Before using a new chain saw
WARNING! Never allow children to use or
be in the vicinity of the machine. As the
machine is equipped with a spring-
loaded 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 machine.This can
mean a risk of serious personal injury.
Therefore remove the spark plug cap
when the machine is not under close
supervision.

Machine s safety equipment
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.
Work is constantly in progress to improve the design and
technology - improvements that increase your safety and
efficiency. Visit your dealer regularly to see whether you
can benefit from new features that have been introduced.
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.
Personal protective equipment
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.
Chain brake and front hand guard
Your 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.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
•
The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually
(by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia
release mechanism.
•
The chain brake is released by moving the front hand
guard marked ”PULL BACK TO RESET” back,
towards the front handle.
The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is
pushed forwards.
•
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.
•
This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism
that tightens the brake band (C) around the engine
drive system (D) (clutch drum).
•
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.
•
The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate
the chain brake. Another important feature is that it
reduces the risk of your left hand hitting the chain if
you lose grip of the front handle.
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.
•
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. Do not leave the chain
saw switched on with the chain brake activated for long
periods. The chain saw can become very hot.
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
115 11 98-95 Rev.1 2009-01-20

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
of the front hand guard, the chain brake can only be
activated by the inertia action.
Throttle lockout
The throttle lockout 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 lockout both move back to their
original positions. This arrangement means that the
throttle control is automatically locked at the idle setting.
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.
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).
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.
Will my inertia activated chain brake
always activate during kickback in the
event of a kickback?
No. First your brake must be in working order.Testing the
brake is simple, see instructions under the heading
Checking, maintaining and servicing chain saw safety
equipment.We recommend you do before you begin each
work session. 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.
Right hand guard
Apart from protecting your hand if the chain jumps or
snaps, the right hand guard stops branches and twigs
from interfering with your grip on the rear handle.
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 too 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.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Vibration damping system
Muffler
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping
system that is designed to reduce vibration and make
operation easier.
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
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!
The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the
transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting
equipment and the machine′s handle unit.The body of the
chain saw, including the cutting equipment, is insulated
from the handles by vibration damping units.
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 screen.
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.
When fitting the mesh, make sure that the mesh is
inserted in the right position. If necessary, use the
combination spanner to insert or remove the mesh.
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! 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
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.
symptoms may be increased in cold
temperatures.

Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
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 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General rules
Cutting equipment designed to reduce
kickback
•
Only use cutting equipment recommended by us!
See instructions under the heading Technical data.
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.
!
•
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.
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
•
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.
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.
IMPORTANT! No saw chain design eliminates the
danger 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.
WARNING! Any contact with a rotating
saw chain can cause extremely serious
injuries.
!
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
Jonsered. See instructions under the heading Technical
Data for a list of replacement bar and chain combinations
we recommend.
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.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
Number of drive links. The number of drive links is
determined by the length of the bar, the chain pitch
and the number of teeth on the bar tip sprocket.
•
A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and
produces long, thick chips or shavings.
•
Bar groove width (inches/mm). The groove in the bar
must match the width of the chain drive links.
•
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.

reduction and cutting performance from your chain.
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.
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.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Sharpening cutting teeth
Adjustment of depth gauge setting
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.
•
•
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.
•
•
Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack
chain will move sideways, making it more difficult to
sharpen correctly.
•
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.
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 0.16 inch (4 mm) the
chain is worn out and should be replaced.
Tensioning the chain
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off
the bar and cause serious or even fatal
injury.
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.
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.
WARNING! The risk of kickback is
increased if the depth gauge setting is
too large!

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Checking chain lubrication
Lubricating cutting equipment
•
Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. See
instructions under the heading Lubricating the bar tip
sprocket.
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting
equipment may cause the chain to snap,
which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries.
!
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.
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.
If the chain lubrication is not working:
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.
•
•
•
Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.
Clean if necessary.
Filling with chain oil
•
All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models the oil flow is also
adjustable.
Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.
Clean if necessary.
•
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 lean 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).
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.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Chain drive sprocket
Bar
Check regularly:
The clutch drum is fitted with one of the following drive
sprockets:
•
Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar.
Remove these with a file if necessary.
A
Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the
drum)
B
Rim sprocket (replaceable)
•
•
Whether the groove in the bar has become badly
worn. Replace the bar if necessary.
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket.
Replace if wear is excessive. Replace the drive sprocket
whenever you replace the chain.
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.
Needle bearing lubrication
Both versions of sprockets have a needle bearing on the
drive shaft, which has to be greased regularly (once a
week).CAUTION! Use only high quality bearing grease or
engine oil.
•
To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over
regularly.
See instructions under the heading Maintenance, Needle
bearing lubrication.

