GENERAL SAFETY RULES
GB
WARNING!
When using petrol tools, basic safety precautions, including the following, should always be followed to
reduce the risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to the unit. Read all these instructions before operating this
product and save these instructions. Get to know your chainsaw before putting it to use. Familiarize yourself with the
safety features and know how to turn the saw off immediately in cases of emergency. Get used to the chainsaw by
practising cutting small logs first before proceeding to main task. The use of a log cradle is recommended.
1.
DO NOT operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious
injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any
combination of these persons may result from one-
handed operation. A chain saw is intended for two-
handed use.
2.
DO NOT operate a chain saw when you are fatigued.
3.
Use safety footwear, snug-fitting clothing, protective
gloves, and eye, hearing and head protection
devices. Protective bodyware (chainmail) is also
recommended.
4.
Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain saw
at least 12 feet (4 metres) from the fueling point
before starting the engine.
5.
DO NOT allow other persons to be near when
starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep
bystanders and animals out of the work area.
6.
DO NOT start cutting until you have a clear work
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from
the falling tree.
7.
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain
when the engine is running.
8.
Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw
chain is not contacting anything.
9.
Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the
guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler
away from your body.
10. DO NOT operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely
assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving
when the throttle control trigger is released.
11. Shut off the engine before setting the chain saw
down.
12. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush
and saplings because slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
13. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for
springback so that you will not be struck when the
tension in the wood fibers is released.
14. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel
mixture.
15. Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas.
16. DO NOT operate a chain saw in a tree unless you
have been specifically trained to do so.

the user manual safety and maintenance instructions,
should be performed by competent chain saw service
personnel.
18. When transporting your chain saw, use the appropri-
ate guide bar scabbard.
19. DO NOT operate your chain saw near or around
flammable liquids or gases whether in or out of doors.
An explosion and/or fire may result.
20. Do not tank fuel, oil or lubrication when the engine of
chain saw is running.
