ODUCTION
Dear customer!
Cong
ratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition that dates back to 1689, when the
Swedish King Karl XI ordered the construction of a factory on the banks of the Huskvarna River, for production of muskets. The
location was logical, since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna River to create the water-powered plant. During over
300 years of continuous operation, the Husqvarna factory has produced a lot of different products, from wood stoves to modern
kitchen appliances, sewing machines, bicycles, motorcycles etc. In 1956, the first motor driven lawn mowers appeared, followed
by chain saws in 1959, and it is within this area Husqvarna is working today.
Today Husqvarna is one of the leading manufacturers in the world of forest and garden products, with quality as our highest priority.
We develop, manufacture and market high quality motor driven products for forestry and gardening as well as for building and
construction industry.
Your purchase gives you access to professional help with repairs and service whenever this may be necessary. If the retailer who
sells your machine is not one of our authorized dealers, ask for the address of your nearest servicing dealer.
It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this operator
s
manual as a valuable document. By following its
content (using, service, maintenance etc) the life span and the second-hand value
of the machine can be extended. If you ever lend or sell this machine, make sure that the borrower or buyer gets the operator
s
manual, so they will also know how to properly maintain and use it.
Thank you for using a Husqvarna product!

In this section the machine’
s safety features and their function
are explained. For inspection and maintenance see
instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and
servicing chain saw safety equipment. See instructions under
the heading, What is what?, to find where these parts are
located on your machine.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of
accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried
out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out
professionally. If you need further information please contact
your nearest servicing dealer.
Chain brake and fr
ont hand guard
Y
our chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is
designed to stop the chain if you get a kickback. The chain
brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you can prevent
them.
Take care when using your saw and make sure the kickback
zone of the bar never touches any object.
The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually (by
your left hand) or automatically by the inertia release
mechanism.
The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is
pushed forwards.
!
WARNING! Most chain saw accidents
happen when the chain touches the
operator. You must use approved personal
protective equipment whenever you use the
machine. Personal protective equipment
cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident
does happen. Ask your dealer for help in
choosing the right equipment.
IMPORTANT! Sparks can come from the muffler, the bar
and chain or other sources. Always have fire extinguishing
tools available if you should need them. Help prevent forest
fires.
!
WARNING! Never use a machine with
defective safety components. Safety
equipment must be inspected and
maintained. See instructions under the
heading Checking, maintaining and
servicing chain saw safety equipment. If
your machine does not pass all the checks,
take the saw to a servicing dealer for repair.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism that
tightens the brake band (C) around the engine drive
system (D) (clutch drum).
The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate the
chain brake. Another important feature is that it reduces
the risk of the chain hitting your left hand if you lose grip
of the front handle.
The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is
started to prevent the saw chain from rotating.
Use the chain brake as a ”parking brake” when starting
and when moving over short distances, to reduce the risk
of moving chain accidentally hitting your leg or anyone or
anything close by.
To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard
backwards, towards the front handle.
Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most kickbacks
are minor and do not always activate the chain brake. If
this happens you should hold the chain saw firmly and not
let go.
The way the chain brake is activated, either manually or
automatically by the inertia release mechanism, depends
on the force of the kickback and the position of the chain
saw in relation to the object that the kickback zone of the
bar strikes.
If you get a violent kickback while the kickback zone of the
bar is farthest away from you the chain brake is designed
to be activated by the inertia in the kickback direction.
If the kickback is less violent or the kickback zone of the
bar is closer to you the chain brake is designed to be
activated manually by the movement of your left hand.
In the felling position the left hand is in a position that
makes manual activation of the chain brake impossible.
With this type of grip, that is when the left hand is placed
so that it cannot affect the movement of the front hand
guard, the chain brake can only be activated by the inertia
action.
Will my hand always activate the chain
brake during a kickback?
No. It takes a certain force to move the hand guard forward. If
your hand only lightly touches the front guard or slips over it,
the force may not be enough to trigger the chain brake. You
should also maintain a firm grip of the chain saw handles
while working. If you do and experience a kickback, your hand
may never leave the front handle and will not activate the
chain brake, or the chain brake will only activate after the saw
has swung around a considerable distance. In such
instances, the chain brake might not have enough time to stop
the saw chain before it touches you.
There are also certain positions in which your hand cannot
reach the front hand guard to activate the chain brake; for
example, when the saw chain is held in felling position.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Will my inetria activated chain brake
always activate during kickback in the
event of a kickback?
No. First your brake must be in working order. Second the
kickback must be strong enough to activate the chain brake.
If the chain brake is too sensitive it would activate all the time
which would be a nuisance.
Will my chain brake always protect me
from injury in the event of a kickback?
