For example: do not use it to cut plastic, masonry or construction materials other than wood. Using the
chain saw for operations other than those specified may result in hazardous situations.

Be careful when using the machine during stormy weather. Do not use the machine during lightning,
thunderstorms or in bad weather in general.

There is advantage of using the provided spiked bumper when cutting trees and thick branches.

Perform regular functional check of the clutch. It should be no have chain movement at idling speed.

When operating the tool, be careful of the emission of exhaust gases, lubrication oil mist and saw dust;
avoid being exposed to these and wear protective equipment.

Wear protective gloves when assembly, disassembly, sharpening chain tensioning and when handling the
guide bar.

Guide-bar and chain adjustments shall be performed with the engine stopped.

Regularly check and test the chain brake.

Hazards may be encountered while using the saw, such as blockage of the saw chain. In order to reduce
hazards, follow the instruction for cutting operation; always check the condition of the tool. Do not start the
chainsaw directly in a tree.
1.2 FUEL HANDLING

Be very careful when handling fuels. They are flammable and the vapors are explosive.

Use only an approved container.

Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel while the machine is on. Turn off the unit and allow the engine and
exhaust components to cool before refuelling.

Do not smoke.

Never refuel inside a room

Never store the tool and the fuel tray indoors where there is a naked flame, such as near a water heater.

If fuel has spilled, do not attempt to start the machine, but rather move it away from the spill before starting
to use it. Clean any spills.

Replace and tighten the fuel tank cap after refuelling.

Follow the instructions in this manual for filling the tool with fuel.
1.3 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Stop the tool and wait until it stops. Make sure all moving parts have come to a standstill.

Allow the machine to cool before performing inspection, adjustments, maintenance, servicing and storage.

Store the tool where fuel vapor will not reach a flame or spark.

When transporting and storing, always place the tool in its transport guard and protective device on it.
1.4 CAUSES OF REBOUNDS AND PREVENTION BY THE
OPERATOR

Bounce may occur when the spout or end of the chain guide touches an object, or when the wood tightens
and pinches the cutting chain in the cutting section.

The contact of the tip may in some cases cause a sudden reverse reaction by bouncing the chain guide up
and back towards the operator.

Pinching of the cutting chain on the upper part of the chain guide can force the chain guide to the operator
abruptly.

Either of these reactions can result in loss of control of the saw likely to result in a serious personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively on safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, all measures should be
taken to eliminate the risk of accident or injury during cutting.

Bounce results from improper use of the tool and / or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking the appropriate precautions specified below:
-
Hold the saw with both hands firmly with the thumbs and fingers encircling the handles of the saw and
place your body and arms to allow you to withstand the rebound forces. The rebound forces can be
controlled by the operator, if appropriate precautions are taken. Do not allow chain saw to start.
- Do not stretch the arm too far and do not cut above the shoulder height. This helps prevent
unintentional end contacts and allows better control of the chain saw in unforeseen situations.
- Use only the manufacturers specified replacement guides and chains. Incorrect replacement guides
and chains may cause chain breakage and / or rebound.
- Follow manufacturer's instructions for sharpening and servicing the chain saw. A decrease in the depth
gauge level can lead to an increase in rebounds.
