ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Read the instruction manual in order to familiarize
yourself with operation of the chain saw.
2. Before using the chain saw for the first time,
arrange to have instruction in its operation. If this
is not possible, at least practice cutting round tim-
ber on a trestle before beginning work.
3. The chain saw must not be used by children or
young persons under 18 years of age. Young per-
sons over 16 years of age may be exempted from
this restriction if they are undergoing training
under the supervision of an expert.
4. Working with the chain saw requires a high level

in this instruction manual. Do not, for example,
use it to trim hedges or for similar purposes.
