INTENDED USE

this chainsaw is designed for cutting branches, trunks, 

logs and beams of a diameter determined by the cutting 

length of the guide bar. It is only designed to cut wood. It 

is only to be used outdoors, by adults. 

Do  not  use  the  chainsaw  for  any  purpose  not  listed 

above. this chainsaw is not to be used for professional 

tree  services.  It  is  not  to  be  used  by  children  or  by 

persons  not  wearing  adequate  personal  protective 

equipment and clothing.

RESIDUAL RISkS: 

even  when  using  the  chainsaw  as  intended,  there 

remains  a  residual  risk  of  harm  which  cannot  be  fully 

prevented. the following list of potential hazards should 

be read and understood. You should pay extra attention 

and care to these items to reduce the risk of occurrence 

or injury.

n

  Contact with exposed cutting teeth and saw chain.

n

  access to rotating parts (the saw chain)

n

  unexpected,  abrupt  movement  (kick  back)  of  the 

guide bar.

n

  Flying chain parts (thrown off or broken)

n

  Flying material (cut from the work piece)

n

  Inhalation of saw dust and particles or emissions from

GENERAL SAFETy RULES

 

WARNING

 read and understand all instructions. Failure to 

follow all instructions listed below may result in 

fire and/or serious personal injury.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

n

 

know  your  tool.

  read  the  operator’s  manual 

carefully. learn the saw’s applications and limitations 

as  well  as  the  specific  potential  hazards  related  to 

this  tool.  We  recommend  you  attend  a  professional 

training  course  to  increase  your  awareness  and 

proficiency in all chainsaw operations.

n

 

kickback  may  occur

  when  the  nose  or  tip  of  the 

guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes 

in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. tip contact 

in  some  cases  may  cause  a  lightning-fast  reverse 

reaction,  kicking  the  guide  bar  up  and  back  toward 

the  operator.  pinching  the  saw  chain  along  the  top 

of  the  guide  bar  may  push  the  guide  bar  rapidly 

back  toward  the  operator.  either  of  these  reactions 

may  cause  you  to  lose  control  of  the  saw,  which 

could  result  in  serious  personal  injury.  Do  not  rely 

exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw. 

as  a  chainsaw  user,  you  should  take  every  step  to 

keep your cutting jobs free from accident and injury.

n

  With  a  basic  understanding  of  kickback,  you  can 

reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. sudden 

surprise contributes to accidents.

n

  Keep  a  good  firm  grip  on  the  saw  with  both  hands 

when  the  engine  is  running.  place  your  right  hand 

on  the  rear  handle  and  your  left  hand  on  the  front 

handle  with  your  thumbs  and  fingers  encircling  the