No. First, the chain brake must be in working order to provide
the intended protection. Second, it must be activated during
the kickback as described above to stop the saw chain. Third,
the chain brake may be activated but if the bar is to close to
you the brake might not have enough time to slow down and
stop the chain before the chain saw hits you.
Only you and proper working technique can eliminate
kickback and its danger.
Throttle lock
The throttle lock is designed to prevent accidental operation
of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when
you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B).
When you release the handle the throttle control and the
throttle lock both move back to their original positions. This
arrangement means that the throttle control is automatically
locked at the idle setting.
Chain catcher
The chain catcher is designed to catch the chain if it snaps or
jumps off. This should not happen if the chain is properly
tensioned (see instructions under the heading Assembly) and
if the bar and chain are properly serviced and maintained
(see instructions under the heading General working
instructions).
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to reduce vibration and make operation
easier.
The machines vibration damping system reduces the transfer
of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and
the machines handle unit.
The body of the chain saw, including the cutting 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.
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
A
B
!
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.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
In areas with a hot, dry climate there is a high risk of fires.
These areas are sometimes subject to government rules
requiring among other things the muffler must be equipped
with an approved type of spark arrestor mesh.
Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
Reduce the risk of kickback.
Reduce the risk of the saw chain breaking or jumping off
the bar.
Obtain optimal cutting performance.
Extend the life of cutting equipment.
Avoid increasing vibration levels.
General rules
Only use cutting equipment recommended by us!
See instructions under the heading Technical data.
Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly sharpened!
Follow our instructions and use the recommended file
gauge.
A damaged or badly sharpened chain increases
the risk of accidents.
Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended depth gauge
clearance. Too large a clearance increases the risk of
kickback.
Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is slack
it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased wear on
the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly
maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is more likely to
break and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and
drive sprocket.
Cutting equipment designed to reduce
kickback
The only way to avoid kickback is to make sure that the
kickback zone of the bar never touches anything.
By using cutting equipment with ”built-in” kickback reduction
and keeping the chain sharp and well-maintained you can
reduce the effects of kickback.
Bar
The smaller the tip radius the lower the chance of kickback.
Chain
A chain is made up of a number of links, which are available
in standard and low-kickback versions.
Some terms that describe the bar and chain
To maintain the safety features of the cutting equipment, you
should replace a worn or damaged bar or chain with a bar and
chain combinations recommended by Husqvarna. See
instructions under the heading Technical Data for a list of
replacement bar and chain combinations we recommend.
!
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!
CAUTION! 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.
!
WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or the
wrong combination of bar and saw chain
increases the risk of kickback! Only use the
bar/saw chain combinations we recommend,
and follow the filing instructions. See
instructions under the heading Technical
data.
IMPORTANT! No saw chain design eliminates the danger
of kickback.
!
WARNING! Any contact with a rotating saw
chain can cause extremely serious injuries.

Sharpening your chain and adjusting
depth gauge setting
General information on sharpening cutting teeth
Never use a blunt chain. When the chain is blunt you have
to exert more pressure to force the bar through the wood
and the chips will be very small. If the chain is very blunt
it will produce wood powder and no chips or shavings.
A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and
produces long, thick chips or shavings.
The cutting part of the chain is called the cutter and
consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge (B).
The cutters cutting depth is determined by the difference
in height between the two (depth gauge setting).
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important
factors to remember.
1 Filing angle
2 Cutting angle
3 File position
4 Round file diameter
It is very difficult to sharpen a chain correctly without the right
equipment. We recommend that you use our file gauge. This
will help you obtain the maximum kickback reduction and
cutting performance from your chain.
See instructions under the heading Technical data for
information about sharpening your chain.
!
WARNING! Departure from the sharpening
instructions considerably increases the risk
of kickback.
12 – Canadian
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Sharpening cutting teeth
To sharpen cutting teeth you will need a round file and a file
gauge. See instructions under the heading Technical data for
information on the size of file and gauge that are
recommended for the chain fitted to your chain saw.
Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack chain
will move sideways, making it more difficult to sharpen
correctly.
Always file cutting teeth from the inside face. Reduce the
pressure on the return stroke. File all the teeth on one side
first, then turn the chain saw and file the teeth on the other
side.
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of
the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (0.16") the chain is
worn out and should be replaced.
General advice on adjusting depth gauge setting
When you sharpen the cutting tooth (A) the depth gauge
setting (C) will decrease. To maintain optimal cutting
performance the depth gauge (B) has to be filed down to
achieve the recommended depth gauge setting.
See instructions under the heading Technical data to find
the correct depth gauge setting for your particular chain.