FUEL HANDLING
Mixing ratio
Fuel
1:50 (2%) for all engines.
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.

Mixing
•
•
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.
•
•
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.
When working with continuous high revs (e.g.limbing)
a higher octane is recommended.
Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a
time.
Environment fuel
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.
Jonsered 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).
Chain oil
•
We recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with
good adhesion characteristics.
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 Jonsered 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 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 32°F (0°C) some oils become
too viscous.This can overload the oil pump and result
in damage to the oil pump components.
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
•
Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.

FUEL HANDLING
•
Move the machine at least 10 ft (3 m) from the
refuelling point before starting it.
Fueling
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.
•
Never start the machine:
1
If you have spilled fuel or chain oil on the machine.
Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to
evaporate.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly
so that any excess pressure is released
gently.
2
3
If you have spilled 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.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
refuelling.
If the machine is leaking fuel.Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
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.
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.
!
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 gas station.
•
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.
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.
•
Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
Activate the chain brake.
Fuel safety
•
Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Long-term storage
•
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling
or mixing fuel (gasoline and 2-stroke oil).
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.
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Push down the red choke control (4): As soon as the
engine fires which can be heard through a "puff" sound,
push down on the red choke control.
Starting and stopping
WARNING! Note the following before
starting:
Pull the starter handle (5): Keep on pulling the cord
powerfully until the engine starts.
!
The chain brake must be engaged when
the chain saw is started to reduce the
chance of contact with the moving chain
during starting.
Warm engine
Start position (1):The correct choke/start throttle setting
for warm starting is obtained by initially moving the choke
control by pulling the red control outward - upwards.
Never start a chain saw unless the bar,
chain and all covers are fitted correctly.
Otherwise the clutch can come loose and
cause personal injuries.
Air purge (2): Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly
until fuel fills the diaphragm (at least 6 times). The
diaphragm need not be completely filled.
Push down the red choke control (4): This inactivates
the choke, which is not needed when starting a warm
chain saw.However the movement of the start/stop switch
will have engaged a high idle, making warm starting
easier.
Place the machine on firm ground. Make
sure you have a secure footing and that
the chain cannot touch anything.
Keep people and animals well away from
the working area.
Pull the starter handle (5): Grip the front handle with
your left hand. Hold the chain saw on the ground by
placing your right foot through the rear handle.
Never wrap the starter cord around your
hand.
Starting
The chain brake should be activated when starting the
chain saw. Activate the chain brake by pushing the front
hand guard forwards.
Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull out the
starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the
starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly until the
engine fires.
Cold engine
As the chain brake is still engaged the speed of the engine
must be set to idling as soon as possible, this is achieved
by disengaging the throttle lock. Disengagement is done
by gently touching on the throttle trigger. This prevents
unnecessary wear to the clutch, clutch drum and brake
band. Allow the machine to idle a few seconds before
giving full throttle.
Start position (1): Set the start/stop switch in the choke
position by pulling the red control outward - upward.
Air purge (2): Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly
until fuel fills the diaphragm (at least 6 times). The
diaphragm need not be completely filled.

STARTING AND STOPPING
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and
do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully
extended. This can damage the machine.
•
Observe your surroundings and make sure that there
is no risk of people or animals coming into contact with
the cutting equipment.
Note! Pull the front hand guard towards the front
handle.The chain brake is now disengaged.Your saw
is ready for use.
•
Always hold the saw 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 chain saw handles.
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist
and dust from sawdust can represent a
health risk.
!
•
Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all
covers are fitted correctly. See instructions under the
heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain attached
to the chain saw the clutch can come loose and cause
serious injury.
•
The chain brake is released by moving the front hand
guard marked ”PULL BACK TO RESET” back,
towards the front handle.
Stopping
•
The chain brake should be activated when starting.Se
instructions under the heading Start and stop. Do not
drop start. This method is very dangerous because
you may lose control of the saw.
Stop the engine by pushing the start/stop switch down.
CAUTION! The start/stop switch automatically returns to
run position. To avoid involuntary start up, the spark plug
cap must always be removed from the spark plug when
the machine is unsupervised.
•
Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can
be dangerous if inhaled.

