hold the flywheel when servicing the clutch, structural damage to
the flywheel can occur and cause the flywheel to burst.

restricted days. It is not recommended to use your chainsaw when
a total fire ban is in force. Never refuel your chainsaw while it is
still running. As a precaution it is recommended that an expert is
consulted on obtaining and using a suitable fire extinguisher.

Always ensure that your chainsaw has cooled, about one
(1) hour, before cleaning and storing. When cleaning your
chainsaw use only a damp soft cloth. NEVER use liquid or
solvents of any type.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
Before using the chainsaw it should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function.
Check for broken or missing parts and have them replaced or
repaired at an authorised service facility. Check any other condition
that may affect the operation of the chainsaw. A guard or any other
part of the chainsaw that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorised service agent unless otherwise
indicated in this instruction manual.

authorised service agent.
DO NOT use the chainsaw if the ‘ON / OFF’ motor switch does
not turn the chainsaw ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’.
DO NOT use the chainsaw if the chain brake does not operate
correctly.
Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged, improperly
adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Always
replace bar, chain, hand guard or chain brake immediately if it
becomes damaged, broken or is otherwise removed.

Beware many of the components will get hot during use. Never
touch any of the metal pipes, pump or motor as these may burn.
