equipment, is insulated from the handles by vibration
damping units.
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.
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.
Start/stop switch
Use the start/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.
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!
In areas with a hot, dry climate there is a high risk of
fires. These areas are sometimes subject to government
320 - 005 - 27.09.2017
rules requiring among other things the muffler must be
equipped with an approved type of spark arrestor mesh.
WARNING: 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. If a spark arrestor
screen is required in your area, never use
the saw without or with a broken spark
arrestor screen.

Fuel safety

WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when
refuelling or mixing fuel (petrol and two-stroke oil).
• Fuel and fuel vapour are highly flammable and can
cause serious injury when inhaled or allowed to
come in contact with the skin. For this reason
observe caution when handling fuel and make sure
there is adequate ventilation.
• Take care when handling fuel and chain oil. Be
aware of the risks of fire, explosion and those
associated with inhalation.
• 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.
• Never refuel the machine while the engine is
running.