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.
Check that all parts of the chain saw are tightened
correctly and that they are not damaged or missing.
Check that the chain catcher is in place and not
damaged.
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.
10 Check the chain tension.
General working instructions
IMPORTANT!
This section describes basic safety rules for using a
chain saw. This information 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 chain saw dealer, service agent or
an experienced chain saw user. Do not attempt any task
that you are not sure you can handle!
Before using a chain saw you must understand the
effects of kickback and how to avoid them. See
instructions under the heading How to avoid kickback.
5
Take great care when cutting a tree that is under
tension. A tree that is under tension may spring back
to its normal position before or after being cut. If you
position yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the
wrong place the tree may hit you or the machine and
cause you to lose control. Both situations can cause
serious personal injury.
Before using a chain saw you must understand the
difference between cutting with the top and bottom
edges of the bar. See instructions under the headings
How to avoid kickback and Machine’s safety equipment.
Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under the heading Personal protective equipment.
24 – English
115 11 98-95 Rev.1 2009-01-20
WORKING TECHNIQUES
Have control over the workpiece. If the pieces you
intend to cut are small and light, they can jam in the
saw chain and be thrown towards you. Even if this
does not need to be a danger, you may be surprised
and lose control of the saw. Never saw stacked logs or
branches without first separating them. Only saw one
log or one piece at a time. Remove the cut pieces to
keep your working area safe.
6
Before moving your chain saw switch off the engine
and lock the chain using the chain brake. Carry the
chain saw with the bar and chain pointing backwards.
Fit a guard to the bar before transporting the chain
saw or carrying it for any distance.
7
When you put the chain saw on the ground, lock the
saw chain using the chain brake and ensure you have
a constant view of the machine. Switch the engine off
before leaving your chain saw for any length of time.
4
Never use the chain saw above shoulder height
and avoid cutting with the tip of the bar. Never use
the chain saw one-handed!
General rules
1
If you understand what kickback is and how it happens
then you can reduce or eliminate the element of
surprise. By being prepared you reduce the risk.
Kickback is usually quite mild, but it can sometimes be
very sudden and violent.
2
Always hold the chain saw firmly with your right hand
on the rear 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 chain saw
under control. Do not let go of the handles!
5
In order to keep control of your saw, always maintain
a firm foothold. Never work on a ladder, in a tree or on
any other insecure support.
3
Most kickback accidents happen during limbing. Make
sure you are standing firmly and that there is nothing in
the way that might make you trip or lose your balance.
Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the
kickback zone of the bar accidentally touches a
branch, nearby tree or some other object.
6
7
Always use a fast cutting speed, i.e. full throttle.
Take great care when you cut with the top edge of the
bar, i.e. when cutting from the underside of the object.
This is known as cutting with a pushing chain. The
chain tries to push the chain saw back towards the

