To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before operating this product.
· The information in this operator’s manual is never a substitute for professional skills and experience. If you get into a situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek expert advice. Contact your servicing dealer or an experienced chainsaw user. Do not attempt any task that you feel unsure of!
Safety instructions for operation
WARNING: Read the warning
instructions that follow before you use the product.
· 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.
· 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,

4

2334 – 001 – 05.12.2023

ropes, belts, climbing irons, snap hooks, carabiners, etcetera.
· Never attempt to catch falling sections. Never cut in the tree when you are only secured with one rope. Always use two secured ropes.
· During critical felling operations, hearing protectors should be lifted immediately when the sawing is completed so that sounds and warning signals can be heard.
· Before using this product you must understand the effects of kickback and how to avoid them. Refer to Kickback information on page 11 for instructions.
· Never use a product that is faulty. Carry out the safety checks, maintenance and service instructions described in this manual. Some maintenance and service measures must be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. Refer to Maintenance on page 17 for instructions.
· Never use the product with visible damage to the spark plug cap and ignition cable. A risk of sparking arises, which can cause a fire.
· Never use the product if you are fatigued, while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, medication or anything that could affect your vision, alertness, coordination or judgement.
· Do not use the product in bad weather such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etcetera. Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etcetera.
· Faulty cutting equipment or the wrong combination of guide bar and saw chain increases the risk of kickback! Only use the guide bar and saw chain combinations we recommend, and follow the filing instructions. Refer to Accessories on page 30 for instructions.
· Never start a product unless the guide bar, saw chain and all covers are fitted correctly. Refer to Assembly on page 9 for instructions. Without a guide bar and saw chain attached to the product the clutch can come loose and cause serious injury.

· Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the kickback zone of the bar accidentally touches a branch, nearby tree or some other object.
· Never use a chainsaw by holding it with one hand. A chainsaw is not safely controlled with one hand; you can cut yourself. Always have a secure, firm grip around the handles with both hands.
· Always hold the chainsaw firmly with your right hand on the top handle and your left hand on the front handle. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the handles. You should use this grip whether you are right handed or left handed. This grip minimizes the effect of kickback and lets you keep the chainsaw under control. Do not let go of the handles!
· Never use the chainsaw above shoulder height.

· Never start the product indoors. Exhaust fumes can be dangerous if inhaled.
· 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.
· Do not use the product in a situation where you cannot call for help in case of an accident.

· Sometimes chips get stuck in the clutch cover causing the saw chain to jam. Always stop the engine before cleaning.
· If the saw chain jams in the cut: stop the engine! · 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 a chainsaw. 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 chainsaw. We will willingly be of service and provide you with advice as well as help you to use your chainsaw 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.

· 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 approved protective glasses or a face visor to decrease the risk of injury from thrown objects.
