Sawing
Warning: Before proceeding to your job, read “For Safe Operation ” section it is recommended to first practice sawing easy
logs. This also helps you get accustomed to your unit.
Always follow they safety regulations. The chain saw 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.
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 way.
Guard against kickback (F21)
It is extremely important that the chain brake be checked for proper operation before each use and that the chain be sharp in
order to maintain the kickback safety level of this saw. Removal of the safety devices, inadequate maintenance, or incorrect
replacement of the bar of chain may increase the risk to serious personal injury due to kickback.
Warning: Do not use an unstable foothold or ladder.
Do not overreach.
Do not cut above shoulder height.
Always use your both hands to grip the saw.
