• Make a wedge-shaped cut before felling the tree, then the felling cut
leaving a hinge for the felling direction.
• Beware of any falling branches after felling operations.
• Beware of wood splinters when cutting chopped wood.
• Ensure your chainsaw is suitable for the job.
• Never work above shoulder level or reach out to cut a branch: ensure you
have stable footing at all times.
• Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas include where there
is a risk of explosion of petrol fumes, leaking gas or explosive dust.
• Do not operate in a confined area. Exhaust gases, smoke or fumes could
reach dangerous concentrations.
• Protect your tool. This chainsaw is NOT WEATHERPROOF and should not
be left stored for periods of time where it is exposed to direct sunlight,
high ambient temperature and damp, wet or high humidity conditions.
• Take care not to spill fuel. When refuelling the chainsaw ensure that the
motor has been switched off. Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also
ignite with the hot motor. Never refuel whilst the engine is running.
• Be careful where you store the chainsaw. Store the tool in a dry area away
from flammable liquids.
• Ensure you keep a safe distance from bystanders. The chainsaw emits
exhaust fumes.
• Operating instructions and instructions for common cutting tasks,
including the use of personal protection equipment, the need for
adequate training and the risks involved when operating the unit should
not be undertaken while tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol or
other drugs.
NOTE: Tree felling should not be attempted by un-trained operators.
Ensure you are familiar with the instructions in the manual before
undertaking this task.
• Ensure you use a good quality 4 stroke oil. Do NOT mix oil and fuel.
We recommend ALDI GARDENLINE® Synthetic 4 Stroke Oil.
• Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or
hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.
Kickback safety precautions
• Kickback may occur when the tip of the guide bar touches an object, or
when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain.
• If the bar tip or point contacts, it can produce a rapid reverse reaction,
kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator. This is known as
rotational kickback.
• Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the
guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. This is known as pinch
kickback.
• Either of these reactions can cause loss of control of the saw, resulting in
serious personal injury.
• Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into your saw. Take the
following steps to help avoid accident or injury:
• Reduce the element of surprise by understanding what causes kickback.
• Keep a firm grip on the chainsaw using both hands, the right hand on
the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle when the motor is
running. A firm grip will help maintain control. Do not let go whilst the
motor is running.
• Make sure that the area of operation is free of obstructions. Do not let
the point of the guide bar contact a log, branch or any other object.
• Use high speeds when cutting.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
• Carefully follow the sharpening and maintenance instructions given in
this manual.
• Use only replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer.
DANGER! BEWARE OF KICKBACK!
WARNING! Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the
chainsaw and result in serious or fatal injury to the saw operator or
to anyone standing close by. Always be alert. Rotational kickback
and pinch kickback are major chainsaw operational dangers and the
leading cause of most accidents.
Wear hearing protection, eye protection and headwear protection.
Wear safety footwear.
Wear safety gloves.
