SAWING 

 

 

Before proceeding to your job, read “Safe Operation” section. 
It is recommended to first practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you get 
accustomed to your chainsaw. 
Always follow all the safety regulations applicable to this machine. 
The chainsaw 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 to the P.T.O. 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. It is recommended that the user carries out 
a daily inspection before use, after dropping or other impacts to identify 
significant damage or defects. 
Racing the engine with the chain seized in a cutaway can damage the clutch 
system. 
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 cut. 

 

7.1.

 

Guarding against Kickback. 

 

7.1.1.

 

This saw is also equipped with a chain brake that will stop the chain in the event of kickback 

if operating properly. 

7.1.2.

 

You must check the chain brake operation before each usage by running the saw at full 

throttle for 1 or 2 seconds and pushing the front hand guard forward. 

7.1.3.

 

The chain should stop immediately with the engine at full speed. If the chain is slow to stop 

or does not stop then replace the brake band and clutch drum before use. 

7.1.4.

 

It is extremely important that the chain brake is checked for proper operation before each 

use and that the chain is sharp in order to maintain the kickback safety level of this saw. 

7.1.5.

 

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.