Adjustment of depth gauge setting
The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before
adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend that
you adjust the depth gauge setting every third time you
sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This recommendation
assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not reduced
excessively.
You will need a flat file and a depth gauge tool. We
recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to acheive
the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the depth
gauge.
Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed
information regarding the use of the depth gauge tool, will
be found on the package for the depth gauge tool. Use the
flat file to file off the tip of the depth gauge that protrudes
through the depth gauge tool. The depth gauge setting is
correct when you no longer feel resistance as you draw
the file along the depth gauge tool.
Tensioning the chain
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the
slack.
Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A new
chain has a running-in period during which you should check
the tension more frequently.
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that
you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
Loosen the bar nut that holds the clutch cover and chain
brake. Use the combination spanner.
!
WARNING! The risk of kickback is increased
if the depth gauge setting is too large!
!
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off and
cause serious or even fatal injury.
Canadian – 13
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by tightening
the chain tensioning screw using the combination
spanner. Tighten the chain until it does not sag from the
underside of the bar.
Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nut while
holding up the tip of the bar. Check that you can pull the
saw chain round freely by hand, and that there is no slack
on the underside of the bar.
The position of the chain tensioning screw on our chain saws
varies from model to model. See instructions under the
heading What is what? to find out where it is on your model.
Lubricating cutting equipment
Chain oil
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and
also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of whether it
is warm summer or cold winter weather.
As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an optimal
chain oil which has a vegetable oil base. We recommend the
use of our own oil for both maximum chain life and to minimise
environmental damage. If our own chain oil is not available,
standard chain oil is recommended.
Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous to
you and damage the machine and environment.
Filling with chain oil
All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models the oil flow is also adjustable.
The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed so
that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil.
However, this safety feature requires that you use the right
sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out before the
fuel), and that you adjust the carburetor as recommended
(a weak mixture may mean that the fuel lasts longer than
the oil) and that you also use the recommended cutting
equipment (a bar that is too long will use more chain oil).
The above conditions also apply to chain saw models with
an adjustable oil pump.
Checking chain lubrication
Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. See
instructions under the heading Lubricating the bar tip
sprocket.
Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20
cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle
you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface.
If the chain lubrication is not working:
Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.
Clean if necessary.
Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.
Clean if necessary.
Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that the
lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked. Clean
and lubricate if necessary.
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after carrying
out the above checks and associated measures you should
contact your servicing dealer.
!
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting
equipment may cause the chain to snap,
which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries.
IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain oil,
dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw chain
before long-term storage. Otherwise there is a risk of the
saw chain oil oxidizing, which will result in the saw chain
becoming stiff and the bar tip sprocket jamming.
14 – Canadian
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Chain drive sprocket
The clutch drum is fitted with one of the following drive
sprockets:
A Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the drum)
B Rim sprocket (replaceable)
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket.
Replace if wear is excessive. Replace the drive sprocket
whenever you replace the chain.
Checking wear on cutting equipment
Check the chain daily for:
Visible cracks in rivets and links.
Whether the chain is stiff.
Whether rivets and links are badly worn.
Replace the saw chain if it exhibits any of the points above.
We recommend you compare the existing chain with a new
chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.
When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to only 4
mm (0,16 inch) the chain must be replaced.
Bar
Check regularly:
Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar. Remove
these with a file if necessary.
Whether the groove in the bar has become badly worn.
Replace the bar if necessary.
Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If a
hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is due to
running with a slack chain.
To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over daily.
!

ASSEMBLY
Fitting the bar and chain
Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by
moving the front hand guard towards the front handle.
Unscrew the bar nut and remove the clutch cover (chain
brake). Take off the transportation ring (A).
Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost
position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket locate it in
the groove on the bar. Begin on the top edge of the bar.
Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing
forward on the top edge of the bar.
Fit the clutch cover and locate the chain adjuster pin in the
hole in the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain fit
correctly over the drive sprocket and that the chain is correctly
located in the groove in the bar. Tighten the bar nuts finger
tight.
Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw
clockwise using the combination spanner. The chain should
be tensioned until it does not sag from the underside of the
bar. See instructions under the heading Tensioning the chain.
The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag from the
underside of the bar, but can still be turned easily by hand.
Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar nuts with the
combination spanner.
When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be checked
frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the chain tension
regularly. A correctly tensioned chain ensures good cutting
performance and long life.
!
WARNING! Always wear gloves, when
working with the chain.

FUEL HANDLING
Fuel
Note! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and
must always be run using a mixture of gasoline and two-
stroke oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of
oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained.
When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies
can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.
Gasoline
Use good quality unleaded gasoline.
CAUTION! Engines equipped with catalytic
converters must be run on unleaded fuel mixtures.