WORKING TECHNIQUES
user. If the saw chain is jamming, the saw may be
Terms
pushed back at you.
Cutting = General term for cutting through wood.
Limbing = Cutting branches off a felled tree.
Splitting = When the object you are cutting breaks off
before the cut is complete.
There are five important factors you should consider
before making a cut:
1
Make sure the cutting equipment will not jam in the
cut.
8
Unless the user resists this pushing force there is a
risk that the chain saw will move so far backwards that
only the kickback zone of the bar is in contact with the
tree, which can lead to a kickback.
2
3
Make sure the object you are cutting will not split.
Cutting with the bottom edge of the bar, i.e. from the top
of the object downwards, is known as cutting with a
pulling chain. In this case the chain saw pulls itself
towards the tree and the front edge of the chain saw
body rests naturally on the trunk when cutting. Cutting
with a pulling chain gives the operator better control over
the chain saw and the position of the kickback zone.
Make sure the chain will not strike the ground or any
other object during or after cutting.
4
Is there a risk of kickback?
9
Follow the instructions on sharpening and maintaining
your bar and chain. When you replace the bar and
chain use only combinations that are recommended
by us. See instructions under the headings Cutting
equipment and Technical data.
5
Do the conditions and surrounding terrain affect how
safely you can stand and move about?
Two factors decide whether the chain will jam or the object
that you are cutting will split: the first is how the object is
supported before and after cutting, and the second is
whether it is in tension.
Basic cutting technique
WARNING! Never use a chain saw by
holding it with one hand. A chain saw is
not safely controlled with one hand.
Always have a secure, firm grip around
the handles with both hands.
!
In most cases you can avoid these problems by cutting in
two stages; from the top and from the bottom.You need to
support the object so that it will not trap the chain or split
during cutting.
General
IMPORTANT! If the chain jams in the cut: stop the
engine! Don’t try to pull the chain saw free. If you do you
may be injured by the chain when the chain saw
suddenly breaks free.Use a lever to open up the cut and
free the chain saw.
•
•
Always use full throttle when cutting!
Reduce the speed to idle after every cut (running the
engine for too long at full throttle without any load, i.e.
without any resistance from the chain during cutting,
can lead to serious engine damage).
•
•
Cutting from above = Cutting with a pulling chain.
Cutting from below = Cutting with pushing chain.
The following instructions describe how to handle the
common situations you are likely to encounter when using
a chain saw.
Cutting with a pushing chain increases the risk of
kickback. See instructions under the heading How to
avoid kickback.
26 – English
115 11 98-95 Rev.1 2009-01-20
WORKING TECHNIQUES
Limbing
Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.
When limbing thick branches you should use the same
approach as for cutting.
Cut difficult branches piece by piece.
2
1
The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk
that it will split.
3
Start by cutting from below (about 1/3 of the way through).
Finish by cutting from above so that the two cuts meet.
Cutting
WARNING! Never attempt to cut logs
while they are in a pile or when a couple
!
of logs are lying together. Such
procedures drastically increase the risk
of kickback which can result in a serious
or fatal injury.
The log is supported at both ends. There is a high risk
that the chain will jam.
If you have a pile of logs, each log you attempt to cut
should be removed from the pile, placed on a saw horse
or runners and cut individually.
Remove the cut pieces from the cutting area. By leaving
them in the cutting area, you increase the risk for
inadvertently getting a kickback, as well as increasing the
risk of losing your balance while working.
Start by cutting from above (about 1/3 of the way through).
Finish by cutting from below so that the two cuts meet.
The log is lying on the ground. There is little risk of the
chain jamming or the object splitting. However there is a
risk that the chain will touch the ground when you finish
the cut.
Tree felling technique
IMPORTANT! It takes a lot of experience to fell a tree.
Inexperienced users of chain saws should not fell trees.
Do not attempt any task beyond your experience level!
Safe distance
Cut all the way through the log from above. Avoid letting
the chain touch the ground as you finish the cut. Maintain
full throttle but be prepared for what might happen.
The safe distance between a tree that is to be felled and
anyone else working nearby is at least 2 1/2 tree lengths.
Make sure that no-one else is in this ”risk zone” before or
during felling.
If it is possible (can you turn the log?) stop cutting about
2/3 of the way through the log.
115 11 98-95 Rev.1 2009-01-20
English – 27
WORKING TECHNIQUES
Felling direction
Clearing the trunk and preparing your retreat
The aim is to fell the tree in a position where you can limb
and cross-cut the log as easily as possible.You want it to
fall in a location where you can stand and move about
safely.
Delimb the stem up to shoulder height. It is safer to work
from the top down and to have the tree between you and
the saw.
Once you have decided which way you want the tree to fall
you must judge which way the tree would fall naturally.
Several factors affect this:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Lean of the tree
Bend
Wind direction
Arrangement of branches
Weight of snow
Remove any undergrowth from the base of the tree and
check the area for obstacles (stones, branches, holes,
etc.) so that you have a clear path of retreat when the tree
starts to fall.Your path of retreat should be roughly 135
degrees away from the intended felling direction.
Obstacles within the reach of the tree: for example,
other trees, power lines, roads and buildings.
•
Look for signs of damage and rot in the stem, this
makes it more probably that the tree will break and
start to fall before you expect it to.

