control.
Be careful when using the machine during stormy weather. Do not use the machine during lightning,
thunderstorms or in bad weather. Do not expose the tool to rain.
Do not use the tool in damp environment.
It is recommended to use the spiked bumper provided for cutting trees and thick branches.
Perform regular functional check of the clutch. It should be no have chain movement at idling speed.
When operating the tool, be careful of the emission of exhaust gases, lubrication oil mist and saw dust;
avoid being exposed to these and wear protective equipment.
Wear protective gloves when assembly, disassembly, sharpening chain tensioning and when handling
the guide bar.
Guide-bar and chain adjustments should be performed with the engine stopped (machine switched off).
Regularly check and test the chain brake.
Hazards may be encountered while using the saw, such as blockage of the saw chain, in order to reduce
hazards, follow the instruction for cutting operation; always check the condition of the tool, do not
start the chainsaw directly in the tree.
FUEL HANDLING
Be very careful when handling fuels. They are flammable and the vapors are explosive.
Use only an approved container.
Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel while the machine is on. Turn off the unit and allow the engine
and exhaust components to cool before refueling.
Do not smoke.
Never refuel inside a room.
Never store the tool and the fuel tray indoors where there is a naked flame, such as near a water
heater.
If fuel has spilled, do not attempt to start the machine, but rather move it away from the spill before
starting to use it. Clean any spills.
Replace and tighten the fuel tank cap after refueling.
Follow the instructions in this manual for filling the tool with fuel.
DURING MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Stop the tool and wait until it stops. Make sure all moving parts have come to a standstill.
Allow the machine to cool before performing inspection, adjustments, maintenance, servicing and
storage.
Store the tool where fuel vapor will not reach a flame or spark.
When transporting and storing, always place the tool in its transport guard and protective device on it.
CAUSES OF REBOUNDS AND PREVENTION BY THE OPERATOR
Bounce may occur when the spout or end of the chain guide touches an object, or when the wood
tightens and pinches the cutting chain in the cutting section.
The contact of the tip may in some cases cause a sudden reverse reaction by bouncing the chain guide
up and back towards the operator.
Pinching of the cutting chain on the upper part of the chain guide can force the chain guide to the
operator abruptly.
Either of these reactions can result in loss of control of the saw likely to result in a serious personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively on safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, all measures
should be taken to eliminate the risk of accident or injury during cutting.
Bounce results from improper use of the tool and / or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking the appropriate precautions specified below:
-
Hold the saw with both hands firmly with the thumbs and fingers encircling the handles of the saw
and place your body and arms to allow you to withstand the rebound forces. The rebound forces
