Personal protective equipment
1. Wear safety helmet, protective goggles and
protective gloves to protect yourself from
flying debris or falling objects.
2. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using the machine.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.

the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
Wear ear protection such as ear muffs to pre-
3.
vent hearing loss.
4. Wear proper clothing and shoes for safe operation,
such as a work overall and sturdy, non-slip shoes.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
When handling the saw chain or adjusting the
5.
chain tension, wear protective gloves. Saw
chain can cut bare hands severely.
6. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
Work area safety
1. Keep the tool at least 15 m away from electric
lines and communication cables (including
any branches contacting them). Touching or
approaching high-voltage lines with the tool
can result in death or serious injury. Watch
power lines and electrical fences around the
work area before starting operation.
2. Operate the tool under good visibility and day-
light conditions only. Do not operate the tool in
darkness or fog.
3. During operation, never stand on an unstable
or slippery surface or a steep slope. During
the cold season, beware of ice and snow and
always ensure secure footing.
During operation, keep bystanders or animals
4.
at least 15 m away from the tool. Stop the tool
as soon as someone approaches.
5. When working with two or more people, keep a
distance of at least 15 m or more between each
other, and put a supervisor.
6. Before operation, examine the work area for
wire fences, walls, or other solid objects. They
can damage the saw chain.
7. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Preparation
1. Before assembling or adjusting the tool,
switch off the tool and remove the battery
cartridge or the spark plug cap.
2. Before handling the saw chain or adjusting the
chain tension, wear protective gloves.
3. Before starting the tool, inspect the tool for
damages, loose screws/nuts or improper
assembly. Sharpen blunt saw chain. If the saw
chain is bent or damaged, replace it. Check all
control levers and switches for easy action.
Clean and dry the grips and handles.
Never attempt to start the tool if the tool is
4.
damaged or not fully assembled. Otherwise
serious injury may result.
5. Adjust the shoulder harness to suit the opera-
tor's body size.

chain oil, if necessary.
Refueling
1. Stop the engine before refueling. Keep away
from open flames and sparks. Never smoke
during refueling. Otherwise fire and/or explosion
may result.
2. Refuel outdoors. Refueling in a closed room can
cause explosion of fuel vapor.
3. Avoid contact with fuel or engine oil. Do not
inhale fuel vapor. If fuel or oil spills, wipe it off
from the machine and/or ground immediately.
If fuel spills on your clothes, change it immedi-
ately to prevent it from catching fire.
4. After refueling, carefully tighten the fuel tank
cap and check for fuel leak. Move at least 3 m
(10 feet) away from the fueling source and site
before starting engine.
Only transport and store fuel in approved con-

tainers. Keep children away from the stored
fuel.
