Check working place, the cutting object and cutting direction. If there is obstacle,
remove it.
Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing and a planned
retreat path from the falling tree.
Use caution and keep bystanders and animals out of the working area whose diameter
is 2.5 times of the cutting object.
Inspect the machine for worn, loose, or damaged parts. Never operate the machine
that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled. Make
sure that the saw chain stops mowing when the throttle control trigger is released.
WHEN STARTINGTHE ENGINE
Always hold the machine firmly with both hands when the engine is running. Use a firm
grip with thumb and fingers encircling the handles.
Keep all parts of your body away from the machine when the engine running.
Before starting the engine, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.
OPERATION
Keep the handles dry clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.
Never touch the muffler, spark plug or other metallic parts of the engine while the
engine is in operation or immediately after stopping the engine. Doing so could result in
serious bums or electrical shock.
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 spring back to that you won't be
struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released
Check the tree for dead branches that could fall during the felling operation.
Always shut of the engine before setting it down
KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHAIN SAW USERS
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. Tip contact in some cases may
cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the
operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar
rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control
of the saw which could result in serious personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user
you should take several steps to keep cutting jobs free from accident or injury,
(1) With a basic understanding of kickback you can reduce or eliminate the element of
surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
(2) Keep a good 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.
