Fuel handling instructions
The machine‘s engine is designed to run on fuel mixture which is highly combustible. Never
store fuel containers or refuel in the vicinity of naked flame, stove, electrical installations,
welding jobs or other sources of heat or fire which may lead to inflammation.
It is forbidden to smoke when operating the machine or refueling.
When refueling, make sure that the machine is turned off and there are no sources of naked
flame in its vicinity.
Should the machine be stained with fuel, use a dry cloth to remove the stains.
After refueling, please screw back the tank cap, bring the machine at least 3m away from the
refueling place and then start it up.
Before starting the engine
Please check the work area, subject to be cut and cutting direction. Remove any obstacles.
Never launch any jobs until the work area is clean, you have secured a stable position and
have planned an escape route from a falling tree.
Please be very careful and keep passers-by and domestic animals out of the work area at a
distance of at least 2.5 times the length of the subject being cut.
Please check the machine for damaged, worn or missing parts. Please never use the
machine if damaged, improperly adjusted or incomplete. Make sure the chain stops rotating
when the throttle lever is released.
Engine startup
Always hold the chainsaw with both hands. Take a firm grip on the handle. When operating
the machine, keep all your body parts well away from the machine.
Before starting the engine, please make sure that the saw chain does not contact any
unwanted subject.
Operation
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel stains.
Do not touch damper, spark plug or other metal parts of the engine while the machine is
running or immediately after it stops - this poses risk of burning or electric shock.
Please pay extreme attention to cutting thin twigs and small trunks since such fragile material
may be caught by the chain, flung against the operator and thus result in a loss of balance.
When cutting sprung branches, remember they may be flung forward once their tension is
released by cutting the wood fibers.
Please check and remove any dry branches that might be released from the falling tree.
Please make sure the machine is shut down before you put it away.