You may find you are forced to let the tree fall in its natural
direction because it is impossible or dangerous to try to
make it fall in the direction you first intended.
o
n
e
Another very important factor, which does not affect the
felling direction but does affect your safety, is to make sure
the tree has no damaged or dead branches that might
break off and hit you during felling.
Felling
WARNING! Unless you have special
training we advise you not to fell trees
with a diameter larger than the bar length
of your saw!
!
The main point to avoid is letting the tree fall onto another
tree. It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and
there is high accident risk. See instructions under the
heading Freeing a tree that has fallen badly.
Felling is done using three cuts. First you make the
directional cuts, which consist of the top cut and the
bottom cut, then you finish with the felling cut. By placing
these cuts correctly you can control the felling direction
very accurately.
Directional cuts
To make the directional cut you begin with the top cut.Aim
using to the saw’s felling direction mark (1) toward a goal
further forward in the terrain, where you would like the tree
to fall (2). Stand on the right-hand side of the tree, behind
the saw, and cut with a pull stroke.
IMPORTANT! During critical felling operations, hearing
protectors should be lifted immediately when sawing is
completed so that sounds and warning signals can be
heard.
28 – English
115 11 98-95 Rev.1 2009-01-20
WORKING TECHNIQUES
Next make the bottom cut so that it finishes exactly at the
end of the top cut.
All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling
hinge is too narrow or non-existent, or if the directional
cuts and felling cut are badly placed.
When the felling cut and directional cut are complete the
tree should start to fall by itself or with the aid of a felling
wedge or breaking bar.
The directional cuts should run 1/4 of the diameter
through the trunk and the angle between the top cut and
bottom cut should be 45°.
The line where the two cuts meet is called the directional
cut line. This line should be perfectly horizontal and at
right angles (90°) to the chosen felling direction.
We recommend that you use a bar that is longer than the
diameter of the tree, so that you can make the felling cut
and directional cuts with single cutting strokes. See
instructions under the heading Technical data section to
find out which lengths of bar are recommended for your
saw.
Felling cut
The felling cut is made from the opposite side of the tree
and it must be perfectly horizontal. Stand on the left side
of the tree and cut on the pull stroke.
Make the felling cut about 1.5-2 inches (3-5 cm) above the
bottom directional cut.
There are methods for felling trees with a diameter larger
than the bar length. However these methods involve a
much greater risk that the kickback zone of the bar will
come into contact with the tree.
Finish the felling cut parallel with the directional cut line so
that the distance between them is at least 1/10 of the
trunk diameter.The uncut section of the trunk is called the
felling hinge.
The felling hinge controls the direction that the tree falls in.

necessary to reduce the tension and make the tree or
branch break at the point of maximum tension.
Freeing a tree that has fallen badly
Freeing a ”trapped tree”
It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and there is
high accident risk.
Never try to fell the tree that is trapped.
Never cut straight through a tree or branch that is in
tension!
Never work in the risk zone of the hanging trapped tree.
If you must cut across tree/limb, make two to three cuts,
one inch apart, one to two inches deep.
Continue to cut deeper until tree/limb bends and tension
is released.
The safest method is to use a winch.

saw, bar and chain back at the user. If
this happens when the chain is moving it
can cause very serious, even fatal
injuries. It is vital you understand what
causes kickback and that you can avoid
it by taking care and using the right
working technique.
Cutting trees and branches that are in tension
Preparations:Work out which side is in tension and where
the point of maximum tension is (i.e. where it would break
if it was bent even more).
What is kickback?
The word kickback is used to describe the sudden
reaction that causes the chain saw and bar to jump off an
object when the upper quadrant of the tip of the bar,
known as the kickback zone, touches an object.
Decide which is the safest way to release the tension and
whether you are able to do it safely. In complicated
situations the only safe method is to put aside your chain
saw and use a winch.
General advice:
Position yourself so that you will be clear of the tree or
branch when the tension is released.
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the bar.
Normally the chain saw and bar are thrown backwards
and upwards towards the user. However, the chain saw
may move in a different direction depending on the way it
Make one or more cuts at or near the point of maximum
tension. Make as many cuts of sufficient depth as

Be extremely cautious and avoid
contacting the log, other limbs or objects
with the nose of the guide bar. Be
extremely cautious of limbs under
tension.They can spring back toward
you and cause loss of control resulting
in injury.
Make sure that you can stand and move about safely.
Work on the left side of the trunk. Work as close as
possible to the chain saw for maximum control.If possible,
let the weight of the chain saw rest on the trunk.
Keep the trunk between you and the chain saw as you
move along the trunk.

