Always ensure there is no damage to the front guard and chain brake and that the
handles and anti-vibration insulation are not damaged
Always check the throttle only opens when throttle lock pushed in
Always check the chain is the correct chain for the chainsaw as recommended by
the manufacturer as this reduces the danger of kickback
Check working place, the cutting object and cutting direction. Remove any obstacles
Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing and planned
retreat path from the falling tree.
Use caution and keep bystanders and animals out of the working area ie a diameter
of 2.5 times of the cutting object.
Inspect the machine for worn, loose, or damaged parts. Never operate a machine
that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled.
Make sure the saw chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released.

WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE

Assess the risks of the intended work area and notify others show may be in the
area or on the site
Always ensure there is a safe distance between you and other workers
Always have a person available who is designated to contact the emergency
services in an emergency
Always hold the machine firmly with both hands when the engine is running. Use a
firm grip with thumb and fingers encircling the handle.

OPERATION
●
Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.
● Never touch the muffler, spark plug or the metallic parts of the
engine while the engine is in operation or immediately after
stopping the engine. Doing so could result in serious burns or
electrical shock.
● Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings
because slender material may catch the saw chain and be shipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
● When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back to
that you
won’t be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is
released
● Check the tree for dead branches that could fall during felling
● Always shut off the engine before setting it down.
● Beware of mist from oil lubrication.
● Be careful of inhaling saw dust or getting it into your eyes when
cutting wood.
