hand. Never use the chain saw above your shoulder
level, because the manipulation is not safe on this level.
Only operate the chainsaw in well-ventilated areas.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mix-
ture.
Always carry and move the chain saw with the chain
stopped.
When transporting your chain saw, make sure the appro-

stopped.
Always carry the chain saw by the rear handle with the
muffler away from your body directed to the back.
During all maintenance works, such as chain saw re-
placement or transport of the unit, always stop the en-
gine.
If you do not use the unit, always cover the chain saw

tor. If any white-finger-illness symptoms should occur,
contact a physician.