MAINTENANCE
General
Checking, maintaining and
servicing chain saw safety
equipment
The user must only carry out the maintenance and
service work described in this manual. More extensive
work must be carried out by an authorised service
workshop.
Note! All servicing and repair work on the machine
requires special training. This is especially true of the
machine′s safety equipment.If your machine fails any of
the checks described below we recommend you to
contact our servicing dealer.
Carburetor adjustment
Your Jonsered product has been designed and
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful
emissions.
Function
Chain brake and front hand guard
•
•
The carburetor governs the engine’s speed via the
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the
carburetor. The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct
adjustment is essential to get the best performance
from the machine.
Checking brake band wear
Brush off any wood dust, resin and dirt from the chain
brake and clutch drum.Dirt and wear can impair operation
of the brake.
The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle
speed. If the T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a
higher idle speed; turning it anti-clockwise gives a
lower idle speed.
Basic settings and running in
The basic carburetor settings are adjusted during testing
at the factory. Fine adjustment should be carried out by a
skilled technician.
Rec. idle speed: See the Technical data section.
Fine adjustment of the idling speed T
Adjust the idle speed with the T-screw. If it is necessary to
re-adjust, turn the T-screw clockwise while the engine is
running, until the chain starts to rotate.Then turn counter-
clockwise until the chain stops. A correctly adjusted idle
speed setting occurs when the engine runs smoothly in
every position. It should also be good margin to the rpm
when the chain starts to rotate.
Regularly check that the brake band is at least 0.024 inch
(0.6 mm) thick at its thinnest point.
Checking the front hand guard
Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and that
there are no visible defects such as cracks.
WARNING! Contact your servicing
dealer, if the idle speed setting cannot be
adjusted so that the chain stops at idle.
Do not use the chain saw until it has
been properly adjusted or repaired.
!
Correctly adjusted carburetor
Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make
sure it moves freely and that it is securely anchored to the
clutch cover.
When the carburetor is correctly adjusted the machine
accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles a
little at max.speed.It is also important that the chain does
not rotate at idle. If the L-jet is set too lean it may cause
starting difficulties and poor acceleration.If the H-jet is set
too lean the machine will have less power, poor
acceleration and could suffer damage to the engine.
32 – English
115 11 98-95 Rev.1 2009-01-20
MAINTENANCE
Checking the inertia brake release
Apply full throttle and activate the chain brake by tilting
your left wrist forward onto the front hand guard.Do not let
go of the front handle. The chain should stop
immediately.
With the engine turned off, hold the chain saw over a
stump or other firm object. Let go of the front handle so
that the bar drops towards the stump as the chain saw
rotates around the rear handle.
Throttle lockout
•
Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle
setting when the throttle lockout is released.
When the bar hits the stump the brake should be
applied.
•
Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to
its original position when you release it.
Checking the brake trigger
•
•
Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout
move freely and that the return springs work properly.
Place the chain saw on firm ground and start it.Make sure
the chain does not touch the ground or any other object.
See the instructions under the heading Start and stop.
Start the chain saw and apply full throttle. Release the
throttle control and check that the chain stops and
remains stationary. If the chain rotates when the
throttle control is in the idle position you should check
the carburetor idle adjustment.
Grasp the chain saw firmly, wrapping your fingers and
thumbs around the handles.

Chain catcher
Stop switch
Check that the chain catcher is not damaged and is firmly
attached to the body of the chain saw.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
CAUTION! The start/stop switch automatically returns to
run position. In order to prevent unintentional starting, the
spark plug cap must be removed from the spark plug
when assembling, checking and/or performing
maintenance.
Right hand guard
Muffler
Check that the right hand guard is not damaged and that
there are no visible defects, such as cracks.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Vibration damping system
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation.
Make sure the vibration damping units are securely
attached to the engine unit and handle unit.
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor
screen. If your machine has this type of muffler, you
should clean the screen at least once a week.This is best
done with a wire brush. A blocked screen will cause the
engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.
Note! The screen must be replaced if it is damaged. If the
screen is blocked the machine will overheat and this will
cause damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a

MAINTENANCE
Spark plug
Needle bearing lubrication
The clutch drum has a needle bearing on the output shaft.
This needle bearing must be lubricated regularly.
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
•
•
Incorrect carburetor adjustment.
When lubricating, remove the clutch cover by loosening
the two bar nuts. Lay the saw on its side with the clutch
drum upwards.
An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of
oil).
•
A dirty air filter.
Lubrication involves engine oil dripping into the centre of
the clutch drum as it rotates.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug
electrodes, which may result in operating problems and
starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first
before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty,
clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.020 inch (0.5
mm). The spark plug should be replaced after about a
month in operation or earlier if necessary.
Cooling system
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.
The cooling system consists of:
Note! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use
of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder.
Check that the spark plug is fitted with a suppressor.

