WARNING
·
Before proceeding to your job, read
“SAFETY INSTRUCTION” and “SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS” sections. It is
recommended to first practice sawing easy
logs. This also helps you get accustomed to
your unit.
·
Always follow the safety regulations. The
chain saw must only be used for cutting
wood. It is forbidden to cut other types of
material. Vibrations and kickback vary with
different materials and the requirements of
the safety regulations would not be
respected. Do not use the chain saw as a
lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects.
Do not lock it over fixed stands. It is
forbidden to hitch tools or applications that
are not specified by the manufacturer.
·
It is not necessary to force the saw into the
cut. Apply only light pressure while running
the engine at full throttle.
·
When the saw chain is caught in the cut,
do not attempt to pull it out by force, but
use a wedge or a lever to open the way.
■GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK (F19)
·
It is extremely important that the chain
brake be checked for proper operation
before each use and that the chain be sharp
in order to maintain the kickback safety
level of this saw. Removal of the safety
devices, inadequate maintenance, or
incorrect replacement of the bar or chain
may increase the risk of serious personal
injury due to kickback.
■FELLING A TREE (F20)
1.Decide the felling direction considering
the wind, lean of the tree, location of heavy
branches, ease of job after felling and other
factors.
2.While clearing the area around the tree,
arrange a good foothold and retreat path.
3.Make a notch cut one-third of the way into
the tree on the felling side.
4.Make a felling cut from the opposite side
of the notch and at a level slightly higher
than the bottom of the notch.

bystanders or other workers away from the
danger zone.
When you fell a tree, be sure to warn your
neighboring workers of the danger.

(2) Felling cut
(3) Felling direction
■
Bucking and Limbing
·
Always ensure your foothold. Do not stand
on the log.
·
Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log.
Especially when working on a slope, stand
on the uphill side of the log.
·
Follow the instructions in “For Safe
Operation” to avoid kickback of the saw.
Before starting work, check the direction of
bending force inside the log to be cut.
Always finish cutting from the opposite
side of bending direction to prevent the
guide bar from being caught in the cut.

A Log lying on the ground (F20)
Saw down halfway, then roll the log over and
cut from the opposite side.
A Log hanging off the ground (F21)
In area A, saw up from the bottom one-third and
finish by sawing down from the top. In area B,
saw down from the top one-third and finish by
sawing up from the bottom.
Cutting Limb of Fallen Tree (F22)
First check to which side the limb is bent. Then
make the initial cut from the bent side and finish
by sawing from the opposite side.
WARNING
Be alert to the springing back of a cut limb.
Pruning of Standing Tree (F23)
Cut up from the bottom, finish down from the
top.
WARNING
Do not use an unstable foothold or ladder.
Do not overreach.
Do not cut above shoulder height.
Always use your both hands to grip the saw.

WARNING
Before cleaning, inspecting or repairing
your unit, make sure that engine has
stopped and is cool. Disconnect the spark
plug to prevent accidental starting.
MAINTENANCE AFTER EACH USE
1. Air filter
Dust on the cleaner surface can be
removed by tapping a corner of the cleaner
against a hard surface. To clean dirt in the
meshes, split the cleaner into halves and
brush in gasoline. When using compressed
air, blow from the inside. (F25)
To assemble the cleaner halves, press the
rim until it clicks.
NOTE
When installing the main filler, make sure
that the grooves on the filter edge are
correctly fit with the projections on the
cylinder cover.
2. Oiling port
Dismount the guide bar and check the
oiling port for clogging. (F26)
(1) Oiling port
3. Guide bar
When the guide bar is dismounted, remove
sawdust in the bar groove and the oiling
port. (F27)
Grease the nose sprocket from the feeding
port on the tip of the bar. (F28)

Check for fuel leakage and loose fastenings
and damage to major parts, especially
handle joints and guide bar mounting.. If
any defects are found, make sure to have
them repaired before operation again.
