep on
pulling the cord powerfully until the engine starts. When
!
WARNING! Note the following before
starting:
The chain brake must be engaged when
the chain saw is started to reduce the
chance of contact with the moving chain
during starting.
Never start a chain saw unless the bar,
chain and all covers are fitted correctly.
Otherwise the clutch can come loose and
cause personal injuries.
Place the machine on firm ground. Make
sure you have a secure footing and that
the chain cannot touch anything.
If you need to start the chain saw in the
tree, see instructions under the heading
Starting the saw in the tree, under the
section Working techniques.
Keep people and animals well away from
the working area.
STARTING AND STOPPING
20 – English
the engine starts, quickly apply full throttle; the throttle
start lock will automatically disengage.
Note! Reactivate the chain brake by pushing the front
hand guard back towards the front handle. The chain saw
is now ready for use.
Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
covers are fitted correctly. See instructions under the
heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain attached
to the chain saw the clutch can come loose and cause
serious injury.
The chain brake should be activated when starting. Se
instructions under the heading Start and stop. Do not
drop start. This method is very dangerous because
you may lose control of the saw.
Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can
be dangerous if inhaled.
Observe your surroundings and make sure that there
is no risk of people or animals coming into contact with
the cutting equipment.
Always hold the saw with both hands. The right hand
should be on the top handle, and the left hand on the
front handle. All people, whether right or left handed,
should use this grip. Use a firm grip with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
Stopping
The engine is stopped by pushing the stop switch to the
stop position.
IMPORTANT! As the chain brake is still engaged the
speed of the engine must be set to idling as soon as
possible, this is achieved by quickly disengaging the
throttle lock. This prevents unnecessary wear to the
clutch, clutch drum and brake band.
!
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist
and dust from sawdust can represent a
health risk.
