• Observe your surroundings and make sure that there

is no risk of people or animals coming in contact with

or affect your control of the product.

• Never allow children to use or be in the vicinity of the

product. As the product is equipped with a spring-

loaded start/stop switch and can be started by low

speed and force on the starter handle, even small

children under some circumstances can produce the

force necessary to start the product. This can mean

a risk of serious personal injury. Therefore remove

the spark plug cap when the product is not under

close supervision.

• You must have a steady stance in order to have full

control of the product. Never work standing on a

ladder, in a tree or where you do not have a firm

ground to stand on.

(Fig. 18)

• Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the

kickback zone of the bar accidentally touches a

branch, nearby tree or some other object.

(Fig. 19)

• Never use the product by holding it with one hand.

This product is not safely controlled with one hand.

• Always hold the product with both hands. The right

hand should be on the rear 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 handles. This grip

minimizes the risk of kickback and lets you keep the

product under control. Do not let go of the handles!

(Fig. 20)

• Never use the product above shoulder height.

(Fig. 21)

• Do not use the product in a situation where you

cannot call for help in case of an accident.

• Before moving your product, switch off the engine

and lock the saw chain using the chain brake. Carry

the product with the guide bar and saw chain

pointing backwards. Fit a transportation guard to the

guide bar before transporting the product or carrying

it for any distance.

• When you put the product on the ground, lock the

saw chain using the chain brake and ensure you

have a constant view of the product. Switch the

engine off before leaving your product for any length

of time.

• Sometimes chips get stuck in the clutch cover

causing the saw chain to jam. Always stop the

engine before cleaning.

• Running an engine in a confined or badly ventilated

area can result in death due to carbon monoxide

poisoning.

• The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may

contain sparks which can start a fire. Do not start the

product indoors or near flammable material.

• Use the chain brake as a parking brake when you

start the product and when you move short

distances. Always carry the product in the front

handle. This decreases the risk that you or a person

near you get hit by the saw chain.

• 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.

• It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation

you can face when using this product. Always

exercise care and use your common sense. Avoid all

situations which you consider to be beyond your

capability. If you still feel uncertain about operating

procedures after reading these instructions, you

should consult an expert before continuing. Do not

hesitate to contact your dealer or Husqvarna if you

have any questions about the use of the product. We

will willingly be of service and provide you with

advice as well as help you to use your product both

efficiently and safely. Attend a training course in

chainsaw usage if possible. Your dealer, forestry

school or your library can provide information about

which training materials and courses are available.

Personal protective equipment

WARNING: Read the warning instructions

that follow before you use the product.

(Fig. 23)

• Most chainsaw accidents occur when the saw chain

touches the operator. You must use approved

personal protective equipment during operation.

Personal protective equipment does not give you full

protection from injuries but it decreases the degree

of injury if an accident occurs. Speak to your

servicing dealer for recommendations about which

equipment to use.

• Your clothing must be close-fitting but not limit your

movements. Regularly do a check of the condition of

the personal protective equipment.

• Use an approved protective helmet.

• Use approved hearing protection. Long-term

exposure to noise can result in permanent damage

to the hearing.

• Use protective glasses or a face visor to decrease

the risk of injury from thrown objects. The product

can throw objects, such as wood chips, small pieces

of wood and more, at large force. This can result in

serious injury, especially to the eyes.

• Use gloves with saw protection.

• Use pants with saw protection.

• Use boots with saw protection, steel toe-cap and

non-slip sole.