Leaded gasoline will destroy the catalytic converter and it
will no longer serve its purpose. The green fuel cap on
saws fitted with catalytic converters means that only
unleaded gasoline can be used.
The lowest recommended octane grade is 87
((RON+MON)/2). If you run the engine on a lower octane
grade than 87 so-called knocking can occur. This gives
rise to a high engine temperature and increased bearing
load, which can result in serious engine damage.
When working with continuous high revs (e.g. limbing) a
higher octane is recommended.
Environment fuel
HUSQVARNA recommends the use of alkylate fuel or
environmental fuel for four-stroke engines blended with two-
stroke oil as set out below. Note that carburetor adjustment
may be necessary when changing the type of fuel (see
instructions under the heading Carburetor).
Running-in
Avoid running at a too high speed for extended periods during
the first 10 hours.
Two-stroke oil
For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA two-
stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated for our air-
cooled two stroke-engines.
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled
engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil (rated
TCW).
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
Mixing ratio
1:50 (2%) for all engines.
Mixing
Always mix the gasoline and oil in a clean container
intended for fuel.
Always start by filling half the amount of the gasoline to be
used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the
fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of gasoline.
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the
machine’s fuel tank.
Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.
Chain oil
We recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with good
adhesion characteristics.
Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil
pump, the bar and the chain.
It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable
viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.
In temperatures below 0°C (32°F) some oils become too
viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result in
damage to the oil pump components.
Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.
!
WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate
ventilation when handling fuel.

FUEL HANDLING
Fueling
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and chain
oil tanks regularly. The fuel filter must be replaced at least
once a year. Contamination in the tanks causes malfunction.
Make sure the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container
before refuelling. The capacities of the chain oil tank and fuel
tank are carefully matched. You should therefore always fill
the chain oil tank and fuel tank at the same time.
Fuel safety
Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling or
mixing fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil).
Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point
before starting it.
Never start the machine:
1 If you have spilt fuel or chain oil on the machine. Wipe off
the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
2 If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes, change
your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in
contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
Always store the chain saw and fuel so that there is no risk
of leakages or fumes coming into contact with sparks or
naked flames from electrical equipment, electric motors,
relays/switches, boilers and the like.
Always store fuel in an approved container designed for
that purpose.
For longer periods of storage or for transport of the chain
saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be emptied. Ask
where you can dispose of waste fuel and chain oil at your
local petrol station.
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
The bar guard must always be fitted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is being transported or in
storage, in order to prevent accident contact with the
sharp chain. Even a non-moving chain can cause serious
cuts to yourself or persons you bump into with an exposed
chain.
Long-term storage
Empty the fuel/oil tanks in a well ventilated area. Store the fuel
in approved cans in a safe place. Fit the bar guard. Clean the
machine. See instructions under the heading Maintenance
schedule.
!
WARNING! Taking the following precautions,
will lessen the risk of fire:
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.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
!
WARNING! Fuel and fuel vapor are highly
flammable. Take care when handling fuel and
chain oil. Be aware of the risks of fire,
explosion and those associated with
inhalation.
!
WARNING! Never use a machine with visible
damage to the spark plug guard and ignition
cable. A risk of sparking arises, which can
cause a fire.

General working instructions
Tree maintenance work with a chain saw above ground level,
which may involve using a single-handed grip, should only be
carried out by persons with experience and training in:
tree maintenance
climbing techniques
safety precautions when climbing
additional safety equipment, such as harnesses, eyes,
straps, ropes, safety hooks and other fall-prevention
measures for personnel and chain saws.
During tree maintenance work above ground level the chain
saw must be secured. Secure the chain saw by attaching a
safety line to the fixing eye on the chain saw.
Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions under
the heading Personal protective equipment.
Basic safety rules
1 Look around you:
To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot
affect your control of the machine.
To make sure that none of the above might come within
reach of your saw or be injured by falling trees.
CAUTION! Follow the instructions above, but do not use a
chain saw in a situation where you cannot call for help in case
of an accident.
2 All tree maintenance work above ground level must be
carried out by two or more persons with the right training
(see instructions under the heading Important). At least
one person should be on the ground to carry out safe
rescue procedures and/or get help should an emergency
arise.
3 During tree maintenance work above ground level, the
working area should always be secured and marked out
with signs, tape or the like. The person(s) on the ground
should always inform the person(s) working above before
they enter the secure working area.
4 Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as
icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.
5 Take great care when removing small branches and avoid
cutting bushes (i.e. cutting many small branches at the
same time). Small branches can be grabbed by the chain
and thrown back at you, causing serious injury.
6 Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the area
around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches,
ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take
great care when working on sloping ground.
IMPORTANT!
