Sawing
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 all the safety regulations which can restrict the use of the machine. 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.
It is recommended that daily inspection before use and 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.
Guard against kickback
This saw is also equipped with a chain brake that will
stop the chain in the event of kickback if operating prop
-
erly.
You must check the chain brake operation before each
usage by running the saw at full throttle for 1 or 2 sec
-
onds and pushing the front hand guard forward. The
chain should stop immediately with the engine at full
speed. If the chain is slow to stop or does no stop then
replace the brake band and clutch drum before use.
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 or chain may increase the risk of serious person
-
al injury due to kickback.