Lubricate the bar tip sprocket each time you refuel. Use
the special grease gun and a good quality bearing grease.
Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the machine overheating which causes
damage to the piston and cylinder.

cleaning
Centrifugal cleaning means the following: All air to the
carburetor passes through the starter. Dirt and dust is
pushed out by the cooling fan.
For running the machine in cold weather or powder snow,
a special cover is available, which is mounted on the
starter housing. This reduces the intake of cold air and
prevents large amounts of snow from being sucked in.
IMPORTANT! In order to maintain operation of the
centrifugal cleaning system it must be regularly
maintained. Clean the air intake to the starter, the fins on
the flywheel, the space around the flywheel, inlet pipe and
carburetor compartment.
CAUTION! If the special winterising kit has been fitted or
any measures have been taken to increase the
temperature these changes must be reversed before the
machine is used in normal temperature conditions.
Otherwise there is a risk of overheating, resulting in
severe damage to the engine.

TECHNICAL DATA
Recommended original and replacement bar and chain combinations
Following is a list of recommended cutting equipment for the Jonsered chain saw models CS 2240 and CS 2240S. The
combinations of power head, bar and chain have been tested and found to be in accordance with the kickback and
vibration requirements of ANSI B175.1–2000.
The guide bar nose radius is determined by either the maximum number of teeth in the nose sprocket or the
corresponding maximum nose radius of a solid bar.
The following list is the chain saw manufacturers recommendations. There may be other combinations available, which
will also achieve kickback reduction.
As we are listing the maximum guide bar nose radius, you may use a guide bar with smaller nose radius than in our list.
For guide bars of the same length, all sprocket-nose guide bars of the same pitch and having the same number of
sprocket teeth may be considered to have equivalent kickback energy. A hard nose bar having the same length and nose
radius as a sprocket-nose bar may be considered to have equivalent or less kickback energy than the sprocket-nose bar.
Bar and chain combinations
Chain saw models Jonsered CS 2240 and CS 2240S met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1-2000
when tested with the combinations of bars and saw chains listed below. The saw chain Jonsered H30 is also classified
as a low kickback saw chain since it met the requirements for low kickback saw chain outlined in ANSI B175.1-2000.We
recommend to use only the listed combinations of bars and chains for chain saw models Jonsered CS 2240 and
CS 2240S. Other chain saw models may not meet the kickback requirements when equipped with the listed bar and
chain combinations.

AMERICAN STANDARD SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Other safety precautions
Safety precautions for chain saw
users
(ANSI B175.1-2000 Annex C)
WARNING! Do not operate a chain saw
with one hand! Serious injury to the
operator, helpers, bystanders or any
combination of these persons may result
from one-handed operation. A chain saw
is intended for two-handed use.
!
Kickback safety precautions
WARNING! Kickback may occur when the
nose or tip of the guide bar touches an
object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut.
!
Do not operate a chain saw when you are fatigued.
Use safety footwear; snug-fitting clothing, protective
gloves, and eye, hearing and head protection devices.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a
lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking
the guide bar up and back towards the
operator.
Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain saw at
least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling point before starting
the engine.
Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when
starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep bystanders
and animals out of the work area.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of
the guide bar may push the guide bar
rapidly back towards the operator.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area,
secure footing and a planned retreat path from the falling
tree.
Either of these reactions may cause you
to lose control of the saw which could
result in serious personal injury.
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when
the engine is running.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into your saw. As a chain
saw user, you should take several steps
to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw chain
is not contacting anything.
Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide
bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler away from
your body.
Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly
adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Be
sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle
control trigger is released.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce
or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents.
Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, the
right hand on the rear handle, and the left hand on the
front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip
with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain
control of the saw. Don’t let go.
Shut off the engine before setting the chain saw down.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and
saplings because slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for
springback so that you will not be struck when the tension
in the wood fibers is released.
Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free
from obstacles. Do not let the nose of the guide bar
contact a log, branch, or any other obstacle which could
be hit while you are operating the saw.
Keep handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.
Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you have
been specifically trained to do so.
Cut at high engine speeds.
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
Do not operate a chain saw above shoulder height.
Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the
operator’s/owner’s safety and maintenance instructions,
should be performed by competent chain saw service
personnel. (For example, if improper tools are used to
remove the flywheel or if an improper tool is used to hold
the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural
damage to the flywheel could occur and subsequently
cause the flywheel to burst.)
Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer or the equivalent.
When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate
guide bar guard.
