Before operate the product
1. Before using our products, please
read this manual carefully to understand
the proper use of your unit.
2. Never operate a chain saw when you
are fatigued, ill, or upset, or under the
influence of medication that may make
you drowsy, or if you are under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
3. Operate the chain saw only in well
ventilated areas. Never start or run the
engine inside a closed room or building.
Exhaust fumes contain dangerous
carbon monoxide.
4. Never cut in high wind, bad weather,
when visibility is poor or in very high or
low temperatures. Always check the
tree for dead branches which could fall
during the felling operation.
5. Use safety and slip-resistant footwear,
snug fitting clothing and eye, hearing
and head protection devices. Use the
anti-vibration(AV) glove.
It is believed that a condition called
Raynaud’s phenomenon, which affects
the fingers of certain individuals may be
brought about by exposure to vibration
and cold. Loss of color and numbness in
the fingers. The following precautions
are strongly recommended because the
minimum exposure which might trigger
the ailment is unknown.
Keep your body warm, especially the
head, neck, feet, ankles, hands and
wrists. Maintain good blood circulation
by performing vigorous arm exercises
during frequent work breaks and also by
not smoking. Keep the saw chain sharp
and the saw, including the AV system,
well maintained. A dull chain will
increase cutting time, and pressing a
dull chain through wood will increase
the vibrations transmitted to your hands.
A saw with loose components or with
damaged or worn AV buffers will also
tend to have higher vibration levels.
Limit the hours of operation.
All the above mentioned precautions do
not guarantee that you will not sustain
white finger disease or carpal tunnel
syndrome. Therefore, continual and
regular users should monitor closely the
condition of their hands fingers.
If any of the above symptoms appear,
seek medical advice immediately.
6. Always use caution when handling
fuel. Wipe up all spills and then move
the chain saw at least ten(10)feet
(three(3) m) from the fueling point
before starting the engine.
7. Eliminate all sources of sparks or
flame (ie. smoking, open flames, or
work that can cause sparks) in the areas
where fuel is mixed, poured, or stored.
Do not smoke while handling fuel or
while operating the chain saw.
8. Do not allow other persons to be near
the chain saw when starting the engine
