Inspect the machine for worn, loose, or damaged parts.
Never operate the machine that is damaged, improperly
adjusted, is incomplete or not securely assembled. Make
sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle
control trigger is released.
• Make sure the saw chain is not in contact with anything
while it is in idle mode.
AFTER STARTING THE 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 is running.
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 stop-
ping the engine. Doing so could result in
serious burns 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.
• Operating this chainsaw with the use of apparatus to gain
height is extremely dangerous and requires specific, pro-
fessional training for such work.
• Never work on a ladder, or any other support that is inse-
cure.
• When cutting a tree limb that is under tension, be alert for
spring back so that you won’t be struck when the tension
in the wood fibres is released
• Check the tree for dead branches that could fall during the
felling operation.
• Always shut off the engine before setting it down.
• Parts of the chainsaw get very hot. Do not sit the chain-
saw on any combustible material that could cause a fire.
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. 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 or fatal 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 kick
back and maintain control of the saw.
3. Make certain that the area in which you are cutting is
free from obstructions Do not let the nose of the
guide bar contact a log, branch, or any other
obstruction which could be hit while you are operat-
ing the saw.
4. Cut at a high engine speed.
5. Do not overreach or cut above shoul-
der height.
6. Follow manufactures sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw
chain
7. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by
the manufacturer or the specified equivalent.
